GARBAGE DAY

Bin there, dumped that in SUNSET SHIFT

- Tom Sykes

You've been hired to shift garbage in this subtle but effective trucking sim, although there are certainly worse places you could perform the job. Sunset Shift is set on a beautiful island that has been commandeered by the rich elite, who holiday in villas in each of the island's four scattered towns. All you have to do - in a ridiculously well-paid job - is spend a couple of hours each day collecting their rubbish.

You spend the game in the confines of a bin lorry, navigating winding roads as you meander from town to town. The roads are well laid out, with the towns being built on a circuit that you can take clockwise or anti-clockwise, so you can more or less zone out and enjoy the chilled soundtrack as you do your job.

Outside each clutch of luxury villas there will be a skip full of rubbish, and if you stop in front of it it will be added to your load. You do this for every town – one skip for each town, at least to begin with – before you can offload it and return to the office.
