Labberdash
Read full descriptionHide full description
Somewhere behind the water heater, a closet is quietly becoming a datacenter. LabberDash is a comedic idle/tycoon game about secretly building an absurd homelab — one Raspberry Pi, one NAS, one suspiciously large Amazon box at a time — while keeping your spouse none the wiser. Think Papers, Please meets r/homelab. WATCH THE SUS METER Every loud fan, hot server, and unexplained package raises your spouse's suspicion. Let it climb too high and you'll face a Spouse Encounter — play your Alibi cards ("it's for work," "it's a tax write-off") to talk your way out before disaster hits. MANAGE A REAL POWER BUDGET Your circuit has real limits. Overload it and you'll trip the breaker, killing every server at once. Panel upgrades and a Solar tier raise your headroom — and quietly launder your habit while you're at it. BUILD AN ABSURD HARDWARE CATALOG Grow from a single Pi to a full rack: NAS storage, a media server, a crypto rig, a virtualization host, and more — each individually upgradeable, each with its own power draw, noise, and Sus cost. BALANCE THE HOUSE Not every purchase has to be LabberTech. DomestiTech gear — smart plugs, video doorbells, robot vacuums — lowers Sus and keeps the peace, if you're willing to spend Compute on looking responsible. No pay-to-win, no forced ads, no loot boxes — everything in LabberDash is earn-able through normal play. Optional in-app purchases and rewarded video ads are there if you want to speed things up, never because you have to. Can you go from one Pi to a full rack without ending up on the couch?

You are the new elevator operator at the Grand Hotel. The lobby queue is growing, the VIP on floor 8 is losing patience, someone is smoking in the corridor on floor 3, and one of your elevators just broke down. Can you handle it all at once? My Elevator Company is a one-thumb hotel management game with handmade pixel art. Move guests to the right floors before they get angry, hit the daily target, upgrade your elevators and grow from a single hotel into an entire chain. ■HOW IT PLAYS • Call the elevator, pick guests up, drop them on the right floor — all with one tap. • Everyone's patience is different: VIP guests pay more but get angry faster. • When the cabin is full, you decide who gets in. Guests with luggage take two spots. • Chain fast deliveries to build a streak multiplier and multiply your earnings. ■KEEP THE HOTEL RUNNING • When an elevator breaks down, fix it with a quick repair mini-game — the day doesn't stop. • Kick out the smoker in the corridor or your reputation drops. • If the cabin smells, nobody gets in — use the perfume. • If a fire starts, grab the extinguisher and put it out. ■GROW • A 10-day campaign where Mr. Selim teaches you the tricks of the trade. • Upgrade speed, capacity, doors, patience and floors. • Up to 3 elevators: the 2nd and 3rd run themselves, and the final upgrade puts your own elevator on autopilot too. • Fully upgrade a hotel and it keeps earning while you're away, unlocking new hotels on the map. The chain grows forever. ■DAILY REWARDS • A free spin of the wheel every day. • Daily login streak with a gold chest on day 7. • Earn chests from happy guests, unlock them one at a time, collect gems and cash. • Missions, achievements and manager levels. ■ALSO • Plays fully offline, no internet needed. • English and Turkish. • Portrait, one-handed play. • Remove ads with a single one-time purchase. The doors are closing and the guests are waiting. Have a good shift!
