Samara dating simulator.Also, I got the toxic relationship ending, what a surprise /s. If you are that kind of person who loves asian ghosts and horror movies such as The Grudge and The Ring this game would be perfect for you. It's really nice that on the first hand is a visual novel with characters that doesn't speak and on the second hand that you got decisions to make.The game has 6 endings and so far I only did 3. One of them was really sick and my subs was freaked out of it. So it was worth it for me.. Morph Girl is a FMV game inspired by Japanese horror movies.First off, while there are some genuinely emotional and scary moments, especially during the beginning of the game, the payoff is rather underwhelming, though. With about one hour it's rather short and there's not that much happening at all. I appreciate the general idea and direction of the title, but in the end it's over before it has really started. It also fails to explain why the ghost... thing looks like out of the next Ring movie. I get it, for a game it makes sense to offer familiar tropes, but since there's no indication or reference to anything Japanese at all story-wise, it just feels out of place and some unique creature design could have helped to make the title more memorable.Contrary to many other FMV games, Morph Girl doesn't have this typical cringeworthy so-bad-it's-good feeling, bad acting, out-of-place-music and messy controls. In fact, it even plays more like a visual novel. The acting is alright and the minimal audio and visual design actually works pretty well. There are even multiple endings, depending on some of your (few) choices, so there's some replayability.I'd been lying when saying I didn't enjoy it overall, but it just felt like there should have been more, especially towards the end, where everything feels a bit rushed.Why do I recommend it? Because I like FMV games and appreciate the effort when someone decides to still make one. Besides, there aren't any glaring flaws, like gamebreaking bugs etc. and what little there is actually works pretty well.And most importantly: Look at the price tag! It's really cheap! The dev(s?) seemed to be very much aware of their product's value and four bucks is a really fair pricetag for this title. I actually look forward should they decide to make another FMV game in the future.Give it a try if you're a huge FVM / Visual Novel fan or if it's on sale, but expect that you probably won't be remembering too much about it after finishing it in about one hour.. Maybe I am unfamiliar with this type of genre but overall the game felt very underwhelming as someone without experience in such games. The acting felt awkward at times which hindered the overall immersion and made it less scary than it should have been. Decisions made also did not feel like they mattered as much at some points, and it felt quite repetitive after a few cycles of choices.. Like always FMV games are a hit and miss and this was a miss in my opinon. The pacing is slow, the story is a bit banal and it seems like you're playing a bad interactive student film. The obvious piggybacking on Jhorror tropes was completly unoriginal and trite which ironically all student films tend to be. It claims to be creepy and i've read other reviews saying they were scared and I was genuinely curious if we had played the same game at all. Literally all you see is a "ring ghost" and thats it...there is nothing else. I know its supposed to "represent" something else but I go back to my previous statment that this is a pretentious student film.Also there are two full length movies in the game which pads out the time. The problem is that the movies were just as bad as the game. Bad movies in a bad FMV game, it was like staring into infinity. Fun Fact the movies were featured on episodes of MST3K which made me think of watching tthose episodes. I ended up trying to synch up MSTK3k with the movies in the game. The Leech movie was on an episode when Joel was on the SOL and the Brain that wouldn't die was the first episode when Mike was the main character of MST3K. A lot of people think Mike was better than Joel but after watching both episodes of MST3k i can say Joel has a dryer wit than Mike so they really can't be compared on who was better. Notice how off track I got on my review? well thats what you'll end up doing in this game. This is a game you play if you have something more important to do. Like do you have any work that needs to get done around the house...it brings out the wrong emotions when playing a game. For the price, wait for a sale, you'll lose interest in this game fast and wonder if you left the stove on.. As ever with my reviews, if you're only interested in the pros/cons, and whether or not you figure the game might be something you enjoy, search for the ~tildes!~Morph Girl; not a novel by K. A. Applegate, it is instead... Hmn.The Steam Game, Morph Girl....No, that's not quite right, either.Morph Girl is a throwback to a lot of things - FMV games, a certain kind of shareware that left you feeling a little unnerved even though it wasn't actually all that frightening, and the exploratory and experimental games of the late 80's and early 90's.What it is not, despite some flourishes and obvious influences, is 'J-horror', a term that (like so many) means increasingly different things, to increasingly large numbers of people; or in other words, very little. Those who know me know that a certain series about a certain very angry ghost were really important to me, growing up; wonkiness and all, they remain something I truly enjoy - and those novels and this game couldn't be further apart.So, what is Morph Girl, then? If I had to classify it, I'd call it a kaleidoscopic game. Like magic lantern toys of old, it is a very certain segment of a very specific point in the narrator's life.To even discuss the plot would rob some of the best parts of Morph Girl from the audience, and so I'm only going to discuss it in generalities. Our narrator, Elana, is struggling with an incredible burden - the death of her wife, and the upcoming anniversary of that death. How she reacts to it, events that unfold during the game...Well, they aren't exactly shocking. But there is a constant, low-level of horror and unrest just around the corner which is - in some ways! - even better than any outright scares.I love visual novels, and one of the things I struggle with explaining to people who grew up with them as a normal genre is that the very first few that were translated were of incredibly different genres, from porn to horror to teaching aide. And given that most translations were questionable, at best, you never knew what might come around the corner. To this day, PC-98 style graphics inspire a feeling of faint unease and excitement in my withered husk of a heart.... Morph Girl really isn't a VN, though. Sure, it's built in Tyrano, but like the FMV games of the 90s, it exists in it's own sphere. Which is good, I feel. If it were a VN, I'd have to dock it for being far too short; not in length, but in the amount of text present.As it stands, Morph Girl uses brevity well. The terse prose combined with the - genuinely! - artful cinematic angles make that uncertain feeling stand out well for most of the game.But is it any good, you may ask?... That's a more difficult question, so, as always, let's start with the cons.So let's go over the pros and cons, starting with the cons, as is customary for me.