Turn your screen’s idle time into a highway journey.

Desktop Truck Simulator is an ambient, cozy trucking and logistics game designed to live alongside your daily computer workflow. Whether you’re writing code, studying, or browsing, a tiny lo-fi truck travels across your desktop, delivering retro game consoles, potted succulents, and warm coffee beans through scenic, low-poly landscapes.

It’s not about high-octane racing; it's about the peaceful hum of the engine, the glow of the dashboard at 2:00 AM, and the gentle progression of a long-haul trip.

Key Features:

• Designed for your Desktop (Multiple Window Modes):

  • Small Corner Mode: A compact window that sits neatly in your screen's corner.

  • Medium / Full-Screen Mode: Pull over, open the cab, and take active control to customize your rig, browse the job board, socialize at stops, resolve roadside events, and plan your next route.

  • Taskbar Strip Mode: A minimalist, zero-intrusion visual journey running right above your Windows taskbar.

Dashboard Terminal: A compact terminal sits at the heart of your dashboard, putting everything you need for the journey within reach. Manage your drive, check your route and fuel level, and keep an eye on the road from the comfort of your cab.

• The Cassette Deck: Collect cassette tapes and choose the music for your journey. Pop a tape into your dashboard deck and settle into warm lo-fi beats, the soft hiss of analog audio, and rain against the windshield.

  

• A Personal, Lived-In Cab: Personalize your truck’s dashboard with unique trinkets bought from roadside vendors or found along the road. Pin polaroids of your scenic photo-stops to your sun visor, and watch your passport accumulate beautiful stamps from every city you visit.

  

• Warm Drinks and Lonely Roads: Pull over at uniquely stylized low-poly truck stops, from neon-lit cyberpunk harbors to snowy mountain lodges. Rest, refuel, take photos, and share quiet, heartfelt conversations with late-night characters like ex-hauler baristas, retired radio hosts, antique vendors, or a slightly glitchy retro vending machine AI.

• Atmospheric Road Events: While you work, the highway tells its own stories. Encounter light, text-based narrative moments, from mysterious radio transmissions meant for someone else, to a stranded mechanic in the rain, to cozy late-night thoughts.

• Late-Night Conversations: Pull into a truck stop, grab a warm drink, and settle in for a conversation. Get to know the colorful people who live and work along the highway, with stories that unfold across multiple visits.

Progression That Respects Your Time:

• Active Management: Pick up contracts, customize your rig, make crucial choices when events pop up and socialize with people on roadside stops or take a few pictures.

• Passive Simulation: Keep the truck alongside your desktop while you focus on your real-world tasks. Your mileage accumulates, day transitions smoothly into night, and weather shifts as the journey continues.

Put on your favorite cassette, grab a hot mug of coffee, and let the road keep you company.
