Labberdash

Somewhere behind the water heater, a closet is quietly becoming adatacenter. 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?
