Working for no pay is absolute hell, especially when it involves clearing dingy basements filled with grubby goblins.

. Unfortunately, in the satirical dungeon crawlerIn Going Under you play as Jackie, a young woman who has found herself at the bottom of the corporate ladder at drinks company FizzleCo. Instead of getting into the corporate nitty-gritty of marketing like the internship application outlined, her boss has other plans in store and Jackie is told to clear out the company's dingy basements.

It's a roguelike that revels in its satirical humour, making constant cracks at the ridiculous, bleak toxic culture of Silicon Valley start-ups. The first dungeon you're up against is Joblin, a cheeky take on the job search website Monster.com. It's a failed business filled with goblins carrying around nicked office supplies.

It turns out that Jackie is a pretty awesome fighter and has the handy ability to use any object as a deadly weapon. There's your classic dungeon weapons like swords and spikey clubs, but the best weapons down here are office supplies. Giant pencils for poking, plastic knives for stabbing, canned coffee grenades, plant pots, computer keyboards, yoga balls, brooms, staplers—you can use the lot.

There's also a company café where you can spend your hard-earned cash on avocado toast and spiced lattes when all Jackie really wants is health insurance.
