A downloadable game for Windows

ODD JOB is a modern take on the 90-degree, tile-based, RPG dungeon crawler genre, combining classic gameplay with modern twists.


YOU'RE A JANITOR IN THE 80s


You’ve been called in for a late-night shift at the headquarters of HR Inc. Mop the floors, clean the windows, and stay away from floor 24. Simple.

Just one problem—you can’t leave!

There’s something seriously wrong with this building; something behind that door. You couldn’t help but open it — and now, you’re trapped in a maze of twisting corridors and eerie rooms. The deeper you go, the stranger things become.

Will you find your way out?



A GAME FOR FOLKS WHO LOVE

[While this is the full feature list for the full game, many of these features have not been implemented yet, as this is a pre-alpha demo]

Exploring Dungeons

Venture through an enigmatic office building, filled with hidden secrets, lore, and valuable loot

Deep Lore

Uncover chilling secrets and engage with mysterious characters as you progress through the halls of HR Inc.

An Ever-Shifting Experience

Tactical Turn-Based Combat

Every move matters. Carefully plan your maneuvers, leverage environmental quirks, and deploy a wide range of weapons, tools, and abilities

Roguelite Progression

You won't be a stranger to death - but so will your foes! 

Experimenting with Builds & Character Building

Mix and match different equipment, skills and upgrades to create powerful synergies

Punch Card “Deck-building”
