About TempWorker

Four Days. One Assessment. Clock In.

Work for the underworld alone or with up to three equally unreliable coworkers. Enter dangerous sites, recover relics, and bring back enough valuables to sell and pass a four-day performance assessment.

Handle the Supernatural with Ritual Tools

The monsters are not part of a safe workplace. Choose folk ritual tools for the threats you encounter, protect your coworkers, and create opportunities to move valuable relics.

One More Relic, or Return Now?

The deeper you explore, the better the haul—and the greater the chance of losing everything. Judge your team's condition, current loot, and nearby danger before deciding whether to keep searching or head home.

Every Accident Is a Team Experience

Someone clears the way. Someone carries the relics. Someone explains why the plan collapsed. A single bad decision can shape the entire shift, and everyone shares the consequences.

Solo Bathhouse: Resolve Their Stories, Gain Their Help (In Development)

Every monster has a story behind it. In the planned Solo bathhouse systems, resolving the troubles behind a monster's story can unlock the option to invite it to work at the inn or lend you a hand, turning creatures you encounter into helpers. For example, BugBird will be more than a creature you encounter while exploring: you will be able to carry it with you and use its help to fly. The bathhouse will also support treasure collecting and progression, connecting each relic-recovery trip with future exploration. These features are still in development and subject to change. Work-in-progress visual mockup: The image below illustrates visuals in development. Final visuals and features may differ.
