Overview

Domain-Controller is a curious blend of simulation, adventure, and casual gameplay from Blue Anchor Games, released on October 31, 2026. You step into the shoes of a new IT support hire at Kelmore Research, a facility that keeps zombies on the premises.

While the staff barely thinks about the undead, your job revolves around the ticket queue: password resets, printer issues, Wi-Fi problems, and a stubborn monitor. But there's a twist—every door controller, camera, and cell sensor in the building is a domain-joined Windows machine, so those tickets land on your desk too.

Highlights

  • Real PowerShell Terminal: The game features a working PowerShell console that mimics the real thing. You'll use commands like Get-ADUser, Add-ADGroupMember, Get-WinEvent, and Invoke-Command—the same tools admins use daily, complete with authentic error messages.
  • Ten Floors, Ten Days: The offices sit on top, while nine sub-levels below house the research and containment areas. You'll work through a ten-day scenario, managing the building's IT infrastructure floor by floor.
  • Single-Player with Save Anytime: This is a solo experience, and you can save your progress at any moment, making it easy to pick up and play in short bursts. Steam Achievements add extra goals for completionists.

Who It's For

If you've ever worked in IT or dabbled in system administration, Domain-Controller will feel oddly familiar—and strangely entertaining. It's also a great fit for fans of job simulators who enjoy problem-solving in a quirky, low-stakes environment.

The zombie setting adds flavor without turning into a horror shooter; it's more about the daily grind of keeping the facility running. Even if you're new to PowerShell, the game eases you into the commands, making it accessible for curious players.
