I'm so glad the game manages to capture both the reality of food service (getting attached to your utensils, getting yelled at by customers) AND the fantasies the food service workers wish they could live (talking back, slamming their food, shooting them in the face with sauce).

10:37 Fun Fact as a Quest 2 owner: Help Wanted 2 didn’t launch on the Quest store. Rather, Quest users had to buy on SteamVR and use a link cable to play day 1, so the amount of people that can play this game is likely even less than originally thought. HW2 launches on the Quest store in Spring 2024 but is accepting preorders.

That eye tracking has some potential in a horror game like this. I could see you having to do a staring minigame or smth in this game where you may or may not get jumpscared, and staring is necessary but at the same time increases tension as a certain unknown (or perhaps known but unperceived) moment approaches like the moment when you're sitting in one of those drop tower thrill rides and it just keeps going up and you think it's boutta stop but then it actually stops and then yeah... but also, different topic... imagine an animatronic that plays some hardcore industrial metal or smth that acts as a cue that you can jam out to, knowing it means certain death...
