On the same platform where major publishers sell virtual currency for real money, someone has uploaded a resume.

“My CV,” published May 3 by developer Stritart, is a free-to-play Steam game filed under the Casual genre. You walk through a modern house nestled in the woods, examining framed paintings and pinboards that present real software, game, and hardware projects. There are no objectives, no enemies, no score. Just a person’s professional history, rendered as a first-person exploration experience.

It launched with zero reviews and zero concurrent players — though to be fair, that describes most of Steam’s daily output.

The platform’s open publishing model makes this possible. Steam Direct charges $100 per listing, and beyond that, the gates are wide open. The result is a catalog that contains legitimate creative expression and bathroom simulators in equal measure.

The sincerity of “My CV” distinguishes it from the usual asset flips and meme games cluttering the store. The description reads like a genuine creative portfolio — framed projects on walls, handwritten notes explaining process and tools, a space built “for reflection, curiosity, and craft.” Whether anyone will actually play it is another question. Steam’s discovery algorithms are unlikely to surface “first-person resume walking sim” for browsers who don’t already know it exists.

But as job-hunting strategies go, publishing your CV as a downloadable 3D experience alongside the world’s largest PC gaming library has a certain audacity. Whether Stritart lands an interview or stays at zero players forever, they’ve already done something most applicants never manage: they made their resume impossible to forget.
