ONLY ONE WEEK REMAINS UNTIL THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOROSE LAUNCHES! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! ...oh and also, meet Angelique! #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #indiehorrorgame #comingsoon

2 weeks remain... (At one week, we'll drop a new lore card) #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #handdrawn #indiehorrorgame #gamedev #comingsoon

Daily dose of Morose! Not long at all until launch! #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #dreamlike #abstract #horrorgame #handdrawn #comingsoon

One moment he's here, the next he's gone... #theislandofdoctormorse #screenshots #indiehorrorgame #comingsoon #handdrawn #adventuregame

Have now played The Island of Doctor Morose using a controller. That was pretty neat. Please do not play this with a controller (it makes the game way harder) but you can do it if you really want to. We're trying out a few layouts to see what works atm.

Got actually scared while testing today. That's a good sign....I think...

In just 3 weeks, The Island of Doctor Morose will be released! We're all a bit nervous, but extremely excited for you all to jump into the game for yourselves! Not much time left! #indiehorrorgame #comingsoon #horror #handdrawn #theislandofdoctormorose

@calyps0art.bsky.social made an excellent video theorizing about the lore of #theislandofdoctormorse ! We can't confirm or deny the theories just yet, but if you're interested in theorycrafting about the game, this is for you! Fantastic effort!

Nessie would like to remind everyone that she's very excited to eat, er, meet you on May 15! #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #comingsoon #noAI

So like...what WAS the deal with this place, anyway? It's kinda unrelated to anything else on the island, huh? #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #spooky #handdrawn #secretarea #comingsoon

One thing about the art for the game being done is that now, we can draw the characters in whatever style we want! This is Howard, drawn in the game director's natural art style. You can see more fun art like this in the art book, but we figured we'd throw you all a bone early! #tiodmgame #howard

Uh oh....looks like Howard's asked Knowhere about something he shouldn't have... Knowhere seems nice enough about it, though! #indiehorrorgame #npc #spooky #handdrawn #comingsoon

This is what a very big problem looks like, in case you were wondering. #theislandofdoctormorose #indiegamedev #glitches #indiegamebugs #wewillfixiteventually

Oh hey! Look at that! No pink dot! #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #comingsoon #noAI #handdrawn #horror

I got creative and made Howard just before he fully reforms after he respawns from the save flower #theislandofdoctormorose

6 weeks to launch... #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #indiehorrorgame #handdrawn #countdowntolaunch #noAI

I have now seen (and more importantly, heard) the finished visuals and cutscenes for all 4 endings, fully scored. We ended up deciding on only two voices, a narrator, and a voice for Howard. I really think you'll enjoy these endings. Some of them are quite moving, I think.

Here's your first look at the digital art book! We've compiled all the art from across the development of the game to make this book happen, so you'll get to see tons and tons and tons of behind the scenes work! There's even new lore tidbits and insights from all of the devs! Look forward to it!

It's really fun to be at the point in development we're at, because I can just play through the entire game right now, but we haven't turned off the dev testing stuff yet, so some rooms will just have egregious spoilers infinitely repeating on loop, and multiple Nessies just sitting around

7 weeks from now, you'll be playing The Island of Doctor Morose. Animals, humans. All are tools for The Doctor's experiments. All are meat in the eyes of a madman. #indiehorrorgame #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #handdrawn #NoAI #indie #bodyhorror

In case you missed it on YouTube, we've confirmed that The Island of Doctor Morose will be natively compatible with Linux at launch! SteamDeck support and controller support are being worked on actively, so stay tuned for updates about that! (Mac users hang tight, we'll figure something out!)

Heard you guys wanted to see Howard smile...here's a doodle of what that might look like. What's the saying? Felt cute might delete later?

Animal activity survey results on Greatmaw Island 70% reduction from natural levels between July and November 95% reduction from natural levels in December 99% reduction from natural levels in January Current status: Native species are 99.5% eradicated. This has to stop.

