// About

Idle Ops is built for people who've experienced the real thing. The 3 AM pages. The cascading failures. The "quick fix" that became permanent infrastructure.

This isn't a generic business sim with tech-flavored paint. Every mechanic is designed to resonate with developers, DevOps engineers, SREs, and IT professionals.

Finally, a game that understands why "it works on my machine" is both a joke and a trauma.

Built With

Godot 4.x GDScript Pixel Art Chiptune Audio
