Mori
What is Mori?
Mori is a spooky Oregon Trail-like where you play as two body snatchers from 1800s Edinburgh selling cadavers to doctors for profit! What they don't realize is that they're not the only monsters in this tale! The goal is to make as much money as possible so you can pay your rent.
I decided that having a random chance of encounters would be a good way to add some probability. You can also get consumption, a disease. I tried to use a colored pencil/crayon-esc art style as well!
The Team
I'm Kindlsticks! I worked on this project solo! I've been learning how to program, and this project was the first where I wasn't so tutorial dependent, that's very exciting!
Thank you for playing... and I would love feedback!
Feel free to say hi on socials as well!
Future Things This game probably isn't very balanced, and there are a couple of things I'd like to add, which I'll list below!
- Grammar and spelling lolololololol
- More spooky visuals for Mori, our vampire. I want it to be clearer that she's transforming.
- A mini game where you have to make sure her arm isn't sticking out of the wagon, or you'll draw the officer event more.
- Events that occur because stats hit a certain level. I.e., when your health is low, you're more likely to hit the consumption event.
- Having events appear randomly, but tied to the location you're in.
- Days don't do anything right now, but the idea was that it's a currency of sorts. The more days you spend, the less money you make at the end. I also wanted her to kill you if you take too long.
- A clearer ending in general.
- Visual effects that more clearly show when you've lost health, money, or gained a day.
- When an event appears, it would be cool if it actually showed up in game.
- General optimization. I started throwing assets in willy nilly there at the end.
- More visuals in the background to spice it up.
- Responses to your choices to animate more like the event dialogue.
- More animation for our two body snatchers.

fun game! i'm excited for the updates
Thank you for playing!! I'm hoping to have some updates after the jam!
i think the design is really good, it would be cool if you see the people from the events on the screen or maybe in a little portrait, the partner has a lot of potential, it need more interactions, a system where he loses his mind, and you need to help him, or a betrayal system, where you need to keep the trust on each other.
An interrogation system could be good, an officer stop you on the way, and you need to lie really good, the character start sweeting, your partner start a fake story and you need to follow up, and the story need to be concise, for the officer to believe it, or maybe your character start telling the story, and you just need to wipe the sweat from his face, fix his expressions and posture, and there's it a lie thermometer in the screen.
Just some ideas that come to my mind, i don't know what direction you want to take. Overall the game is simple, kind of repetitive but really polish, it has a lot of details
Thank you for the feedback and playing! I'm definitely hoping to add more depth to the gameplay, and I love these suggestions.
