Game description
NOTE: This game only works on 1920x1080!!! If your screen is bigger than that, we really recommend lowering your resolution to that as half the stuff doesn't load on other resolutions.

It's time for Dr. Frankenstein's next project, named Trocity, but first he'll need raw materials! Sneak through a town of villagers with Igor, discovering their dark secrets in the process to find out where they hide their bodies, or the parts, that is, to take them back to the Castle of Dr. Frankenstein! Build your own monster from over 25 unique parts to choose from, and then rampage on the village with a secret! Will you defeat your foes or run out of power? Find out what happens in 4 endings and 2 secret endings!

Note: Linux build is partly tested. EDIT: We uploaded a Linux version with updated permissions after the deadline, it is identical to the other Linux version uploaded, except that it is easier for people on Linux to run as the permissions have been fixed. If this is against the rules I can remove it.

Note while it is possible to continue the game after a run, it is recommended to quit all the way out as some stuff seems to lock in confusing ways, so if you are chasing multiple runs thanks! but also we really recommend quitting and reentering.

Theme interpretation
There are four layers. The first is that as Igor you must sneak around the map not being caught by the villagers trying to fulfill your secret mission. Next as you explore the village you find the villagers are hiding small secrets and one big one and by uncovering these you can more easily find the parts for your monster. Finally, many of the body parts have secret powers/abilities based on their fictional appearance. Further, there are two secret endings that can be obtained through less than obvious means.

Really great sense of humour (it was a lot of fun finding out which reference I'd get next)! The voice acting was a really nice touch  as well! :D The rampage segment at the end was a lot of fun, and I like the collectable aspect with the possibility of going through and collecting all of the available Frankenstein parts. I did almost get stuck behind a table at one point (I was in the building that has the Ghostface mask in it IIRC), but I managed to get myself unstuck with a bit of wiggling XD I also liked that the game saves what you've collected so far if you die, which I did once, so was happy that I was able to keep my progress :) The graphic style has a really nice charm to it. Great job!

Thank we had a bunch of fun in making it, glad you enjoyed! Funny enough the saving body parts is totally accidental, we didn't have time to really debug restart states and a bunch of objects persisted in ways we didn't really expect. I think it would be nice if it carried over but if you complete the game and restart it locks in some weird ways, I think dying and restarting did end up working as you noticed.

This game was a delight. Very charming visuals and audio (especially the voice acting). Great macabre sense of humour. 100% the sort of thing that I'll be coming back to later to try and get all the endings.

--- SPOILERS BELOW ---

The moment that the rampage started at the end was one of my favourite moments from the jam. Such an awesome surprise to get to rip and tear through the town that I was already familiar with. I did the whole thing with a huge smile on my face. 

All in all, a super impressive entry that clearly has a lot of love poored into it. Great job devs!

Funny idea. Most of villagers is not as normal as they like.
