Maw Manor
A downloadable pumpkin kicking sim for Windows
Content warning: vore, implied digestion with reformation
Nel got invited to a Halloween party with his former college buddies! But when Nel arrives, the locale seems suspect. What's going on? Could this be the work of... VORE??
A silly dungeon crawler about not getting eaten. You can kick pumpkins! There's weird vore monsters! And also a bunch of lovable big-bellied kobolds.
I wanted to get more done, including some additional game mechanics, but I kinda planned out a month's work for a three-week jam. Oops!
Additional art by RabbitStewGames!
Made for Tummy Jam October 2024!

really fun game, also found a funny glitch where if a Kobalt grabs you and while a frog tounge is touching you both at the same time then the Kobalt will get swallowed but will no swallow the player despite being in the frogs gut. If you ever come back to this game that could be an interaction you add lol.
also was wondering if this was inspired by Ghosts and Japes at all?
Uh oh, I'm assuming that's a softlock? (Guess it's a good thing I included that Respawn menu option)
This may have been a bit inspired by Ghosts and Japes... but just a bit
nah it just gave me the slandered game over screen and let me respawn dw
I love the respawn animation in 1.2.0!!
It wouldn't be a bad idea to add a carnivorous plant over there or a struggle-to-escape mechanics... 👀
Nice game tho, I love it!
What's the name of that song you used in the outro?
It's "The Penis (Eek)"!
What a name lol
literally the version 1.1 once i dowload and i extract the files, it crashed when i open the game
Do you have an error or crash log when you try to run the game?
no literally it just crashed with a black screen and for some reason i hear the game sometimes
That sounds more like a black screen than a crash. Have you tried updating your graphics drivers? What happens if you force the Vulkan renderer using the following commandline arguments:
ok i did and like basically it crashes with the black screen and yes i have the graphics drivers update and i didd the comand
Any possible thoughts of mobile version 😝
No plans right now but I'll consider it!
This game is super fun, and the style is REALLY nice! I'm really excited to see what you're gonna add to it~
Personally, really hoping for some digestion/absorption animations~
Not only you :D and more different enemy types
Mhmmm
great game. Would love to see more.
For this being from a jam this is some really good stuff! I think you've got alot of potential here.
Weather you continue updating this or start on a new vore game, please do not get discouraged, i would pay for a fully realised game like this
I was surprised you added an even harder difficulty in 1.10. Still managed to do a full gold run on it though. :P
I'll just have to make that difficulty harder then! :3
Nooo!
This game has a lot of potential! I would love to see new enemies and maybe more levels. Personal preference of mine, but it'd be pretty nice to see the enemies animated of them digesting Nel as well goes for others who get vored.
This is one thing on a long list of things I would have liked to implement but just didn't have time for during the jam. I also wanted to add struggle animations (right now it just shakes the sprite a bit, though the shakes get weaker as the prey gets uhh processed)
can I get a link to the (Tummy Jam October 2024!)
I looked all over and cant find it
Same
There isn't really an "official site" for it but I linked to the other entries here: https://itch.io/post/11287418
Just a recommendation if you add more preds maybe it could be like a werewolf? but really anything is great or just more preds that can eat each other
Thank GOD the difficulty change option, I was getting wayyyy to fed up (pun unintended lol) with how many times I kept getting stuck on things and caught
I tried to download “LATEST VERSION - Maw Manor 1.1.0” but could not because a virus was detected.
(I use Edge as my browser.)
However, I did successfully download “OLD - Maw Manor 1.0.2”.
Weird! I turned off the filesize optimizations on the EXE specifically because antivirus engines don't like compressed EXEs. I also built the ZIP using Windows instead of 7-Zip.
I see this is an uphill battle haha
Which antivirus are you using?
I don't have any anti-virus software myself, so it should be standard Windows Defender.
I am currently in the process of getting this cleared as a false positive. In the meantime, are your virus definitions up to date?
I don't know...but I just restarted my computer and tried downloading again and was able to download!
Sorry for the trouble.
