About Going Under

Going Under is a satirical dungeon crawler set in the offbeat, dystopian city of Neo-Cascadia, where you play an unpaid intern exploring the cursed ruins of failed tech startups. When businesses go under here, they do not simply vanish; they sink beneath the earth, and their employees are cursed to wander the halls forever as monsters. Your duty is to put these creatures out of their misery and repossess their assets so your boss can afford something like a new car, wielding office junk as weaponry through procedurally generated dungeons beneath your company campus.

The world skewers gig-economy culture at every turn. You battle through the remains of startups themed around gig workers, dating sites and cryptocurrency while uncovering the motives of your employer, a carbonated drink company called Fizzle, and its parent, a subscription-box manufacturer with an army of shipping drones. Along the way you can befriend co-workers, hire a freelance goblin, date a slime or set a rideshare on fire.

Combat is deliberately flexible, since almost anything can serve as a weapon, from laptops and brooms to body pillows, though even proper weapons can break if you are careless. Playing cautiously and choosing the right tool for each situation are essential to surviving your internship. Sharp, funny and inventive, this indie action roguelite is a treat for PC players.
