Metamorph is a low-poly 3D horror game that blends body horror and a narrative about growing up in a body that very quickly becomes foreign to you with aspects of the visual novel genre. The game is envisioned as a slow-paced atmospheric game that aims to envoke a growing sense of discomfort in an environment that slowly progresses and evolves alongside the player. Though the game is story-driven, as a team we’ve attempted to mix the story with interesting and engaging gameplay features and a unique visual style that mixes both traditional 2D and 3D graphics with mixed media and creative technical implementation. You play as a high school girl who wakes up one day and realizes she is slowly but surely turning into a twisted, bizarre cockroach monster. With this realization, she sets out to score a date with her crush before her grotesque transformation is complete. Will she succeed… Or will the pressures of high school and being stuck in a horrifying lovecraftian nightmare be too much? Play through an engaging story about teenage woes, explore a detailed 3D environment, experience a variety of minigames and prove that appearances aren’t anything, even when said appearances are a bit unconventional.
Metamorph was awarded Best Storytelling at the Gotland Game Conference 2024.
