Progress Knight is a life-sim incremental based in a fantasy/medieval setting, where you must progress through the career ladder and acquire new skills to become the ultimate being. You first start off as a beggar, barely being able to feed yourself as the days go by. However, over the years you learn new skills and gain plenty of work experience to enter new high paying jobs while managing your living expenses... Will you decide to take the easy route of doing simple commoner work? Or will you go through harsh training to climb the ranks within the military? Or maybe will you decide to study hard and enrol in a magic academy, learning life-impacting spells? Your career path is open-ended, the decision is up to you. Eventually, your age will catch up to you. You will be given an option to prestige and gain xp multipliers (based on the performance of your current life) for your next life at the cost of losing all your levels and assets. Fear not though, as you will re-gain your levels much, much more quickly than in your previous life...

Welcome to the NOC, rookie. Grab a headset, check the queue, and keep the packets moving. Network Superstar is a fast, text-driven IT career game where you start as a network noob and work your way toward becoming the teammate everyone wants on shift. Handle realistic help desk tickets, chase down incidents, study networking concepts, monitor devices, and build your reputation one smart call at a time. This is not a sleepy flashcard app. This is your daily operations console. Pick your first workplace, create your player, and start taking on the kind of problems real IT teams see every day: DNS weirdness, cabling issues, VLAN trouble, DHCP headaches, routing questions, wireless complaints, security risks, latency, bandwidth bottlenecks, and more. Set the mood while you work with original retro-inspired background music, then make the console your own with customizable player characters, app icons, and interface color schemes. Some things are hiding in the UI too, because every good network has a few secrets worth discovering. Every shift gives you decisions to make: - Work tickets from the queue - Respond to incidents before they snowball - Handle on-call pages when the network needs you - Train on level-appropriate networking scenarios - Watch the network dashboard for warning signs - Choose original background music for your shift - Customize the look of your career console - Hunt for hidden easter eggs - Manage your energy so you do not burn out mid-shift - Build streaks by making clean calls - Earn XP, reputation, salary growth, ranks, and badges - Unlock Game Center achievements as your career grows Your choices matter. The best first action closes work cleanly and earns XP. Risky or incomplete actions can create follow-up work, cost energy, and reset streaks. Rest and study when you need to recover. Ignore pager duty and the network may make sure you remember it. Network Superstar is built for people who like IT, networking, troubleshooting, operations, career progression, and that glorious feeling when a ticket finally moves to closed. You will grow through ranks like: - Network Noob - Help Desk Network Tech - Network Administrator - Network Engineer - Senior Network Engineer - Network Architect - Network Superstar Whether you are already in IT, studying networking, or just love technical problem-solving games, there is a seat open on the team. The queue is filling up. The dashboard is blinking. The day is young. Log in and show us what you have got.
