The story imagines if the player is a company president who employs adventurers to take on dungeons filled with monsters for the treasures that lie within. The player "recruits" or trains fighters, mages, knights, hunters, rogues, and other classes of employees, and then dispatches the employees into battles.

Hiroki Ikeshita (Harukana Receive episode director) is directing the anime at C2C, with Kenta Ihara (Saga of Tanya the Evil, Cautious Hero) in charge of series composition. Keisuke Watanabe (Yū Yū Hakusho 2018 OVA) is designing the characters. Yukari Hashimoto (Sarazanmai, Penguindrum) is composing the music.

Cast member Azumi Waki is performing the opening theme song "Hurry Love," while the character Yutoria (as voiced by Kana Ichinose) is performing the ending theme song "Oyasumi" (Good Night).

Kadokawa, Deluxe Games, and PREAPP Partners launched the game for iOS and Android devices on October 17. The game is free to play with fees for certain in-game items. Masahiro Yamamoto (Disgaea franchise) directs the game, and artists such as Asao Urata, Genyaky, Naoki Saitō, Haruta, and Mine Yoshizaki (Sgt. Frog, Kemono Friends) drew the illustrations.
