This upcoming Steam game is pioneering the accursed trucking genre, and as a former delivery guy I could not be more thrilled
Prospice: Anomalous Logistics is an upcoming Steam game that reimagines the trucking genre with a surreal, unsettling twist. Rather than focusing on the straightforward logistics of typical trucking simulators, the game aims to capture the strange, uncanny experiences that define real delivery work.
Written by a journalist and former delivery driver with six years of industry experience, the article celebrates how the game diverges from conventional trucking games. Where most virtual trucking focuses on the satisfying but mundane aspects of moving cargo from point A to point B, Prospice: Anomalous Logistics embraces the weirder side of delivery work—the surreal encounters, inexplicable decisions, and bizarre individuals that actual delivery drivers encounter regularly.
The game’s tagline describes “the canonical deliveryman experience of having your dreambody dissolved in the labyrinth of collective death,” signaling its commitment to psychological and existential horror elements alongside delivery mechanics. This represents an experimental approach to the typically grounded trucking simulation genre, blending game mechanics with unsettling atmosphere and surreal storytelling.
The author notes that traditional videogame trucking has been too mundane compared to the complexity and strangeness of real-world delivery work. By incorporating these unconventional elements, Prospice: Anomalous Logistics appears positioned as a unique entry in the trucking game space, potentially pioneering what the author calls an “accursed trucking genre.”
