Mops & Mobs: A Sweeping Dungeon Novel

We’re currently developing Mops & Mobs, a visual novel in a dungeon crawler setting. You’re a regular guy or gal applying for the janitor job in a mismanaged dungeon, and along the way you meet and greet its various inhabitants like a sentient gelatinous cube or a bunch of giant rats.

The gameplay consists of exploring, talking and dungeon decorating, and more is coming. Overall we’re inspired by old-school dungeon crawlers, so the movement is constricted to a grid and 90° rotation. We have a slightly outdated demo on itch and Steam:

We will most likely update the demo soon-ish, but higher priority is getting the story of the full game together.

Mops & Mobs will be our first “bigger” game in Godot, after using Unity for over 12 years.

The demo of Mops & Mobs was finally updated on itch (and Steam too). It contains a new gameplay mechanic - the combat! We decided to implement a card game that represents fighting in the dungeon (and sometimes just cleaning a room).

The rules of the cards are based on an older jam project of ours (as it was kind of popular). We hope it adds a bit of variety to our dungeon crawler slash visual novel. Overall I’m happy how easily Godot lets me mix the 2D card game with the actual 3D game.

Everything is still WIP of course.
