There is room for a food delivery horror game. Procedurally generated delivery instructions that never make sense. Contact support, have a real voice chat with a LLM that leads nowhere. Don’t make quota? Get hunted and eaten by The Manager. All for tips that don’t pay your crippling medical bills nor allow you transition into better jobs. The horror writes itself.
Sorry We're Open is a similar idea except focused on working retail rather than the gig economy. I recommend it!

The real challenge would be how you soften the game enough that players don't immediately lose all hope and go outside to touch grass.
Make that the victory condition. Secret ending after N hours of inactivity. You lose when you sign in next, though.
In game crypto currency betting!
What could go wrong?
Great idea! The PC has a phone which they interact with to use the food delivery app, accept orders, get directions, etc. we can also add some other apps like a crypto stock exchange. Here’s where it gets good, we can add a mock of TikTok and X with infinite scrolling. The content is AI generated as well. Makes the game more immersive and more horrific. Imagine getting chased by a monster, carrying someone’s burger and fries, while doomscrolling IckTok. Time to download Godot!!
