"Success beyond expectations, earning over $100,000": This weird job sim made in a year would be torture for me, but it's changed its developer's life after "bitter failure"

Cabin Crew Life Simulator.

Another job sim has hit Steam. Cabin Crew Life Simulator was released in early access on February 19, inviting players to experience the routines, challenges, and emergencies of airline travel's unsung shepherds. As someone who's done too much flying this year already, this sounds like a nightmare I have to pay for, but it's clearly grabbed some people less weary of planes.

The game has since accrued 177 user reviews with a 77% positive score. That's modest success compared to some games – especially mega-hits like Supermarket Simulator, arguably the game best encapsulating the genre boom in this moment – but for solo developer Simon of studio SOGA, it's been a life-changing shot in the arm after two games that ended with "bitter failure."
