In the game, the player takes on the role of a young apprentice electrician who has just taken over the family business. The player must take jobs from their computer at the repair shop and then complete them for the client. Some jobs involve working on site to do things like installing new devices or making repairs, while other jobs such as repairing a device are done right on your desk in the shop. Money earned from completing jobs allows the player to buy new tools and upgrade their shop to perform harder tasks.
Even though the game has a sense of realism, and very frequently warns the player to work safely with electricity, the player cannot actually be killed in the game by electrocution.
In 2022, Dutch career portal Randstad launced a platform called Career Mode, which proposes using games like this one and Forklift Simulator to teach real useful skills to people and even prepare them for exams for the real job. It should be noted, though, that this game does not teach you any meaningful electrician skills, and the game even makes a point to point out that getting a certificate in-game does not qualify you as an electrician in any way.
Tropes:
- Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Even though the player can be electrocuted, it doesn't actually kill them.
- Bland-Name Product: A lot of the items you have to repair in the shop are only based off of common real-life objects.
- Harmless Electrocution: Electrocution doesn't kill the in-game player. The game just informs you that you've been electrocuted and subtracts points from that level's job performance.
- Schmuck Bait: The game teaches you repeatedly to pick up anything useful in the houses you work at. In one of the last missions, this includes taking a console you can repair, which the game will count as theft, and you get an email from the owner chiding you for it and asking you to repair it anyway.
- Wire Dilemma: A lot of the jobs in this game (naturally) involve shoddy or defective wires.
- Work Info Title: You are an electrician and the game is about performing your job.
