Summer Intern Containment Breach

Eldritch horrors are breaching containment at a shadow government facility

..And everyone is off on holiday!!!

The only thing standing between all these unspeakable horrors and the world is the janitor, an HR intern and the weird guy who swears he has psychic powers and is somehow always around.

Sadly, the grown ups took the keys to the weapons lockers and artifact storage with them. But you did manage to find a broom closet with various unlabeled magical trinkets and doodads!

Chaotic alchemy

The game is an auto battler and you cannot rely on strategic prowess alone to win. Equip your unlikely heroes with mysterious items and watch them blow themselves and the monsters up with them.

Success relies on your ability to discern what each item does and how their effects combine with different character abilities into devastating combos that can change the tides of battle. But also against yourself.

How to play

• From the loadout screen click an item or an action to pick it up, and click a corresponding slot to drop it in.
• Each hero will perform one action and then pass their turn on to the hero to their right. If the hero lives to see another turn, they will use the next available action in their sequence.
• After all three heroes have performed and action, the monster attacks.

Tip: Experiment! The game can be won by using the items and abilities creatively. But you might not make it all the way through on your first few attempts.

Tip: Some items have passive uses as well as their active uses!
