About Going Under
About this game
Going Under is a satirical dungeon crawler about exploring the cursed ruins of failed tech startups. As an unpaid intern in the dystopian city of Neo-Cascadia, you’ll wield office junk as weaponry as you make your way through the offbeat procedural dungeons beneath your company campus.
The Future is Wack
Failed businesses no longer just cease to exist--they sink beneath the earth, and their employees are cursed to wander the halls for eternity as monsters. It’s your duty to put these monsters out of their misery and repossess their assets--so that your boss can afford a new car, or something.
Not All Heroes Get Paychecks
Battle through the remains of failed startups themed off of gig workers, dating sites, and cryptocurrency. Uncover the true motives of your employer, a carbonated drink startup known as Fizzle, and their parent company, a subscription box manufacturer with an army of helpful shipping drones. Make friends with your co-workers! Hire a freelance goblin! Date a slime! Invest in crypto! Set a rideshare on fire!
Fight Flexibly
In the dungeons of Going Under, almost everything can be used as a weapon, from laptops to brooms to body pillows. Proper weapons can be found as well, but even they can break at a moment’s notice if you aren’t careful. Playing cautiously and picking the right weapon for the situation are musts if you intend on surviving your internship.
Horrible Bosses
And you thought your boss was a monster. At the bottom of the dungeons lurk the founders of the cursed startups, getting rich off of investments while their employees fight amongst themselves. Defeat them and return to the surface with their enchanted relics to empower the company you work for.
Get Paid in Experience
As you explore, you’ll encounter powerful Skills that change the way you play. Learn them at the Cafe and they’ll show up in future runs. Use a Skill often enough, and you’ll get it “endorsed” and available to start your expeditions with. Combine multiple Skills for crazy synergies, and you’ll be cleaning house in no time.
A World of Characters
Complete Tasks for your co-workers to gain Clout with them and unlock their unique bonuses. Learn more about Neo-Cascadia, the origins of Fizzle, and how the drone shipping empire known as Cubicle came to dominate the city. Can you save your company and yourself from going under for good?

My eyes are offended by the color scheme. Aside from that, it isn't a bad roguelike. I'd just rather play other ones. However, if you want a parody of office and startup culture in the form of an action roguelike you may enjoy this a lot.

Very fun game, you might be turned off by the corpo art style, but it's 100% intentional parody.

Very charming game, with a ton of humor and great characters/world design. The rogue-like style of the combat is overwhelming at the start, mostly because most of the rooms are crowded with foes and you have to deal with different weapons (which can break). Eventually, you will manage to get used to it and fully enjoy the game. I really like the sub-objectives for each character's quest and the fact that runs are not too long, meaning that you always want to do "one more".
(impostor mode is a pain in the XXX though, fun but damn hard !)

Great game, I'm a sucker for rouge likes and this one might actually be my favourite, such a shame it went under the radar. It's not "too" difficult and has a really chill vibe, artstyle and story. Definitely recommend if you love rouglikes and want a small little time passer

I have played the game for a few hours and I love it.
I think the way they tell a story is ingenious. They are commenting on corporate greedyness and issues but at the same time have a super fun story to get stuck into. It makes it super fun and makes me invest far more if it was a normal dungeon game. At the same time it's not done in a way that makes you feel like activism is involved it's more just poking fun at elements of society.
I like the touch of being able to unlock the features of your mentors.
I like the little ways you can upgrade and how there's a coffee shop in the middle of the dungeon because that's genuinely where I think a coffee shop is most needed.
The art style isn't usually a style I'm sold on but the characters faces are cute enough and have personality that it makes it stand out from other bubble shaped games. The music is cute the colours are fun.
Feedback:
I suppose I'd want a bit more variety of game play ? And some more chill time activities where you can sit by the cafe and have a salad or coffee and be able to level up with some items before hand? But that might still come!
