Every idle game pretends to be about servers. This one knows what tombstone state is.
Incident Commander is an idle/incremental game built for sysadmins, SREs, and IT ops engineers. If you've resolved a P1 at 4:58pm on a Friday, you're the target audience. If you haven't, you will be.
Uptime Points generate while you're in a meeting, on a call, or pretending to read documentation. Spend them on staff, tools, and infrastructure. Watch your UP/sec climb. Then a junior dev pushes to prod on a Friday and everything burns down.
RESOLVE INCIDENTS
P1s, P2s, P3s — the full on-call experience. Expired certificates nobody noticed for three weeks. A DROP TABLE that was somehow in the runbook. Ransomware that's probably a false positive. Probably. Tap to resolve, hold to fix, three-step resolution for the incidents that deserve your full attention.
Premium unlocks exclusive P1s: Domain Controller in Tombstone State. S3 Bucket Misconfigured Globally Since Q3. You didn't set it up. You still own it.
BUILD YOUR STACK
Hire interns who broke DNS on day one. Promote them. Deploy Ansible playbooks that are idempotent, allegedly. Add PagerDuty to wake you up at 3am so your users don't have to. Deploy Datadog so your dashboards look great and your alerts are noise. Build toward Full Observability so you still don't know what's wrong, but now you have traces, metrics, and logs about it.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Single server. RAID array. Virtualization cluster. Hybrid cloud for the data, cloud for the blame. Kubernetes, because you solved a simple problem with a complex one. Multi-region active/active. Hyperscaler contract, because at some point you stopped caring about the bill.
DAILY STANDUP
Three quests rotate every day. Resolve incidents by severity, hit streaks, earn UP fast. Your streak carries. Miss a day and the team starts asking questions.
PRESTIGE VIA DR DRILL
When you've earned enough Reputation, run a DR Drill. The team gets restructured. The servers get rebuilt. Everything resets — except your permanent multiplier. Spend REP on the prestige tree between drills: Runbook Optimization, Chaos Engineering, Automated Runbooks, SRE Culture. Each drill compounds. The grind accelerates.

Built for people who have touched Active Directory, pushed a change without a rollback plan, or typed "it's DNS" in Slack and been right.
