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.
