The jobs are represented as tongue-in-cheek approximations of real occupations: "Auto Mechanic", "Gourmet Chef", "Store Clerk" and "Office Worker".

Accompanied by a computer character who provides exposition and instructions, players perform tasks associated with that occupation, some of them realistic and others comical.

Using the motion controllers of the HTC Vive, Oculus Touch, PlayStation Move, Windows Mixed Reality headsets, Valve Index, PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, or depending on the platform, to represent their hands, players interact with the virtual environment similarly to how they would in real life.

The player is also free to mess around with the various objects in their reach, such as throwing things in trash cans or at robots, eating food lying around or taking the sunglasses off a customer.

Some of the game's humor comes from puns and other forms of word play: as an auto mechanic, one of the nine varieties of tires the player can give customers resembles a chocolate-covered doughnut with sprinkles as a play on the informal term "donut tires" often used to describe compact spare tires that are generally unsuitable for driving long distances; as a chef, the player is instructed to bake a cake for an underage customer's birthday party, and one of the ingredients is a flower, which sounds phonetically similar to "flour."

The game also features a special "spectator mode" that serves to provide a more entertaining perspective to the viewers who are observing someone playing the game: aside from the first person view, the player wearing the helmet can position cameras around themselves and switch between them, which then provide a viewport to the external screen of the VR setup; the player is then represented as a disembodied VR helmet and two gloves.