I love the Kobalds so much i wanna feed myself to them all the time x3
Maybe I'm Just Bad, Maybe RNGesus Hates Me BUT WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT OH MY GOD, I GET A LITTLE CHALLENGE BUT OH MY GOD IVE BEEN HERE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF AND I STILL CANT WIN
very good game though the style and content are lovely
BUT I JUST WANT TO WIN MAN
I have black screen, but can hear sounds like wind.
Weird. Which OS and drivers? Does it fix itself if you resize the window? You can try toggling full-screen with Alt + Enter and see if that does anything.
OS Windows 10 Home. What drivers do you need? Please, say very detailed where I need so look to give you information that you looking for.
Resize of the window change nothing.
Alt + Enter change nothing. It's still black screen, but in window mode.
Mainly interested in the GPU and GPU driver version. You can get the driver information through AMD/nVidia's settings apps. Also good to know if you're using any tweak tools. Resetting drivers settings to default might help.
The game defaults to OpenGL rendering but you can force Vulkan from the commandline with:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
Driver version 537.58
No tweak tools
Your nVidia driver is a year out of date. The latest version is currently 566.03. I'd suggest installing updated drivers, and possibly checking the "clean installation" box (but keep in mind that this will reset any driver settings you've changed).
If you're looking for a good, no-bloat way to install the drivers, I recommend NVCleanInstall: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/techpowerup-nvcleanstall/
Does forcing the Vulkan renderer work for you? May also try changing the "OpenGL/Vulkan presentation method" in the nVidia driver settings.
Does anything different happen in the ending if you Gold every room? EDIT: Just did it, from what I can tell, no difference to the ending.
Nothing special! It's just meant to be a fun challenge. Sorry, I should have been upfront about that.
No biggie. It's not like it wasn't fun to do.
Antivirus detected a Trojan Horse within the zip file -_-
Dang. Which antivirus, and which detection? It could be getting confused because I'm using a custom build of Godot Engine with a few issues patched. Source code available on request.
If updating your definitions doesn't fix the issue, we could see about submitting it to the antivirus vendor as a false positive.
For what it's worth, my Norton 360 didn't raise any flags with the game's files.
I really wanna like this game but some of the rooms seem impossible to complete the pumpkin challenge on
Unless you can get the frogs to eat the dragons but I haven't been able to
Sorry to hear about your frustration! Every prefab room should allow you to kick every Jack o' Lantern, but maybe I made them a bit too tricky. You can trick the frogs into eating the kobolds but it's easier said than done.
I'm gonna release a gameplay/content update shortly that will add selectable difficulty. It'll tune a number of things like enemy aggressiveness and make the penalty for getting eaten less harsh on the lower difficulties.
It took so many tries but I was able to do it ;w; the trick is to get the kobold between Nel and the frog while creating distance when u trigger the tongue but again, the window is small and tricky (LET IT BE KNOWN THIS IS PRE-UPDATE)
learning it was possible convinced me to keep trying, I was getting frustrated thinking some kind of oversight made it impossible. Very cool game, I really like horror elements in vore games, the kobold chases feel very stressful and the frogs can be near startling. Would love to see more owo
I really love the art style of this game, it's super cute. I look forward to seeing more floors and enemies in the future.
What is Tummy Jam?
RabbitStewGames made a vore game jam! You can check out the other entries here:

https://swamp-scale-games.itch.io/unseen-tummy-jam
https://rabbitstewgames.itch.io/pixel-prey-reformed
A fun game you got there, I especially enjoyed the art style. I'd love to see more floors and gameplay options, such as the ability to disable reformation or to pick up & throw pumpkins at enemies.
Disabling reformation won't be an option because I have friends who really need reformation when it comes to digestion. But I'd definitely like to add more content in the future! Next year I'll probably make a new and improved version of this game.
I meant it as a difficulty setting (aka permadeath).
Looking forward to it either way!
That's actually really appreciated. From the sounds of it, you like/don't mind permavore, but you're still considering us weaklings who absolutely hate the idea of permavore. (Besides, reformation lets you have a meal again and again!) So thank you!
I'm personally kinda iffy on permavore myself. I generally prefer it being restricted to background characters and such. In most cases I'd rather have reformation.
This actually has such high quality that it would be amazing to see more. Keep up the amazing work, whatever you end up working it! :)P
Very nice game and has potential !
