Morels: The Hunt

This game really appealed to me because it essentially covers 2 IRL hobbies of mine: wildlife photography and foraging. The environments are beautiful and fun to walk through, especially the Redwood forest, it's just spectacular. If the idea of just chilling, walking around beautiful scenery, looking for mushrooms to pick up or wild animals to snap pictures of (and a few more interesting things to discover) while listening to relaxing music (I especially like the "Fantasy" selection), then you should already know this is for you. Highly recommended.

I saw this recommended on reddit as a chill game to play after work and as it was on sale I picked it up, I have definitely gotten my money's worth and I've only been to two regions so far and haven't found any of the golden morels! I like that the starter location helps you attune to spotting the Morels and the progressive locations challenge you in different ways. The animals are really fun to spot and sometimes I like to focus on that instead of mushroom hunting, I am shocked how satisfying it is to find a new species. At first I didn't like the lighting at midday but I got used to it and after unlocking the headlamp it is no issue at all so I recommend aiming for that first! Hunting at night is a different experience too which I really enjoy doing. I started on normal mode but the ticks and poison ivy etc took the fun out of it for me so I exclusively play on easy/chill mode. I really like the included music, there is a good selection and it isn't too repetitive. I recommend with playing sound on as it makes finding animals much easier, though the music part is toggle-able which is good. I have had two crashes in my 5 hours of playing, though I lost no progress at a…

A relaxing photography game where you look for morel mushrooms. Makes me want to take a hike in the woods.

This is absolutely my favourite chill out game. It is filled with beautiful environments, relaxing mushroom hunts, and fun photographic animal encounters. You can play in a completely relaxed manner, collecting what you come across; set goals for yourself in terms of numbers per playing session; or focus on the game's tasks and achievements if you are a completionist. I also want to add how grateful I am that a 7 year old game is still fully and actively supported by the devs, despite the release of two more titles in the series. This team, and this game, are the best <3

A lovely little game- very relaxing, beautiful environments, and a bunch of secrets to discover throughout!
