Tutorial
I ran out of time making this game for the jam - due to too much content :( Here are some helpful tips
- Click rooms to allow you to assign workers
- For Rituals you need to hold left click and trace the shape
- The game auto saves and progresses whilst you are away
- Skeletons are average, zombies are slower but carry more, ghouls are fast and carry less than zombies
- You can upgrade machines by clicking on them - its a little tedious for now

Necroworks
Necroworks is a dark automation and management game where you build a modular undead production network.
Start with a single struggling room and turn it into a synchronized necromantic machine:
- Process corpses into bones, flesh, blood, souls, and finally Dark Essence
- Balance worker types with different strengths and affinities
- Solve emergent bottlenecks instead of micromanaging every action
- Expand into specialized rooms and optimize resource flow between them
- Use rituals and upgrades to push your factory into exponential growth
If you like automation games, colony optimization, and satisfying throughput puzzles, Necroworks is built for you.

Title font made me do a double take... also why are we all yelling? lol
Hmm you see what you see. Font is Cinzel which is all upper case
Ritual is not casting. At least for me. Can't trace the rune.
Oh?! You need to hold left click, trace, then release the button. make sure to to start at the top / top left if in doubt.
Apologies for the problem, I know that system is not very polished yet
I tried that from all three corners. Maybe the reason is me playing in fullscreen.
Hmm, no I tested it full screen (works for me at least).
which rune is it, triangle, snake, butterfly or heart? I will go test it and fix.
Sorry for you inconvenience
It actually DID work this time. Probably I did something wrong when tried before.
Triangle rune, the first one.
Maybe there should be more instructions for the first time drawin the rune.
Yea totally agree! When I update it after the jam is finished it should be much more clear! Thanks for trying again
I'm a simple person, put "necro" in the game title, I'll at least click.. I totally forgot I was in this game jam rating for a second, and had a real "check out steam page" moment ..
whatever the game is, the thumbnail and title and all work reeeally well
Kind of you to say
