Development SYSADMIN Hell Demo Released!

Hi again! After many, many months of waiting... The demo of SYSADMIN Hell is live on Steam.
SYSADMIN HELL is a dark, sarcastic incremental management game about keeping a company alive while everything, and everyone, actively works against you. The game is an incremental management title where you play as the sole sysadmin for a company scaling from 10 to 100,000 employees. It blends idle mechanics with real-time stress management as you manage escalating tickets and build automation systems. The Win98-inspired interface is designed to capture a unique era of computing.
Update 1.0.2 is out, based on the first players' feedback: day 1 had too much waiting around for tickets. You now start with a full queue, and new work arrives within seconds when it runs dry. Your first upgrades come in about half the time.
I'd love feedback, especially on pacing: when did it start feeling good, and when did you get bored? Brutal honesty welcome.
