There was an era where the social network Facebook was a hotbed for small, experimental social games. Of those Facebook games, one with a cult following Miscrits is being revived by a small and dedicated community on Discord, and it has reached closed alpha testing. Most fascinating, the project has the support of Miscrits’ original creator Robert Nelson.
Game Rant had a brief conversation with members of the community supporting the Miscrits revival, including project lead GK. They gave a quick glimpse inside the community that supports the current alpha test of the Miscrits revival.

When we think of creature collector games Pokemon always comes to mind but there are lots of great open-world creature collectors that aren’t Pokemon.
Bringing Back Classic Miscrits
Q: Can you introduce yourself?
GK: My name is Fake GK. Together with Minato, we are working on a new version of Miscrits, and this time we will make it much better and more optimized. It will also be more similar to the original Miscrits in small details.
Q: What makes Miscrits so special to you?
GK: As a child, I loved Miscrits very much. My older brother showed them to me and we played together. Then, one day, I tried to log into my favorite game, but I couldn’t. From that moment on, I wanted to try to restore Miscrits. I defend that Miscrits is a unique game into which they put a lot of work. These locations look beautiful. Lots of beautiful animations. I haven’t seen such a cool game since Miscrits closed.
Q: How long have you been working on the revival?
GK: About 10 months have passed since the revival of the currently available version. Before that, I also made an offline version. Our team has one most important plan–to make the game much better by making many important and necessary changes. The biggest difficulty is probably the time that will need to be invested to revive this project.
Q: How does Miscrits compare to other creature collectors?
GK:Miscrits differs from other such games in that Miscrits has a lot of locations and characters. This is a huge job for artists since it is very difficult to draw even one Miscrit. After adding all the content from the original, there will probably be a continuation of the story, new locations, and Miscrits. There are many things to be done before the new version is released, but this version will be much better!
Q: Anything you’d like to add?
GK: I want to add that Miscrits is a legendary game. Since the time it was on Facebook, it took a lot of effort and resources from the developers to create it.
