Overview

Welcome to a company on the brink of collapse, where you are the sole member of the information systems department. Your predecessor vanished without a trace, leaving behind only an incomplete v0.3 handover document.

The executives' passwords are all 'admin1234', and approval forms get rejected simply because the stamp angle is slightly off. Within just three weeks of joining, you face late-night calls and unreasonable demands, all while wielding Linux commands as your primary tool.

But then the company's monitoring system gets hijacked, shared folders start encrypting one by one, and management scrambles to save themselves. Your only weapons are the CUI tools that haven't changed in 40 years and an AI named Orca-kun left by your predecessor.

It's time to save the company—or break it—with nothing but a keyboard.

Highlights

  • Real Linux Commands: This is not a fake hacking game. You'll use actual commands like cd, ls, grep, awk, and ssh—80 real commands in total, with error messages and syntax matching real machines. Differences are clearly documented in the man pages.
  • Incident Response Adventure: Spanning 104 episodes, you'll tackle server incidents by chaining small commands with pipes, extracting suspicious lines from 20,000-line logs, and killing 12 runaway processes in a single line.
  • Practical Engineering Habits: Learn habits that last a lifetime, like testing with ls before deleting, backing up before removal, and never settling after finding just one issue. These are skills that apply to real servers.

Who It's For

Whether you're a complete beginner who has never touched Linux or a seasoned system engineer, this game welcomes you. A thorough pre-employment training and a katakana glossary (tutor words) ensure that even novices can jump in.

If you enjoy dark humor, workplace satire, and problem-solving under pressure, this adventure will keep you engaged.
