What is Going Under?

You play an unpaid intern in Neo-Cascadia, fighting through procedurally generated dungeons beneath your company where failed startups have become monster-filled ruins. Across runs, you use breakable weapons and office objects, find skills, and face startup founders while investigating your employer.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy workplace satire and jokes about startup culture
  • +you like improvising with whatever weapons you find
  • +you appreciate optional settings that ease difficult combat

Not for you if...

  • you dislike repeating dungeons after unsuccessful runs
  • you prefer weapons that do not break during fights
