Adventures of Muriceps ( or just Muriceps) is a quirky action-adventure roguelike / dungeon crawler about eradicating the spread of the plague, with the pun that the player is a cat, and the whole style is similar to medieval manuscripts with weird animals.

Story: Plague is ravaging central Europe. You are Muriceps, and only you can stop it.

Theme is represented twice in our game - once in overall topic of the game, which is medieval plague, but also gameplay mechanic when rats reproduce when they are alive.
Player has to go through various levels and kill all rats - and survive!
There are 3 different difficulties to allow both casual and hardcore players, and end screen statistics, which in future can support speed runs, leaderboards, steam achievements.
To motivate players to move faster, rats are spreading - with audible hints and always just on the player screen, so it’s not confusing what is happening. Player is also introduced to this via text narration.
Overall game graphics feature medieval times with plague-ridden society, including villagers who do not believe rats are really the cause of the plague, even as they are dying to it.
This is all introduced and reminded through narration, and the borders of the map are looking like edges of the book - hinting that the player is indeed in a storybook.
Game also has realistic cat sounds :D
