edit: this game still rules if you need to chill and are also not a big baby this is really something. i feel like this is more like i wanted out of Proteus but never got - still tons of music, but lots of little interactables everywhere with which to fiddle until you get the environment Perfect. you will probably accidentally click through a sound you thought was great and can't find it again, but it's okay, there's always more. a fun thing: try to retrace your steps. You can click the sun to stop all the music (the sun gets lower in the sky for each pedestal you activate making it easier to find), but when it's time to move on, try figuring out the order you turned the pedestals on, deconstructing the tune until you're back to the first sound you chose. https://youtu.be/xSeKBHrylc0

It's 3 neat vignettes with cool audioscapes you can play around with. Nothing hugely interactive, just, nice places to be. You'll have seen most everything in 15 minutes, which is about how long a cup of coffee lasts, which is about what this costs. So there ya go! It's nice.

I enjoy just activating sound pedestals then switching between found cassette tapes while spacing out and watching the screen saver activate. That's it, that's the game, and it's really very pleasant. It's nice to start it up then putter about with other chores once the music gets going.

Super chill. I have enjoyed taking the ambience in one bite at a time, leaving new things to explore and surprise me.

Nice relaxing game. Chill music and nice visuals

This game is fascinating as a concept. Don't get me wrong, it could use some more polish, some more optimization, and some more content (a rural and urban map would be interesting), as well as maybe an update making the traversal of the hot map a bit easier, but Morphe nails the atmosphere and mood, and, as mentioned before, its concept is fascinating. If you are looking for a relaxing experience, this game is worth your time. It's short (as seen by my playtime), it's sweet, and I can imagine playing this game off and on again for months. However, since it's an interactive experience more than it is a full blown game in the traditional sense, it's also an acquired taste, so if you get bored by games with simple mechanics and little structure, this game won't be for you. Honestly I’d recommend watching a letsplay or finding a demo before you decide to purchase. I’d give this a 6/10 and a “that was cool”, and will probably return to the game in future and show it off to friends.
