Redefining engagement, promoting relaxation
Corvallis, Oregon: Morphe is an ambient, music-making game set on peaceful, beautiful mountaintops, featuring sharp, minimalist low-poly graphics and the ability to create thousands of possible "songs". In an industry wrought with UI notifications, hyperstimulation, and 'addictiveness', morphe brings players to those reflective moments in gaming that are often difficult to find.
Occupying a realm between 'game' and 'experience', it gives players the agency to achieve peace, if only for a few minutes each day. The original free demo (2016) was met with enthusiasm from outlets like PC Gamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, and Nerdist. This fully revamped release expands on the demo's concept while also improving all aspects of gameplay, art, and music, making "the epitome of a relaxing game" even more beautiful (Nerdist).
- Rock Paper Shotgun calls the full release "gorgeous", and "the perfect place to unwind in right now." Similar praise has been received internationally from outlets like ipon.hu and brÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ',Ã,Ã,¼ckentroll.de.
- Explore gorgeous low-poly environments, activating 200+ unique bits of music at mysterious obelisks, to create your own ambient music. Find cassette tapes with field recordings, or discover environmental objects to add to your symphony of relaxation.
- Record the music you make directly to your computer for repeated listening on your smartphone or in your car, or for the more musically inclined, add your own custom audio to the game and make something even more unique.
Add a few extra years onto your life, take a deep breath, and create your own beautiful music on Steam or itch.io - your mind will thank you for it.
