9 to Die
Survive the quarter. Thrilled for you!
What is 9 to Die?
9 to Die is a free browser survivors-like about big-company office life. You steer one office worker through a 16-minute quarter while your skills fire on their own and a horde of meetings, tickets and mandatory modules closes in. 9 departments, 12 floors, no download and no sign-up.
Your wellbeing matters to us. Please complete the module.
Role of the week: IT
This week's featured department is IT, on 100 health, starting with Forced Reboot. Its executive action is Scheduled Maintenance, on a 90-second cooldown. The generated plan pairs Patch Day with Two-Factor, and it ranks B tier on our arithmetic. Its three career tracks are Helpdesk, SysAdmin, Security.
Turn it off and on again.
