Workshop Simulator Comes to Consoles in March

I think it is fairly obvious by now that the folks here at Phenixx Gaming love a good simulator or two. We’ve covered City Builders, Powerwash Simulator, Car Mechanic Simulator (I think) and a fair few others, including a few trucking simulators. Now, how about we get into the restoration business? This is where Workshop Simulator comes in, from Polish developer Intermarum.

Workshop Simulator will release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox Consoles on the 10^th of March. According to the press release, you will “craft and restore vintage toys, tools, furniture, and works of art using true-to-life tools and technical craft, while exploring a warmly nostalgic tale of family history and the stories of days gone by that are locked inside some of our most cherished possessions.”

The press release also discusses the premise of the game, stating: “Workshop Simulator offers players a cozy retreat with a nostalgic and creative experience focused on restoring vintage items through disassembling, cleaning, sanding, and painting – or to express their own creativity through brand-new creations. The rewarding nature of tools and craft is complemented by a heartwarming story about lessons in patience and generosity across generations.”

Creative & Art Director at Intermarum, Marcin Książek also commented on the announcement, stating: “There’s something about restoring items and toys which taps into a sense of nostalgia, creativity, and, warmth. This in turn breathes new life into items which may have otherwise been discarded. It’s a hard thing to capture in a videogame, but we feel we’ve got pretty close with Workshop Simulator and we hope that players will love what we have created for them and enjoy tinkering and restoring items so that they shine.”

I’m ready for a new simulator to sink my teeth into, and Workshop Simulator seems like the next big thing. Granted, it may not be for everyone, but it seems like the team at Intermarum has a clear vision in mind. Who knows, maybe this will be the game to unseat Powerwash Simulator as the king of satisfying simulators. I doubt it, but it could happen.
