I would love a horror game set in a massive building with nothing but networking equipment. With the goal being to fix and patch old parts of the system finding more and more awful things that have happened to the previous employees.

Wow, there really is a game for everything.

Well damn. I might just be sold based on the trailer alone.

Not exactly what you’re looking for but this came across my radar recently https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939600/Tower_Networking_Inc/

I knew of Tunnet, but this looks cool. I wonder if it’s at all helpful for getting to grips with some networking intuition, I always feel behind when it comes to anything networking related.

Good news, they have these, and you even get paid to do it!

Not nearly enough mind you.

And the horror is the employees that turned into monsters that just want to get their computer fixed and chase you. And to placate the monsters you have to fix their problem. Each employee has a different problem. But if you mess up you just anger more employees.
