Welcome to Mican! Explore hand crafted dungeons, fight or befriend tons of zany monsters, and discover the ancient truth behind the origin of monsters!

Monsters of Mican is a first person, party based dungeon crawler RPG, often known as a Blobber. The game was heavily inspired by classic PC RPGs such as Might and Magic and Wizardry, with plenty of modern flair and heaps of QOL features.

  • Thrilling boss battles
  • A monster arena where you can watch any monsters you choose duke it out!
  • Randomly generated loot (and unique named artifacts) with tons of different enchantments and abilities

  • 6 post-game challenge dungeons with specific themed rules and conditions
  • Monster Rush Challenge: fight every monster in the game, sequentially.
  • Boss Rush Challenge: fight every boss in the game... ALL AT ONCE!
  • An original soundtrack featuring over 20 unique compositions made in the style of classic 90s CRPGs

  • An in-game cheat vendor that will trade you powerful wands for various cheat codes
  • Full gamepad controls

The game takes place on Mican, a world turned upside down long ago by an event called "The Amalgam Anomaly" which birthed hundreds if not thousands of different types of monsters, creatures, half-breed amalgams and other nightmares into the world. The game has you venturing into a mountain at the heart of Spiny Island to discover what the monsters in the caves are up to... and discovering other mysterious secrets about the world in the process.

The Vitreous Expansion introduces three huge new dungeons:

Spinewood Forest- home to the Fairy Queen Bryxialla, this dungeon teems with traps and creatures that want nothing more than to put you in the ground to fertilize the soil. Beware the many illusions and foggy spots in the forest, lest you lose your way...

The Pipeline- brave the stench as you trudge through toxic muck to receive the unique bounty offered by the denizens of the sewer. Prepare to go for a swim as you fight the mighty Dungen Master and proceed to Lord Muffin's lair...

The Butlery- a magically interconnected space meant for storing and processing food served to all inns throughout the world who belong to the Tavern Association. The inner workings of the Butlery though are not for the faint of heart, as you must brave four unique and discrete zones before gaining access to the most prized innkeeper's items within the Vault. 

The Vitreous Expansion introduces many, many other changes including 80+ new monsters, the above-mentioned Monster Arena, a brand new Micapedia, which allows you to view fully animated 3D models of monsters you've defeated (and activate their animations!), and a whole host of other changes and improvements! Adventuring in Mican has never been better!

Yes! I have not had the time to update the itch page, I apologize, but the game version itself has been updated to match the steam version.

awesome, thanks

Congrats on the release Skittzo! Am trying to remember, are you the fellow I used to chat to on FB who made a cool 3D Quest for Glory fan game called 'Heroism - The Art of De-Fence' that I tributed on my QFG fan page at Blake's Sanctum. I remember how we used to talk yeeeears ago about you switching over to a Might & Magic style game on an island and you'd send me demos to test out that looked pretty cool. If so it's great to see the end of that long journey!

Thanks! I actually released this on Steam a month ago, just now catching up with Itch. This is kinda the end result of that idea, yeah. Hopefully I'll be able to work out a sequel too.
