type-two 3241b6f14d MORPQUEST: Record Store Day — a Beyond Morp graphical adaptation 
Fourteen EGA screens for MRPGI: nano banana backgrounds squeezed into the
engine's 160x168 double-wide-pixel frame, hand-pixelled item sprites, the
full RSD flag chain (poster frenzy -> yard door secret -> roof -> side door
-> clerk favours -> back-room seam -> payment -> notice -> BeckyWall
dispersal), the five-word true ending, and two scripted test paths (golden
win + gate locks), both green.

MORPQUEST: Record Store Day

A Sierra-AGI-style graphical adventure for the MRPGI engine, adapted from the Beyond Morp text adventure. Fourteen EGA screens, one day, five words, one white label.

Record Store Day. You're meant to be doing a quick cat-food run; Uncle's list is in the glovebox, and the cat can smell weakness. Something is wrong at the shop today. Morp itself can feel it.

Play it

From the MRPGI repo:

cargo run -p mrpgi --release -- --game /path/to/morpquest        # the GUI
mrpgi-headless --game /path/to/morpquest                          # JSONL repl
mrpgi-headless --serve 127.0.0.1:7777 --game /path/to/morpquest   # HTTP + frame.png

Arrows (or click) walk. Verbs: look take use talk drop inventory help, plus climb wipe play pay post give fix … — the parser is generous. The BeckyWall will not move for you. Documents move it. There is a true ending; the walls of the toilet know the shape of it.

What's here

  • game.json, rooms/room0..13.json — the whole game: art stamps, walkability, objects, flags, dialogue. Hand-authored, engine-validated, fully winnable (see tools/playtest.jsonl — the scripted golden path — and tools/gatetest.jsonl — proof the locks lock).
  • sprites/ — 14 backgrounds + 6 NPCs generated with nano banana (google/gemini-3.1-flash-image via OpenRouter), squeezed to the engine's 160×168 double-wide-pixel frame and EGA-quantized by the engine on load; tiny item sprites are hand-placed pixels (tools/gen_items.py).
  • tools/gen_art.py + tools/art_manifest.py — the whole art pipeline, re-runnable (deletes nothing, regenerates only what's missing; -f forces).
  • art/raw/ — original generations, kept for archaeology.
  • DESIGN.md — the map, the flag chains, the voice rules.

Provenance

Story, puzzles, characters, and most of the best lines are adapted from the Beyond Morp design corpus (RSD storyline). The tone bible rule that matters: Morp is not cruel; Morp is accurate.
