ACCESS DENIED

Moon Alley City Council · IT Helpdesk

You are the new IT helpdesk officer. Your first week starts Monday. The last officer left a note that just said “no”.

Spot the red flags on every badge and form. New checks unlock each day, and your manager briefs you each evening.

Any red flag: DENY. All clear: APPROVE. Four good calls in a row climb you up a level. A breach drops you back down.

A tiny game about phishing and social engineering. Fictional council, real red flags.
