Hades meets The Office.
A satirical roguelike dungeon crawler about startups, corporations and capitalism as a whole. The satire is pretty good and permeates through all the game, from character dialogs to dungeon themes like the cryptocurrency or dating app startup dungeon.

The dungeons while simple and short (20-30 minutes average) are really fun and cozy, and have that little crazy that we like in roguelikes, almost anything you find can be weaponiced (that means using a lot of office supplies as weapons) and breaks down after a while, which makes you improvise picking up whatever you find.
As the dungeons are not too long, the character dialogs and quests are enough to keep it fresh so the runs never get repetitive.

Another thing to remark is that from the start you can experience most of the content, meaning you won't miss out much even if you don't complete the game. The dialogs are unlocked from the beginning, and after the first dungeon it lets you choose among three different ones.

I think what makes it good is that it doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is, embracing its simplicity and using it as a strong point. For me it felt like a way better experience than longer more fleshed out roguelikes.
