Steam Store description

Welcome to Layer8Problem – the ultimate sysadmin simulator! You are Miller, the only competent IT administrator at GlobalCorp. Your job would be great, and quiet, if it weren't for the users. Because the biggest security risk in any company is always sitting about 30 cm in front of the screen – the notorious "Layer 8 problem". Your goal? Survive the everyday office madness until you can finally clock off at 16:30. Without getting sacked. Without setting fire to the server room. And above all: without running out of coffee. How does it play? Layer8Problem is a satirical, text-based decision game with resource management. Every email, every phone call and every trip to the coffee machine forces a decision on you. Do you handle it professionally, or do you take the path of maximum laziness? Every answer you give moves the three values you survive on: Aggro: Stupid questions drive your blood pressure up. Reach 100 % and you lose it completely, and your monitor goes out of the window. Laziness: Why do today what you could simply ignore? Dodge the work too often and the boss gets suspicious – and punishes your decisions harder. Boss Radar: Quietly browsing the internet or sabotaging a colleague is funny – right up until the boss notices. Fill the radar and you get a written warning, then the sack. Two ways to play Working Day. One shift, 08:00 to 16:30. Survive until clocking-off time – by the evening everything is forgotten, and tomorrow you start from zero again. Working Week. Monday to Friday in one go, and here nothing is forgotten. What you leave lying around today…
