About this gameFull description from Steam
Start your career in IT and face problems inspired by the real work of a technical department. Take tickets, diagnose faults, and search for their causes on your own. The game won't always tell you exactly what to do. Read the documentation, analyze the configuration, check the logs, and use available tools. Sometimes the solution will take just a few clicks; other times it will require the right command in the terminal. Think like an IT specialist. Work with an extensive, simulated IT infrastructure. Configure computers, servers, routers, switches, access points, printers, and other devices. Resolve issues related to the network, TCP/IP, system, drivers, hardware, users, permissions, Wi-Fi, BIOS, or software. Use CMD and PowerShell, test connections, check configuration, and find the source of the problem instead of looking for a ready-made "Fix" button. Your responsibilities do not end with user computers. Configure IP addressing, gateways, DNS, routers, switches, and access points. Manage servers and an environment inspired by Active Directory — users, groups, computers, and permissions. Devices operate within a shared infrastructure so that a single mistake can affect the entire network. Develop your career towards programming as well. Write and run real code directly inside the IT Specialist Simulator environment. Learn and utilize Python, Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and Git. Create scripts, websites, and web applications, work with databases, and launch your own projects in a simulated network. Write code. Test. Make mistakes. Fix them. IT Specialist Simulator is not about playing a series of identical mini-games. You receive a ticket, tools, and access to the infrastructure — you must find the way to solve the problem yourself. From a simple computer issue to corporate network configuration and server administration, and even creating your own applications. Solve tickets. Gain experience. Develop skills. Become an IT specialist.
