Hello! I'm surprised I only just now got a notification for your question, I'm so sorry for the delay!

Since my initial post, I've been able to learn an awful lot more about TTRPG design, dark fantasy fiction and graphic design. (consider it a very productive hiatus...). I had a few playtest sessions that went quite well, validating the core concepts while finding ways to express them more clearly, as well as several pages of Mork Borg compatible monsters on deck -- Soulslike bosses included. You are correct, the goal is to have the game thematically match  Fromsoftware's "fading elegance," preferably with some recognizable terms and values on the character sheet. 

The current state of the project: I already had a somewhat detailed Mork Borg hack laid out and several character sheets, which I simply never got around to posting. I will revisit these with fresh eyes and see how to get the most with the least. My goal always was (and will be) to have a PoD zine just like Weird North, a Cairn hack I'm also fond of. 

Thanks to your interest, I'll push up my plans to get a WIP out sometime in the moderate-future within two months at the latest. It will depend on if my old work is up to my new standards. If that is unattainable, I may just post what there currently is after a quick touch-up.
