About Morok Karte društvene deduktivne igre

Morok je nova vizuelna priča čuvene deduktivne igre Vukodlak. Igrači mogu isprobati ulogu Inkvizicije ili Kužnog doktora, ili mogu postati opsednuti japanskim demonima. Stil karata inspirisan je tajanstvenim Tarotom i sadrži ezoteričke i okultne simbole. Izrađen je u ekspresionističkom maniru koristeći 3D grafiku, klasične umetničke materijale i stilizaciju drevnih murala i gravura. Kako bi se održao ezoterični stil, veličina karata odabrana je da bude jednaka veličini Tarot karata. Igra je izrađena od kartona sa štampom u punim bojama, UV lakom i folijom, što je čini divnim poklonom.

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.
