A downloadable game for Windows and Linux



Demo page!

Welcome to Mican! Come explore the beautiful sights and sounds of Spiny Island, and visit the first three levels of our newly discovered cave system! 

UPDATE:

The newest version uploaded 12/8/2023 contains a huge number of changes and fixes, including the new "Monster Lore" skill which introduces the "Monster Buddy" system. Using Monster Lore abilities will let you "capture" monsters, add them to your list of buddies whom you can visit in the Monster Glade, and then unleash them in battle with higher level Monster Lore abilities!

To get started with Monster Catching, input the cheat code CATCHEMALL at the cheat vendor, "Mister Sweets" in town, for a large amount of Monster Food and Treats. 

Linux demo also updated as of 12/11/2023!

The locals are warm and friendly!

Monsters of Mican is a party-based first person turn-based dungeon crawler WRPG. Whew, that's a mouthful. Let's just call it an RPG.

Features include:

  • Hundreds of unique monsters
  • Dozens of unique monster traits that drastically change what monsters are capable of in battle
  • A highly robust character creator

  • Hundreds of abilities/spells
  • Dozens of passive skills, with brand new bonuses given for each increase in rank
  • Over 10 large, hand-crafted dungeons
  • Hand crafted NPCs with unique personalities and stories
  • Boss fights with unique mechanics

  • A whimsical yet compelling story of a world rocked by madness
  • Plenty of twists and turns


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.



Demo version includes:
  • Full character creator
  • Full town map, including all services and NPCs
  • First three dungeon maps, including two boss fights

Hi,
not sure if it is only me, but description pop-up is off the screen and not readable.
BTW, this is LINUX version, I am running.

Hey Gatts,


Thanks for reaching out to let me know. I haven't actually updated the Linux version in quite a while, I do think I fixed that issue in the PC version though. I will try and get a new Linux build up at some point soon; I have had no way to test it on a Linux machine and had been told it wouldn't even start correctly so I'm glad it at least worked for you.


Thanks again for letting me know!

Well, game is fully playable on Linux, no issues detected.
Can't wait for the updated Linux build :D
Good job!

I just now uploaded a massively updated Linux version. Please let me know if it works! I'll put up the actual full patch notes in a devlog shortly.

Great! Thank you.
Gonna try it out right away.

So far all works fine. Game is much richer on content.
Very minor quirk: during party creation, 2 extra skills do apply for all 4, and to avoid this, one must select them from 1st down to 4th, in exact order. Otherwise changes might apply to unwanted character (like changing 2nd skill to BOW for 2nd char will add bow to 3rd and 4th, overwriting their selection)

Other funky quirk: pressing F5 - quick save, leaves the viewing are like this (but it can be fixed by pressing ESC and then returning to game) https://postimg.cc/G9tN3fzS

Thank you for that information!
I'll be sure to look into the character creation issue, I think I may know what's causing that. The f5 issue is less clear, I did prevent that from happening on Windows builds but I'm not sure why it's not working for Linux. I'll have to do some research.

Thanks again!
