About Messorem
A compelling narrative about death
You play Messorem, a graveyard reaper. Your job is simple, guide the souls of the dead to eternal rest. After many years of the same job, Messorem starts to wonder if there is more to their life. Messorem stops doing their job and the souls no longer have someone to guide them to rest.
One day a woman named Mallory arrives at the cemetary with her deceased son. In exchange for putting her son's soul to rest Messorem can finally get eternal rest themselves. To put the son to rest however, Messorem must gather his family for the funeral. The only problem is, the family is spread apart and the roads are filled with the frenzied spirits Messorem have neglected. To gather the family, Messorem must travel across the land and put all souls to rest.
Magical combat arenas!
Once combat is initiated, an arena is created from the element used to initiate the fight. Each arena has its own effects that can both affect the player and the enemy!
Messorem's combat utilizes both melee combat and a ranged magic system. Each spell has their own effect and based on a rock, paper, scissors system connected to their own element. Wield nature's magic and choose the correct spell to put the frienzied souls to rest!
Puzzles!To get an audience with some of the family members, you must complete a puzzle related to their personality. So get your dance shoes on and get ready to impress!Music by SHINE!The soon-to-be music phenomenon SHINE provides the music with the «Sounds From The Afterlife - Concept Album For Messorem». The norwegian 8-piece delivers an astounding 65+ minutes of live orchestrated music that paints the world of the game with a magical assortment of sounds, genre-variety and instrumentation.SHINE brings the action and drama to new levels with the two vocal-tracks «The Final Hour» and «Shimmer». From blistering speed-metal to folky J-pop undertones, the band delivers audible spectacle like no first-time Indie game has ever seen (or in this case heard) before.

Super fun and had a great soundtrack! Pretty difficult too.1 found this helpful
A nice little game with decent combat and a sweet is slightly short story. Most impressive in terms of visuals are the environments though they are only decorative in nature. There are a couple of distinct themes to the environments and all of them are quite pleasing to look at. The font used for the text is also quite pretty. As a somewhat bigger focus the music is quite good, particularly the final boss and credits songs stand out. The combat is very reaction-time oriented and keeps you on your feet as you have to evade enemies while simultaneously getting close enough to reach them with your attacks. The element system adds some more flavour to it as well with its small addition of having to manage which type of attack you use. Each element changing the arena depending on the first attack that initiates combat is also interesting. There is some interesting worldbuilding in how souls work, how they linger unless put to rest by a designated reaper. Although the story is kept quite short it is a pleasant one bringing a family back together and settling old grudges. All in all this is a fine game to pass around an hour of time with nice visuals, engaging combat and a pleasant story.1 found this helpful
Neat, short lil game. Some mechanics (like how to regain mana) should have been explained, but were easy enough to figure out on my own. The only real issue was that hitboxes are jank as hell, and it can be hard to tell when something is going to attack. Other then that, good game.1 found this helpful
