Time to Morp

Time to Morp is one of those games that just makes you want to potter about for hours. You land on a mysterious planet as an Intern with a job to do, and pretty quickly get swept up in something much cosier: taking care of Morps, these odd little creatures who help you gather resources and just generally roll around being adorable while you explore.

There’s a proper rhythm to it. Fish in calm waters, plant crops, cook up meals, decorate your own home from over 300 items, then help design the whole town as it grows. You can automate a lot of the grind too, so machines handle the watering and gathering while you go off exploring biomes and uncovering secrets. It’s built for up to four players, so you and your mates can each build your own house and muck in together, though it holds up fine solo as well.

Underneath all the cosy stuff there’s a real mystery to chase, a SOS signal, a crew of characters with their own personalities, and a lost soul who needs your help getting home. It’s the kind of game where the story pulls you along gently while you’re busy getting distracted by fishing and farming, which honestly is our favourite kind of game.
