About This Game

You are the apprentice of a fungal priest, sent to trace a distress signal pulsing through the mycelial network. The mysterious city of Upper Morkezela awaits your arrival. Within its collapsing scrapers and humming markets, machines still pray, dead gods dream, waiting to rise again, and somewhere in the rot, there is something hidden in the Egg Cathedral.

Speak with citizens and symbionts who no longer remember where their bodies end. Trade memories for relics, your own spores for drugs, rewrite your own anatomy by embracing symbionts and align yourself with factions that feed or resist the city’s slow decay.

There is no combat. Only language, spores, and consequence. Spores are your faith, your currency and, now and then, a gardening tool.

The fate of Upper Morkezela grows or decays with every word you choose. Luckily, you can also visit a Screaming Cork tavern and relax a bit. No pressure. It's not like it's the end of the world without your actions. Or is it?

  • Narrative-driven exploration – A 2D adventure focused on dialogue, atmosphere, and discovery rather than puzzles or combat.

  • Growth/Decay world state – Every decision alters ecosystems, NPC behavior, and story tone. City locations may change depending on your choices, based on unique Growth/Decay system.

  • Symbiont companions – Merge with sentient symbiont creaturs that grant new abilities. They can also talk to you and to each other and yes, some of them can be a bit annoying. Be careful who do you invite in.

  • Three factions you can join, trading, a journal full of strange people and multiple endings

  • Discover hidden secrets of Upper Morkezela. Talk to everybody, try to do a lot of crazy things. Reveal the rich history of the world. Every gameplay could be different with unexpected quest solutions. Help a board-game designer register a second pair of arms in Shed 521, a bureaucratic maze where, they say, the ghosts of applicants who waited too long still stand in line. Meet a motherly elevator that has carried souls between floors since the Before-Time. Also, don't forget to visit a concert of Feral Toast, the best futurepunk band in Upper Morkezela!
