SYSADMIN Hell
SteamAbout SYSADMIN Hell
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.
