Once Matthew is aboard, he begins to see other visions - but this time, they're ghostly manifestations of the long-dead passengers of Herculania.
Just as he has given up hope and is recording his final words, he catches sight of a shadow in the ice. The constant exposure to the elements takes its toll, and he begins to have strange, dreamlike visions. In a strange case of repeating history, Matthew, too, becomes separated from his group and is lost on the polar ice pack, wandering for days. Intrigued by the old man's story, Matthew's father set out to find the ship and was never seen again. Instead, the party came across a raving, badly frostbitten, dying man, murmuring something about a luxurious abandoned ship called Herculania. In 1928, when Matthew was just a baby, his father made an attempt to cross the North Pole by balloon. Players take the part of Matthew Holmes, a young explorer resolving the mystery of his father's death.
It's a beautiful, eerie game, with gorgeous visuals, luscious audio and a compelling storyline that drew me in from the first moment of gameplay.
Well, I just finished playing Morpheus and I'm pleased to say it was worth the wait. I so hoped it would live up to the hype and to my expectations of what a good adventure game should be -challenging, immersive, addicting, utterly believable. Even at that rough stage, the game looked spectacular. Ever since I first saw the pre-release promotional materials for Morpheus at E3 this year, I've wanted to get my hands on this game.
