In an ancient dungeon buried beneath a dying world, something old and powerful still flickers in the dark. A powerful wizard knows what's down there, and he wants its secrets. What he lacks though is anyone foolish or expendable enough to retrieve it all. So he grows them. His homunculus interns are cheap, disposable, and incredibly aware of their own worth.

You are one of them, “hired” to go into the depths with little more than a torch and a quota to meet. You and up to three others descend through the evershifting dungeon with a quest, in search of loot and serving a master that, frankly, doesn't care if you make it all back.

Though the wizard's tasks are rarely straightforward, what you arm yourself with counts greatly. Weapons come in rarities from common scraps to legendary finds, each one customizable with perks and stickers that change how it plays. Upgrade and re-build as you go along with armor sets that offer new ways to play.

Arcane Interns is a 1 to 4 player co-op first person roguelike dungeon crawler, wrapped in and old school RPG aesthetic and gallows humor. Each run sees the interns descending into a procedurally shifting labyrinth of distinct biomes, from tangled forests into burning depths and ravaged kingdoms. Scavenge for gear, complete contracts from your extremely gracious employer (rated 4.6 stars by its living employees). Death is expected, though it is rarely the end. There is always another intern, and the quote is always due.

Arcane Interns is in active development at Studio 300, with a full release on the way. Follow along to see what the dungeon holds.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY

Bring up to three friends into the dark with you, where the world has a strange sense of humor and a plan can go wrong very quickly. Its residents are rarely welcoming, and every run is better with company to blame.
