Dungeons? Not in My Contract!

About the Game

Dungeons? Not in My Contract! is an anime-style action roguelike being developed in Unreal Engine.

Nefret has just landed a job as a rookie librarian. On her very first night shift, a mysterious old woman hands her a book, and the moment she opens it, she is pulled into the world inside.

Waiting for her there are strange worlds, each with its own myths and stories, and the dangers she must face to find her way back.

Even after making it back to the library, she can’t relax just yet. A nagging head librarian and an employment contract that keeps getting worse are waiting for her.

Will Nefret survive her very first job?
