Welcome Back to Work

Revive and bring your past self as backup

Welcome Back to Work is a single-player, top-down survivors-like action roguelite. In Survival mode, spend VIP badges to revive and keep your run going, then return to your grave and rescue the self who just fell. The horde you faced alone now has another full loadout firing back.

Every rescue brings a whole loadout back into the fight

The moment you rescue your past self, they join your line with the weapons and combat stats they had when they fell. They attack automatically and cannot die again. Go from dodging the horde alone to fighting side by side with yourself, and take back the ground you just lost.

Up to 6 weapons per self, a whole squad opening fire

Each self can carry up to 6 weapons and keeps their own loadout. Revive, rescue, and bring more past selves into the fight, growing from a lone survivor into a line of heavily armed selves, all firing alongside you.

Weapons attack automatically. You handle movement, dashes, and active skills as you lead your squad through the horde.

Discover fusions and build even more firepower

Buy and upgrade weapons, explore fusion recipes, and discover new ways to combine melee, ranged, magic, and status effects. Find a new weapon, then build around what it can do.

Fuse matching-level ingredients into new weapons:

• Revolver + Submachine Gun → Gatling Gun

• Sword + Fireball → Flame Blade

• Mop + Dagger → Reaper Scythe

A fusion changes how you fight. When that build becomes a past self, it can keep contributing to the squad. A past self's Ice Shard can freeze enemies, setting up bonus damage from your current self's Icebreaker Scepter.

Five starting points for your next build

• Betty: All-round weapon damage for a wide range of loadouts.

• Baba Yaga: Melee and knockback for fighting up close.

• Mr. Will: Ranged damage for building a squad around sustained fire.

• Armstrong: Magic and explosions for area damage.

• Mr. Dot: Status effects and damage over time.

Two ways to fight alongside your past

Survival: rescue yourself within the same run. Spend VIP badges to revive, then return to your grave and spend badges to rescue your fallen self. Both actions draw on the same resource. Die again before rescuing your last fallen self, and that unrescued grave is replaced.

Chapter 2 — Loop: meet your past selves in later attempts. Your current character cannot revive. Graves from earlier attempts appear at their corresponding waves, giving you a chance to rescue past selves with their old characters and builds.

Your shift survived the apocalypse

One bathroom break stranded you inside the twisted Grapple building. Monsters have taken over the office. The company still has just one thing to say:

Welcome back to work.
