How to adventure

  • Click a verb, then a thing. "Open door", "Pick up chicken", "Talk to troll" - the sentence line shows what you are about to regret.
  • Use / Give take two objects: "Use ethernet cable with router", "Give pizza to security officer".
  • Look at everything. Roughly half the game's jokes are hidden behind the Look at verb. The other half are hidden behind bad decisions.
  • No saving. At each act you get a resume code - write it on a post-it like a real sysadmin. Enter it on the title screen to continue later.
  • Losing flame wars is learning. Trolls cannot resist telling you the comeback you should have used.
  • M mutes the sound. A full playthrough runs about 45-60 minutes; finishing faster earns a bigger score bonus.
