The gameplay is generally smooth and enjoyable, particularly for those with a background in IT, though it can feel repetitive and buggy at times. While the core mechanics are fun and have potential for expansion, the current early access version offers limited content, leading some players to feel it lacks value for the price. Additionally, the game's immersion may be affected by its simplification of certain mechanics and promotional references to the developer.
- “Smooth gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is super fun, with a lot of room to grow and add even more features and things to do.”
- “The game has a good gameplay loop that can be built on.”
- “While I understand the need to simplify or gamify certain mechanics, this approach breaks immersion for anyone familiar with directory services.”
- “As for gameplay and not bugs, tasks repeat pretty frequently and sometimes interrupt what you are doing.”
- “It has too little gameplay—only about 1-2 hours—for 12 euros, which is a waste of money in my opinion.”
stability

The game's stability is a significant concern, with users reporting frequent bugs that hinder gameplay and create frustration during troubleshooting tasks. While the game shows potential and offers an engaging experience for those interested in IT, the persistent issues detract from its overall enjoyment and may prevent some players from progressing. Many hope that future updates will address these stability problems.
- “You are fighting the game to let you do things rather than actually focusing on the troubleshooting itself.”
- “It's incredibly frustrating to have to use multiple keys to swap between PC, tablet, and task list while you're troubleshooting.”
- “I was really looking forward to this game, but ultimately couldn't finish day 3 because of how buggy the game is.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players expressing frustration over the lack of guidance and backstory, particularly for newcomers unfamiliar with IT tasks. Many found the critical time missions overwhelming and noted glitches that hindered progress, suggesting that the game could benefit from tutorials to ease players into the narrative and gameplay. Overall, while the quest structure is engaging, the absence of context and support detracts from the storytelling experience.
- “I fully support the direction the game is going, and I hope the developers consider adding short tutorials or guidance systems to help new players learn the basics before tackling harder missions.”
- “It runs smoothly and the quests come quick.”
- “I just had the mission where I had to create folders and each folder I created didn't register.”
- “I didn't even make it past the first mission when the game had a glitch.”
- “I also didn’t like that you spawn in a big apartment with a full setup right away, and there’s no backstory at all.”

monetization
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The monetization strategy includes mandatory advertisements that players must watch during the tutorial, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.
- “The tutorial, as part of the actual game, is learning how to move around, crouch, and stand up (yes, two separate instructions), activating a computer, and being forced to watch ads from the developer on a television.”
- “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, with constant prompts to purchase in-game currency that disrupt the gameplay experience.”
- “It's frustrating to see that progress is often locked behind paywalls, making it difficult to enjoy the game without spending real money.”

grinding

This can be particularly frustrating for casual players who prefer shorter gaming sessions, as the need to log in and re-download tasks adds to the monotony.
- “Currently, the game is very grindy and repetitive, constantly running around fixing the same errors on computers and printers with little variation.”
- “Having to log in and re-download them every time can get a bit tedious—especially as a casual player who usually plays in short sessions.”
humor

- “Some of the tickets were funny as there's some realism; for example, an end user asked why their device won't turn on.”
- “I can also solve my issues without reaching out to cybersecurity before everything I do, but even that is on the roadmap already, which I find hilarious and awesome.”
atmosphere