Nine weeks to launch (give or take a few days, lol)! This week, we're revealing the official album art for The Soundtrack of Doctor Morose! Composed by Miles Clark, the OST will be available to stream on Spotify and you'll be able to purchase it on Steam! #tiodmgame #indiegameost #soundtrack

In ten weeks, you'll finally be able to explore Greatmaw Island to its fullest. Look forward to it!! #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #spooky #handdrawn

Just 11 weeks remain What did Phillip have to gain By leaving Howard on the shore Obsessed with what happened before Now he's got what Howard's not But does he resent his lot? #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #indiehorror

Duuuuude the soundtrack in this game of mine! Our composer knocked it out of the park with some of the later pieces, particularly Knowhere's theme, absolutely cannot wait for you guys to hear it when the full game is out! #theislandofdoctormorose #indiegame #ilovemusicman #indiehorror #spooky

12 Weeks to go! This time we're taking a look at the Fleshamarizer! Originally built to make unloading ships more efficient, it seems this mechanical menace has been given a new directive... #theislandofdoctormorose #indiegame #indiehorror

Little bonus content for you today! Someone pointed out we never put the TriceMire art card on the BlueSky, so here it is! TriceMire is a biological computation system, and can do all sorts of things! Lately, it seems his duties have become...less enjoyable. #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #horror

Out there in the deep swamp of Greatmaw Island, wires tangle with the roots of the old trees. They grow like metallic fungi, spreading fast and far... Doctor Morose didn't build them. So...where did they come from? #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #handdrawn #spooky

Do not know how this one evaded my gaze for so long, but I love it! Everytime Molten Men get mentioned in the art I end up wanting to spoil the lore behind them...oh well! Lips are sealed! Great work, I love the art!

Heads up! Fan art of the week just dropped on the YouTube channel! You guys make such incredible art!! (still working on getting caught up and seeing all of it from while I was gone!)

This isn't like an announcement or anything, was just messing with T shirt designs for fun and wanted to share the results lol. That said...if anybody actually wants Morose merch let me know. Maybe we can do a limited release to celebrate the launch or something.

As previously announced, The Island of Doctor Morose Demo has been de-activated as of today, and can no longer be played. We're sorry to take the demo away from you, but May 15 approaches, and a new demo is also on its way. #theislandofdoctormorose #update #indiegame

Fan art of the week just dropped on YouTube! Thanks as always for all your support, and of course, for your incredible artwork! I wish I could show you guys what we've been up to in-game...but I can't! Sorry! It will (hopefully) be worth the wait, though!

16 weeks to launch! Yes, that's a long ways away, but countdowns are fun! Spotlight of the week lands on Mr. Dile, who is somehow always in the exact worst spot for Howard! #theislandofdoctormorose #horror #indiehorrorgame

Just as a reminder since not everyone reads Steam updates! The Island of Doctor Morose Demo will be going away Feb. 1!! This is to make way for a new demo, which will be coming closer to launch, and which will better reflect the quality of the full game! #indiegame #demo #tiodmgame #indiehorrorgame

Congratulations Molten Men! Let's give it up for the champions of "being a spooky lil cretin" on Greatmaw Island!

Okay, this one makes me smile! Check out this very colorful art by @fubblydubbly.bsky.social !! There's so much character to it, and I love the way they drew Howard's hat!

I have been working for many hours fixing a problem with Knowhere the Cat. I just want you all to know...I fixed it. I cannot tell you what it was, I cannot tell you what I did to fix how he works, but I can tell you he works properly now. I'm taking a nap.

Forgot to post these two art cards here! Whoops! #theislandofdoctormorose #indiehorrorgame #spooky

The dark humor gets me every time. Now I can't stop picturing Mr. Dile running around showing everyone "his" new hat!

Howies...help me! @tiodmgame.bsky.social #theislandofdoctormorose

Nessie looks adorable in this! The shading really makes her fur look soft and inviting! (You probably don't want to get close enough to touch it, though!)

One of the most haunting pieces of fan art we've seen so far! Incredibly eerie and very well done!

Check out this incredibly spooky and atmospheric art of Howard! Howard's never liked the dark! Not since...well, maybe that's best left a secret for now! Knowhere might know, ask him! #theislandofdoctormorose #spooky #fanart

Oh, by the way, Phillip's last name is Maude. (subject to change if we decide on a better one, though)

Very fun concept showing what Howard might look like if he became one of the beast folk! One thing's for sure though, I wouldn't want to share the water with Mr. Dile! Better swim fast, Howard!
