Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Morphopolis, developed by Dan Walters and Ceri Williams and published by Dan Walters, is a small, atmospheric puzzle adventure that leans more toward visual storytelling and exploration than traditional gameplay challenge.
60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The pretty much repetitive process in each part of the story (five in total) is interspersed with full-screen puzzles of varied styles, not too hard to solve once you have got the hang of it, but where what you are supposed to do isn't always obvious or straightforward.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
This visual approach is complemented by a gentle, ambient soundtrack that enhances the calm, almost meditative atmosphere.
