Short description
You're the sole sysadmin for a company scaling from 10 to 100,000 employees. Everything breaks. Everything. Automate your way out of ticket hell or watch it all burn.
About this game
Welcome to your new job. You’re already behind. Congratulations. You’re now the sole sysadmin for a growing company. Tickets are coming in. Users are panicking. Management wants answers. And the printer is angry. SYSADMIN HELL is a dark, sarcastic incremental management game about keeping a company alive while everything, and everyone, actively works against you. TICKETS NEVER STOP Handle a constant stream of increasingly ridiculous support tickets: “My password doesn’t work” (it’s Caps Lock) “Email is down” (it isn’t) “The printer smells funny” (oh no) “It worked yesterday” (it did not) AUTOMATE OR BURN OUT Clicking only gets you so far. Buy upgrades, scripts, and tools to automate the chaos: Auto-responders that quietly chip away at tickets Password reset scripts that mostly work Macros, coffee machines, and self-service portals nobody reads Automation isn’t perfect; it fails, stalls, and sometimes makes things worse. Just like real IT. THE DAY GETS WORSE IN REAL TIME This isn’t a relaxed idle game. As the day progresses: Backlogs trigger chaos spikes Critical tickets make future tickets harder Management emails escalate from “concerned” to “furious” A STORY TOLD THROUGH INCIDENTS The story unfolds through: Strange one-off “shadow tickets” Escalating emails from unnamed departments Subtle changes in tone as the company grows Something is wrong here. And it’s not just the users. A DESKTOP FROM A BETTER, WORSE TIME Experience it all through a nostalgic Win98-inspired desktop: Windowed apps Grey panels Ugly buttons Fonts that should have stayed dead It looks familiar. That’s part of the problem.
