SYSADMIN Hell hakkında
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.
