Description

Downer Management is a 3-vs-3 bureaucratic autobattler about surviving a hostile org chart. Hire difficult employees, seat them across Upper, Middle, and Entry desks, and weaponize paperwork while each department's bench aura quietly changes the fight.

Pick your last job at character creation — Head of Legal, Head of Sales, Head of HR. That choice unlocks your starter department plus two secondaries. Earn the rest by clearing their buildings. Three additional blue-collar departments are planned for the free post-launch Parking Lot DLC.

Forms in triplicate. Termination is permanent.

Features

  • Three-desk autobattles. Upper, Middle, and Entry rows make positioning the core strategic lever.
  • Department auras. Benched employees project row-specific effects onto the active fight.
  • Pick your last job. Choose a former department head role, two secondary divisions, and unlock the rest through buildings.
  • Procedural personnel. Hire from a shifting applicant pool. Every employee has stats, a role, traits, portrait art, and a small exhausted history.
  • The Forms. Skills are Memos, Audits, Cold Calls, Performance Improvement Plans, Hostile Takeovers, and Wrench Smashes.
  • Office life between fights. Recruit, train, decorate, tune department themes, file performance reviews, and survive the desk hub.
  • Free DLC plan. Parking Lot is planned as a free post-launch filing with blue-collar departments and parking-garage fieldwork.
  • No microtransactions, no live service. A complete singleplayer game in one filing.
