Coming to Steam · Singleplayer Strategy RPG
Downer Management

Climb the corporate ladder. It bites.

Recruit a fragile office roster, clear hostile buildings floor by floor, and try to get everyone back to the desk before the file gets permanent.

The Campaign

Run the Office. Clear the Building.

Downer Management is a bureaucratic autobattler about building a staff that can survive management. The office is your home base. The buildings are the climb. Every floor asks whether your roster has enough skill, spite, and remaining HP to keep going.

You decide who gets hired, who stands in front, who waits as backup, when to promote, when to demote, and when a casualty is simply the cost of doing business.

What You Do

Staff Up. Push Higher. File the Consequences.

Keep a roster alive

Hire strange little professionals, read their traits, and decide who is worth protecting before the building starts chewing through staff.

Climb hostile buildings

Pick a target, clear floors, survive elevator fights, and push toward bosses who turn office policy into combat doctrine.

Manage the fight

Set active employees, keep backups ready, promote or demote at the right moment, and let the automatic battle prove whether your plan was legal.

Build around departments

HR, IT, Finance, Marketing, Operations, Customer Service, and more each bring their own stats, roles, skills, and liabilities.

Win permanent leverage

Clear buildings to earn badges, widen growth ceilings, and turn one desperate run into long-term corporate momentum.

Live with the file

Employees get hurt, improve, fail, return, or end up memorialized. The paperwork remembers what management would prefer to forget.
