Morphology

“I keep seeing this little guy around my shelter. Does it expect food and protection from me? …it’s been a long time since anyone ever expected anything from me at all”.

Story: once again you are hunting and scavenging amidst the ruined world. Unexpectedly, a peculiar creature comes close to your base. It’s weak and hungry and at its death’s door already. Will you help it? Will you feed it, offer it morphing materials and play with your new “pet” so it won’t get lonely?

You can raise it as a tough warrior. You can make it your closest aide. You can create the ultimate predator who won’t be needing anything or anyone ever again - including its former caretaker.
The choice is yours. But first, let’s just keep it alive.

***

• Raise a tiny morphling into a powerful independent being.
• Ration food, clothes and medicine to help it grow.
• Explore the ruined city in search of resources.
• Unlock all of the unique evolution forms.

***

Controls: mouse. Click on the morphling to interact with it, drag-n-drop items to balance its stats, scavenge for extra resources – but remember to keep your morph fed and healthy in the meantime.
You won’t always understand what it wants or needs at the moment, but you’ll get there eventually.

We value independent exploration and discovery in games. However, if you ever feel you need more help, please check the in-game tutorial. Some extra hints before you start:

• Mood meter matters most during evolution. Think of it as humanity.
• Fruits and Meat both satiate hunger and also work as mood control.
• Fabric and/or Armor are essential in preparing for an evolution.
• Medicine helps when your pet is ill… but it has other uses, too.
• Toy and Interaction may seem like pointless options at first, but they have hidden effects depending on the route you’re taking.
• Oh, and you can hit [Escape] to skip text during interludes ;)
