About the Game

Employed by a sinister authority, you take on the role of a glorified handyman - tasked with upkeeping various subsystems in dangerous environments.

Get in, do your thing, then get out.

Each run you'll find yourself on is tailored by you.

You get to choose which;
LEVEL to visit,
GAMEMODE to play,
MONSTER to hide from,
and DIFFICULTY to suffer through.

Your brave work does not go unnoticed!

  • Complete levels and gamemode objectives to be rewarded with Exp and Cash.

  • Gain Exp to level up and earn Skill Tokens to improve your servicing and survival abilities.

  • Earn Cash to purchase Specialty Items and upgrades to help ensure you leave work in one piece.

Be careful - if you fail to complete a level (i.e. you die)... you don't get paid!

The awesome features listed below are planned and are NOT currently in-game.

  • More ways to mix and match: 25+ levels, 10+ gamemodes, 10+ monsters, and 5 difficulties overall.

  • Online multiplayer: Host or join lobbies with your friends.

  • The Shaft: Play an infinite series of procedurally generated levels, with its own optional progression.

  • Level editor & Workshop: Create and share levels on the Steam Workshop.

And more...
