Description

In Morgue Mayhem you get to play around in a rather dark world where you'll embody a grave keeper. In this (recommended multiplayer) game inspired by Overcooked-like mayhem you'll be made responsible for making sure the right bodies are buried in the right coffins. In your graveyard you will have very limited space to bury people, but many mourning families will be visiting hoping to give their loved ones a proper goodbye.

Lucky for you most of those visitor do not have the best memory of their loved ones, they tend to only remember a handful of features about them such as: "Uncle Peter always had these kind blue eyes" or "grandma Sarah used to have blond hair and at least 1 leg". These requests are ones you will want to keep an eye on as it will determine whether the mourning families will be able to leave the funeral satisfied.

Their faulty memory however enables you to make some efficient choices about which parts of people you will be burying in each grave. Maybe you can even send multiple different families to the same grave and send all of them home happy ;)

Goal and Theme of the game

The goal of the game is to score as many points as possible. Points are awarded for supplying families with a funeral matching all of their requests. If you take too long to organize this or you serve them with a funeral with (parts of) people they do not recognize they will leave even less happy than they arrived.

You'll be limited in many ways however, by the limited space of the inventories in the game (your storage of body parts and the various coffins). The limited space of your hands holding only one part at a time. By the set of coffins available. By where players and people are walking. By many factors, trying to capture some of that magical chaos of multiplayer management games under the pressure of time.

About us

We usually are a team of three friends from the Netherlands who love making games and programming. We wanted to make as much of the game on our own as we could. Just how much we did you can see below. We hope you all enjoy our little game, and maybe, just maybe, if you enjoy our game leave a like/comment. We also love to hear feedback! :)

This time around we got a few extra friends to join us which allowed us to learn about working in a larger group and that twice the people does not always mean twice the amount of work done :p
Overall it was a great experience and very fun!

General details about our game

* Built with Godot, we wanted to try something new around. We can honestly say we missed some of the features and ways of working we had developed over the previous entries. However it was great to see what such an open-source product has to offer and overall pretty feature complete.
* All textures are fully custom made, huge shoutout to @joost!!
* Some sounds, tracks and other audio effects are taken from other sources. Most of them we made ourselves however! We do not own the rights to the songs we play and we do not intend to use any of this in any commercial form and ask our players to do the same. By playing and downloading our game you agree to these terms :)

Thanks for playing!

If you encounter any bugs feel free to let us know!
