The familiar, down-to-earth setting of a Pennsylvania-based paper company seems worlds away from the infinite, randomly generated universe of No Man’s Sky. However, one dedicated space explorer has meticulously recreated the iconic office from The Office within the game. It’s a delightful discovery for fans of the show and anyone who enjoys impressive base building in Hello Games’ expansive space exploration game.
The creator of this digital replica, a user named Ok_Misterpiece_9363, showcased their creation on Reddit, where it has garnered over 14,000 upvotes and numerous enthusiastic comments. Fans are praising the accurate reproduction of the Scranton office and warehouse, peppering the comments with beloved Office references.
What makes this recreation truly remarkable is its attention to detail in capturing the building’s layout and the feeling of navigating the space. Having explored several Dunder Mifflin recreations in games like VRchat, I’m accustomed to seeing only the main office floor where most of the show’s scenes occur. But this NMS version allows you to enter from the ground floor and, using a teleportation device, explore the main office area, the “annex,” and even descend to the warehouse.
Keen observers of the show may notice a few omissions and unique interpretations. Ryan, the intern who evolved (or devolved) into a fraudster and then a hipster, is missing his closet-sized office from the later seasons. The conference room leads directly into the warehouse, instead of having a corridor behind it as in the show’s set. And the warehouse itself doesn’t closely resemble its appearance throughout the show’s nine seasons.
Despite these minor discrepancies, this is a genuinely charming tribute to a well-loved comedy series, filled with callbacks to memorable moments, including Pam and Jim’s rooftop date, the thrilling speedometer race scene from season five, and more.
