About

Going Under is a frenetic hack and slash where you wield office supplies as weapons in procedurally generated dungeons beneath a dystopian tech hub.

Each floor introduces new hazards and enemy types requiring quick reflexes and creative use of your surroundings. The gameplay blends fast-paced combat with light puzzle solving as you collect items and upgrade gear to survive deeper layers. The game’s dark humor and satirical take on corporate culture stand out, with bosses transformed into over-the-top villains. Players often highlight the satisfying combat and variety of weapons, which include both mundane and absurd office tools. While some find the difficulty curve steep, the community praises the inventive level design and absurdity of the story. With around 10, 15 hours of content it’s a brisk but engaging run through a world where failed startups meet fantasy horror.
