Morphology
The phrase combines 'walking' and 'simulator' in a literal, compositional way — a simulator involving walking or walking-like exploration — so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a simulation (here, a game) centered on walking/exploration. Although it is a genre label in gaming, the sense is predictable from the constituents and follows normal noun+noun composition patterns.
Etymology
Walking simulator comes from the simple idea of a game that mostly lets you walk and look around, like a 'simulator' that copies the act of walking. That's why the name means a game that focuses on exploring and story rather than fighting or puzzles.
