What this is

Street fights, compact scope, polished craft.

MVSZ is aimed at the content density of a classic arcade beat 'em up: short, replayable, and direct. The target is a focused one to two hour campaign, with the feel of a handcrafted indie action game rather than a giant production.

3D arcade brawling

A compact beat 'em up built around clear reads, heavy contact, crowd pressure, and tight arena-to-arena pacing.

Focused solo scope

Planned as a one to two hour game, closer to a concentrated arcade campaign than a sprawling action RPG.

European steampunk outbreak

Ivory details, polished brass, old-world stonework, and epidemic machinery frame the street fights.

Tone

Regal, not bloated. Dirty, not grim for its own sake.

The art direction leans into Polish and broader European craft: carved facades, enamel signage, brass medical machinery, ivory accents, gaslight, and formal ornament under outbreak pressure.

Possible itch.io prelude

A visual novel from street level.

Before the brawling begins, a small VN backstory could follow a commoner or side character as the virus first hits. It can show the city from below: rumors, shortages, quarantine orders, and the first night when ordinary people realize the old systems will not hold.

Follow the itch.io prelude

01 Market district

Small errands turn into conflicting street reports.

02 Quarantine bells

Officials move too late, and neighborhoods seal themselves.

03 First breach

The prelude hands off into the main game's first fight.

Playable prelude

Host the Godot VN directly on this site.

Drop the Godot Web export into /vn and this frame will load it from Netlify. Keep the export file names together; the generated HTML expects its matching JavaScript, WebAssembly, pack, and splash files beside it.
