About Morok Sociale Deduktionsspilkort

Morok er en ny visuel fortolkning af det berømte deduktionsspil Werewolf. Spillere kan prøve rollen som Inkvisitionen eller Pestdoktoren, eller kan blive besat af de japanske dæmoner. Kortenes stil er inspireret af mystisk Tarot og indeholder esoteriske og okkulte symboler. Det er lavet i en ekspressionistisk stil ved hjælp af 3D-grafik, klassiske kunstmaterialer og stilisering af antikke vægmalerier og gravurer. For at bevare den esoteriske stil blev kortenes størrelse valgt til at matche Tarot-størrelsen. Spillet er lavet af karton med fuldfarvetryk, UV-lak og folie, så det kan være en vidunderlig gave.

Production Technology
Cards creation included 3D graphics for characters. Everything else was made in mixed technique. Fountain pens, gold leaf, pencils, and pastel were used. At first, all the elements were put on paper, then scanned, and customized in Photoshop. It allowed to create real, authentic images. Some elements were created in graphic editors at once.
Design Challenge
One-third of all the time spent working on the project took the analysis of the historical data. It was difficult to find historical prototypes of the characters in reliance on the role in the game. At first, historical characters were found according to their social roles then most bright images were chosen. Also, it was challenging to bring characters from different countries and epochs to one visual concept.
Research
Historical data were analyzed during the creation of this work. The research was aimed at collecting information about future characters. The research methods used: Content analysis of the documents (“Archaic myths of the East and the West”, “History of the ancient world” in three volumes, “Encyclopedia of classical mythology”, and the Internet). The research contributed to the creation of a new visual style of the old game and as a result to engagement of new players.
Inspiration
The idea to create a new story and visual image was inspired by the book The Doomed City by the Strugatsky brothers. The novel is set in a city where people from different epochs and of different social ranks were gathered for a mysterious experiment. Players can try the role of the Holy Inquisition or the Plague Doctor from Medieval times, or they can become possessed by the demons of Japanese mythology. Cards style is inspired by esoteric and mysterious Tarot cards transferring these characteristics to the game. Esoterism and mystery are seen in occult symbols on the cards.
Project Duration
The project started in June 2020 and finished in December 2020 in Kiev, Ukraine
Operation Flow
The game models a conflict between two groups. At the start of the game, each player takes a card with a certain role. The game consists of two phases: night and day. At night players perform their superpowers if they have any. During the day, players discuss each other identities and vote to eliminate a player. The game continues until the citizens eliminate the inquisition or the inquisition kills all the citizens.
