Morok Social Deduction Game Cards

I have always strived to bring freshness to familiar formats. This game reflects my own passion for board games and my attempt to create something new, drawing inspiration from fantastic stories and imagery that have influenced me

I wanted to go beyond the ordinary, to look a bit into the future, and create a game that not only refreshes familiar gameplay but also becomes a collectible object, valuable both for players and for those who see art in everyday things

I still hope to launch production of this game, starting with small series that could become highlights at thematic events, comic cons, and exhibitions

When designing the game, I focused on the key characteristics of the characters. For example, take the Inquisitors—they are brutal armed forces hunting heretics and conspirators, and in a fantastical context, witches and demons. They come at night, taking away those deemed undesirable, who are not always guilty. This is an image we all understand, built from countless films, book plots, and so on. In the game, they are a frightening character, hunting indiscriminately.Or consider the Praetorian. In the story, he’s a former soldier of the Roman Empire—an elite warrior with strong moral principles and a sense of justice. But even he can make mistakes. You might say these characters come from different eras, but that’s the point—we’re in a timeless world where the most terrifying forces are trapped. Welcome to MOROK.

I’m a graphic designer who works in various styles. I’ve noticed that opposing styles often enhance each other—for instance, flat design with photography, or in my case, classical graphics with 3D. The pseudo-realistic characters placed against fresco backgrounds make you examine them closely, analyze them, and wonder how they were made. The background tells the character’s story and places them in context, while the character itself stands out in the foreground as realistic and alive.This additional attention rewards the brain, making the design more memorable. I wanted it to feel more authentic—imagine cards with scratched drawings or elements made with real gold leaf, and the 3D characters embossed. You could feel and experience the texture. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to mass-produce such things, and they wouldn’t be practical for gameplay.

Yes, the game features characters from different cultures and eras. This was intentional, to bring together the most terrifying horrors in one place and amplify the sense of doom. Imagine it as a kind of purgatory where players must survive day after day among all the monsters of the universe. These are the consequences they face. They must overcome all the demons to gain freedom, making the joy of victory even sweeter.The cohesive visual language is maintained through the color palette and character style—black, ominous silhouettes draped in blood-red fabrics, and gold, that has always evoked base emotions in people, such as greed and envy. The plebeians are the exception—they are faceless silhouettes for whom gold is a punishment.
