Morphosis
Morphosis is a side-scrolling platformer themed around alchemical experiments causing strange changes to the main character’s body. These changes allow them to progress throughout the levels as they escape upwards out of an underground dungeon. Along the way the player discovers journal entries of the Alchemists who performed the experiments, discovering hints to the true nature of the dungeon and the character who is trapped there.

i really enjoy the music. the feeling of the character feels really ghoulish! very unique and fun.
Thank you, im in love with the music too haha. Appreciate you for playing!
I love how the music builds! I could use more checkpoints but I get the sparsity of them is likely a deliberate design choice. Is it worth pushing through to later parts?
Thanks for checking it out, and yes I love how the music plays out too. We wanted to balance the fact that traps do not instantly kill you with more sparsely laid out check points, which will lean into the additional mechanics we would implement on a full version.
And yes! there is an ending to the demo with credits, ending card, and a short story to read that builds on the hints you gathered during the game. Not to mention each room has journal entries to discover and new mechanics to introduce (wall jumping, slide tunnels, slippery surfaces)
