Intern Pursuit Game

An ordinary first day at the office turns into a scrappy sci-fi defense mission when a portal hurls an intern across the solar system. Intern Pursuit Game blends third-person shooting with tower defense, casting its unlikely hero as the bearer of an ancient alien rune that grants combat powers alongside a space suit. The tone is knowingly pulpy rather than grim: one moment you are trying to protect an objective from alien attackers, and the next you are dealing with the absurd fact that you still have a job waiting back on Earth. Its story moves between an office setting and alien worlds, with strange robots, friendly extraterrestrials, and larger secrets surrounding the artifact.

Combat revolves around holding positions against waves of hostile creatures. You carry a sidearm for direct third-person firefights, but success depends on placing turrets intelligently and using rune-powered abilities to cover gaps, control threats, or survive when defenses are overwhelmed. Missions ask you to protect key objectives while balancing your own movement and firepower against the automated support you build. Unlockable difficulty tiers provide a reason to revisit encounters once the standard challenge stops being demanding, while the current content includes two completed planets and an office level that advances the narrative.

The strongest idea here is the hybrid structure: it is not content to leave you watching defenses work, instead putting you on the field as an active part of every holdout. Its low-budget, indie presentation and deliberately unusual workplace-meets-space-opera premise give it a different flavor from more serious tower-defense shooters. Players who enjoy the defensive planning of Orcs Must Die! but want a simpler, sci-fi third-person perspective should find its central loop appealing. It best suits fans willing to meet an in-development-feeling project on its own terms, especially those who value a compact mix of turret placement, shooting, and superpowered alien chaos.
