As the prophecies foretold, the Steam Simfest: Hobby Edition is now underway through, you guessed it, Steam. Today marks the start of a weeklong event on Steam that celebrates all things simulation.

From now through April 4, Steam users can try out demos, get deep discounts, and watch developer livestreams for all sorts of sim games. They've got games where you run an animal shelter, games where you run trains, games where you hunt, games where you drive, games where you cook, games where you flip houses, and more.

In fact, it seems to have most of the big "sim" style games out there except for The Sims.

Here's what Valve has to say about Steam Simfest: Hobby Edition.

No pressure*, but there is a zoo-sized** amount of cool sims to check out this week, and we're excited to share what we have brewing***.

(As in games that simulate):

*Pressure/power washing
**Running a zoo
***Brewing Beer
****Ran out of puns, but also: Running your own gas station; running a farm; building a truck; building a PC... the opportunities are endless!
