About the Game

The coffee is terrible. The management is worse. And somewhere between the breakroom and the boardroom, things got a lot more complicated. Grounds For Termination is a roguelike deckbuilder set inside a corporate machine with a lot to hide. Pick a class, build a deck, and fight your way through ten floors of co-workers, managers, and bosses to find out just how deep the bad decisions go.

Make It Yours Before You Clock In

Before a run begins, you build your new hire. Mix and match hair, face, clothes, and accessories across a deep pool of combinations. You're not just picking a class - you're deciding who walks through that door.

Five Classes, Countless Builds

Every run starts with a choice. The Bruteforcer hits hard and doesn't apologize. The Specialist builds precise, devastating combos. The Security agent plays the long game. The Spammer floods the board. The Generalist adapts to anything. But the class is just the foundation - Supply Closet Items picked up through exploration and earned on every level-up can completely change how your deck operates. Five classes. Far more ways to play.

Build Your Deck, Then Wreck With It

Draft cards from rewards, buy or shred them at the Grey Market, and collect passive Supply Closet Items through exploration and every level-up you earn. The right item at the right time doesn't just complement your deck - it redefines it. No two runs look alike.

Bosses Waiting to Deny Approvals

Ten floors. Co-workers are the daily grind. Managers are a problem. The boss at the top of each floor is the reason you came prepared.

Rat Race - For Players Who Want More

Beat the game? Good. Now beat it harder. The Rat Race system lets you crank up enemy stats run by run, per class - all the way to Rank 20. Rewards are permanent bragging rights and a leaderboard score that proves it.
