Kitman is a 1-4 player sports management simulator for PC where you manage the unseen operations in a stadium's backrooms. The core gameplay involves hands-on maintenance like cleaning boots and mopping floors, uniquely mixed with the clandestine task of sneaking into the manager's office to secretly adjust the game plan. This indie title focuses on logistical upkeep and behind-the-scenes influence rather than direct coaching, scheduled for release in late 2026.
The central loop of this simulation involves managing the day-to-day necessities that keep a sports team functioning. Players are responsible for fundamental upkeep tasks, such as cleaning player boots, performing necessary repairs like patching jerseys, and ensuring the locker room environment is maintained, including mopping floors. This focus on logistical support forms the primary interaction mechanic.
However, the simulation introduces an element of clandestine activity. Beyond the required maintenance, players have the opportunity to engage in unauthorized actions, specifically sneaking into the gaffer’s office to potentially alter the team's tactical approach or fix the game plan when no one is observing.
The game distinguishes itself by shifting the focus away from direct coaching or on-field performance management. Instead, it emphasizes the gritty, logistical, and sometimes illicit side of team support. This blend of mundane upkeep and secret strategic interference creates a distinct atmosphere within the sports management genre.
This is designed as a multiplayer experience supporting between one and four players, suggesting cooperative or competitive management roles within the backroom environment.
As a main game title, there are currently no announced downloadable content packs or expansions available. The current information indicates a planned release date of December 31, 2026, exclusively for PC (Microsoft Windows).
Players can anticipate a simulation experience rooted in detailed task management and environmental interaction, layered with a narrative element driven by the need to secretly influence the team's strategy. The atmosphere is centered on the functional, often hidden, infrastructure supporting a professional sports team.