~Cons~* Individual endings do not very tremendously, and while the little differences are striking, see pros... If you're expecting an epic visual novel with multiple routes, that not really what this is.* Some moments manage to be a little silly, even if you completely buy into the atmosphere (as I ended up doing).* The experience is short, though - once again, see pros.* Not a con for me, but player input is fairly low. If you need to have every strange experimental game you play have a knife-juggling segment, well, I wish you luck finding your ideal game; but this won't be it.* I feel that Ren'Py might have executed some scenes/fullscreen support better, though I'm biased towards it, aha. But I did miss being able to save more freely, even if the abruptness of the save menu was atmospheric in a way of its own...* Some endings, especially a certain ending, can seem very abrupt. I've my theory about that one, too, but that's for the devs - and I'll mention as much in a comment.~Pros~* Both the cinematography and the sound design are fantastic. Going in completely blind, I was surprised how good individual shots were. Pay attention to the framing - you won't regret it.* The core of the story is incredibly solid, and I'd say that for 80% of it, I was riveted, to the point that repeat playthroughs were intensely enjoyable... Even with some engine resolutions parsing slower than others.* As characters, the only two characters that are present are both believable and interesting. Elana's story unfolding was heart-rending... Although I'd be really interested in seeing it from a different perspective.* Not only are the 'hidden extras' cool, the use of FMV itself transitions well to a game. Even the way background ambience transitions from scene to scene is really frikkin' cool and ends up making the atmosphere seem incredibly organic.* Finally, and least import to me but still incredibly neat, the aesthetic stylings - and feeling of the whole thing being a cassette tape - are done flawlessly. It would be easy to have phoned them in, but they remain consistently high-quality throughout.~In closing~Recommending things is hard. I know a lot of people won't appreciate Morph Girl, to be honest; there's a lot to struggle with, and it's really not a traditional game... Or a traditional anything. So, I had to ask myself if I would recommend it, and I absolutely would. Though it wouldn't work as a proper VN or perhaps even a FMV adventure game, as it's own thing, I heartily enjoyed Morph Girl, even with the elements that didn't quite click for me.I'd recommend it to people who are feeling listless, or like they're stuck in a rut; those who want to try something new without breaking the bank, and don't mind something rather experimental. Those who enjoy brevity in their series, rather than multiple seasons, fading in quality like static on a...Ah. Damn.I wonder, what will be the equivalent of static, for future generations?... Those I'd caution against a purchase would be players who are expecting a classic game, or even a classical visual novel - those looking for a traditional tale of horror, and those who will only play it once and be done with it. You should probably play it at least twice, even if you don't get all the endings.Finally, I'd like to extend a gigantic thanks and tip of the reviewatorial (which is a word, I swear) hat to Malkavian; I never would've known about this one without you. Hopefully, someday I can return the favour!Comments for the developers below, they'll likely be a bit bland/spoilery.. I was a little surprised by how much I enjoyed this title. There's no dialogue, not a lot of variety in the day-to-day, and I'll be honest, the acting could've been better. But I felt so emotional for the main character, that it kept me invested in seeing how things turned out. It's a short game with multiple endings and I really appreciated every bit of the work that went into it - I'll be playing again to see if I can get another ending I may not have seen just yet, and to finish off achievements, definitely!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGcIBuNHLlo&list=PL5Jimra-A3jLJqh-QPufgS6eGuPpIy3gX. quot;Morph Girl" exemplifies the primary reason why I don't bother with Visual Novels. Now, let's be clear on one thing before going any further: As a dramatist myself I LOVE Interactive Drama and FMV games. However, I am also under no illusions that these games come in many different levels of quality. Sometimes, the game can be deliberately poor in quality to give it that trashy appeal. A perfect case in point being "Press X To Not Die". However, there are some FMV titles where you look at them and just think that maybe the idea would have worked better if the developers had just made a short film and had done with it. This is definitely the impression one gets when playing, or rather watching, "Morph Girl". The whole purpose of interactive drama as a creative concept is to give players the same level of emotional engagement with the action on-screen as one would get watching a fiction film. To this end, the game is a spectacular failure. The production values are so cheap they feel like some-one's high school student project, which could be forgiven if the drama was a little more...you know...interactive. Unfortunately, players will spend about 95% of their gaming experience watching events unfold rather than influencing them. Compared to superior titles like "The Bunker" and "The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker", where players have a far greater amount of consent over how the story develops, this game does feel like it needs some major redevelopment. A shame, really, given that the story itself is quite well put together with regard to it's emphasis on the self-imposed imprisonment and isolation brought forth by bereavement. However, even here, the emotional effect is stunted because the developer have insisted on using a non-actress for the lead character. Her reactions are so wooden and her expressions so forced that it is difficult to empathise with her on any real level. Consequently, audiences are left feeling disgruntled, and even mildly annoyed, at times when they should be gushing with sympathy. I was foolish enough to pay money for this game, so I'm going to bite the bullet and see "Morph Girl" through to the end. Do I recommend it though?
