Tired of the corporate grind? Ready for a job that truly makes you question reality? Then you might be ready to step into the bizarre world of Bottomless Pit Supervisor, the wickedly funny incremental management sim that just dropped on Steam.
Forget spreadsheets and water cooler talk—this is a game about corralling tourists and ensuring an abyss remains, well, bottomless.
So, What Exactly Do You Do?
As a newly appointed Bottomless Pit Supervisor, your primary tasks are absurdly simple:
- Tourist Management: Your job is to lure in unsuspecting visitors, who are apparently very keen on seeing a literal bottomless pit.
- Encourage the Descent: Once they’re there, you have to find ways to “encourage” them into the abyss. This is how you harvest their Chthonic Essence. Yes, you read that right.
- Facility Upgrades: That hard-earned Essence is used to buy and improve various (and probably sinister) facilities around the pit to automate your Essence collection. Because efficiency is everything, even when dealing with the void.
- The Prestige Pit: The game utilizes a clever prestige system. To gain the ultimate resource, Ichor, you must throw yourself into the pit! This resets your cycle, but you come back stronger with permanent upgrades, getting you closer to the grand finale: the awakening of your own boss, Zeno’rak, the Pit Supervisor.
It’s a delightful blend of the mundane (management sim) and the utterly occult, played entirely for laughs. As the solo developer, Sudo Make, puts it, it’s a game about “screaming people into a pit.”
Incremental, But in First-Person
What makes Bottomless Pit Supervisor stand out is its commitment to a first-person perspective. Unlike many incremental or clicker games that rely on flat menus, here you’re actively looking at the (admittedly janky, by design) environment of your pit. You’re physically running around, taking photos of tourists for some quick cash, and managing your increasingly strange operations.
It’s a fresh take on a familiar genre, adding a layer of immersive, though deeply silly, world-building to the satisfying loop of gain-reset-grow. The whole premise is born out of the classic “bottomless pit supervisor” greentext meme, and the game leans heavily into that absurdist, workplace-horror humour.
Tagline for a Promotion: “If you gaze into the abyss, it may just give you a promotion!”
Is It Worth the Leap?
While the core concept is genius, early feedback suggests the execution might be a little rough around the edges. Some players have reported a confusing early game and janky controls, indicating it might be more of a passion project than a AAA polish-fest.
However, if you’re a fan of incremental management sims and love games with a heavy dose of dark, self-aware humour, this is absolutely worth checking out. It offers a unique setting and mechanics that you won’t find anywhere else. Plus, who hasn’t dreamed of having a “Chthonic Essence” collection system?
Bottomless Pit Supervisor is now available on Steam. Do you have what it takes to stare into the abyss and maintain your quarterly quotas?
