Judgement: Not Recommended

View review on Steam

  • Morlan's shorts:
This is your typical, by now, "sideways" recommendation. If you're looking for a short movie-style, type of "adventure" game, reading a lot of dialogues, many of which don't make much sense or are useful/funny/informative in any way but are basically ramblings of a (weird)Edgar fella.. and also like not having to make an effort but just walk through a game (back and forth repetitively) to uncover the story.. Go for it!.. but at a great discount.
There isn't much action (but in the last stage). There is just going to person A fetch/read/talk and return to person B.
The art is lovely, the music is cute/uplifting and enjoyable. But those are the good parts. It doesn't justify the high price of 8 doubloons for 3+ hours of "gameplay" for what is basically a short film.
Also, extra points reducted for some obsene achievements that would artificially prolong the game: Harvest 10/50/100/500 squashes?? You barely need 1 or 2 to progress the game and there is absolutely no reason to harvest anymore. This is just a ridiculous afterthought ..without any thought behind it. It would take a lot of hours to do that, by just clicking again and again at the squashes. More hours than to finish the game. Why do you do that? Just remove them and make it decent.
It was fun, in a way, enjoyed many of it parts but I wouldn't recommend it as a game but as a short story, if you like all of the above.

Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence!
