Thanks for the love on this one, glad you like it ❤ I read books softly to help you sleep here: www.youtube.com/@DownToSleepExtra My Insta: instagram.com/madmorph
Please continue to play this game! I want to see what happens to your family next! Im invested! I love how you give them personalities and talk in different voices for them too. Ive never been recommended a video of yours before but i subscribed, this video was so good! ❤
You asked for ghost stories so here we go. I got meningitis when I was eleven and was really ill. We went to A and E but got misdirected to diarrhoea and vomiting. While we were waiting an old woman came in she was dressed weirdly and looking right at me. I asked her what was wrong and she ignored me. I asked her again and still she ignored me. Getting kind of upset I tugged on her sleeve. She looked at me, really looked at me and said. “Give me a few more minutes, dear.” And I was taken further into the hospital and the woman followed us I pointed out but people were talking too loudly and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was lying somewhere strange and there was something in my arm it was making strange noises and my head got bad. I started to cry but the woman touched my cheek and told me she was here now. I stopped crying and my head got a little less painful the longer I looked at her. She told me we could leave in a few minutes but we had to wait a little longer. I said I wanted to wait for my mum and she told me we could wait just a few more minutes. I spent so long waiting. The woman wanted me to go, but I asked to stay because I liked the murals on the walls. She never pulled me, but it was gentle insistence. I started to get up but I felt tired before the door. I fell asleep again. When I woke up I found I had stopped breathing in the night and that had set off alarms and nearly sent the hospital into a code blue. I got better but because I was little and on other things for my adhd it took them a while to get me meds. I found out later there had been no one in the room, and that my great grandmother had died that night at around the time I was in A and E.
This might sounds so stupid but games like this with the unrestricted choice to be so unapologetically you make me so happy. Watching this game play was honestly heartwarming
Not stupid! It actually shows that there are people who are good for being good and not to appease a society or religion …even if streaming it actually doesn’t prove the first point you can guess that there are many people out there which play it still cozy and wholesome without an audience
@@LittleMaitea I'm sorry Temperance tempted me and I immediately went for wanting to test the games limits.... I haven't been able to do my experiments yet due to me not playing the game enough,but I did give Temperence a wedding bouquet....Which she refused....Maybe because it was during someone elses wedding...I then went to insult the bride and groom for her honor to show I truly love her
Honestly the game having an option to turn off a lot of the “survival” options is making it my favourite game recently. I hate survival games but love farming/life sims so the fact that I can live without fear of losing my progress because I forgot to eat makes me v happy
Just immersing in the simple broke farmer marrying the rich mayor's daughter storyline, that's all! The kids can make the farm pretty when i'm gone -_-
I promise a small child I'd find their doll for them, cause that's the type of person I am...but I forget about and never do, because that's also the type of person I am...... Lmao. I love it
I really want to see how passing things into your child works. Do you chose which child to play as? Do they inherit your coins and inventory? Do they have to relearn all the recipes?
yes you choose which child to play as, yes they inherit your coins and inventory, you keep all the recipes, but you restart your skills! source: i have 30+ hours in the game haha
@@oliviaottesen So the children don't gain any skills from school, farming, or their apprenticeships? My next question is, do they inherit the other parent's coins if they die first? Like if Quentin and Mary died, do Isabella or her brother inherit their coins as NPCs? Or if you die then play as your child, and then your NPC parent dies, do you inherit anything from them?
@@NiaJustNia just started the game but from my research kids do gain skill progress depending on if they went to school or apprenticed. School gives an even spread of skill experience while apprentiships grant more specialised exp within the area they work.
My favourite part of my first playthrough was learning that my wedding takes priority over any funerals, pushing them to a later date, even if timewise they should fit on the same day. I gave the mayor the deathcake, attended his funeral, and fed another cake to his wife after the funeral, then proposed the same day. So the next day was my wedding, and it would have been the funeral of the mayor's wife the day after that, except some old guy randomly died on the day of the mayor's funeral, so his funeral came first, and hers was pushed back again... the woman literally laid around dead for 3 days before the town deigned to give her a funeral. Best part is, that I adopted their kid on the day of my wedding, and decided that he is better off being a hunter apprentice, than go to school. He is now either in the woods all day, or coming to the farm late to sleep. His adult sister, the new mayor, officiated my wedding, after I literally took away all of her family within days, and she is left all alone. I never felt so unapologetically villanous. Games usually make you feel bad for doing the bad things, but here literally no one cared, that I gave some suspicious green cake right in the middle of the town square, twice, and both times those people died of poison. The little kid was happy to call me "mother", before his bio mother was even buried.
I just want you to know, that YOU are the reason I am about to buy this game. I saw it on Steam and came here to watch a video about it because I had no idea what this game was about. Thank you for the amazing review of the game lol
@@kbrown6635 lmao, you're welcome. It's a fun game, still actively in development and I expect it to become even better. If you bother to keep track of the villagers, it will soon become a drama better than soap-operas with father and daughter marrying a pair of siblings, having children with them and utterly messing up family ties; the nicest parents having the most evil children; or a person marrying someone who is hated by their family. Or the travesty of a good looking child growing up with male pattern baldness and the ugliest outfit possible. It's fun, I recommend speaking to and keeping an eye on everyone in town
Please make this an ongoing series! Even if it's one long video a month to slowly grow your farm proper over time. Just a slow showcase over the time till game completion. It would be such a treat.
Listen. This was one of the most hilarious 100-days recap videos I've ever watched. Thank you for the random insertion of your own dialogue and doing the voices. You win, I subscribed. And laughed out loud several times.
A month or so after my first dog died (i was around 4 or 5 at the time) i was sitting in the living room at night (idk why) next to my dogs old bed (the same one she died in) and just waited there and after an hour my dog walked up to me and i petted her and completely forgot that she was dead and when i woke up i only realized that i either had a really weird dream or her spirit visited little me before she went to heaven
It would be cool if affairs were possible in the story just to spice things up. When Isabelle got mad at the Halloween event and didn’t attend her mom’s funeral, I thought she was having an affair 😂😂😂
I bought it today - asked the carpenter guy on a date - typical guy answer tho "I am not ready for a commitment"... 🤣 so now I am plotting death cakes 🙄
I had some fun writing on your little poem after the carpenting contest: All the stares, the frustration, oh such a disgrace! How Morphy would like to stuff Deathcake in their face. But she could not possibly do it, her conscience told her firmly "no!". Til it struck her that, with enough whine she could let her memories go. So she packed up her cakes and went around town, noone noticed a change or gave her a frown. And when all was done and the evening struck, She lay in her bed, happy, snug as a bug. For now her whine cellar and her conscience was cleared, and when word got out, the name of Morphy was feared. Hope you like it :)
You really brought the game alive with the little stories, and made even the most mundane tasks enjoyable. The bake off was better than any episode of the great british baking show 😂
This was very cute! The community aspects of this game are really interesting- I like how complex (and almost sinister) the systems are underneath the wholesome aesthetic
In US towns with a lot of agricultural land around Harvest Festivals are HUGE. I grew up in a town that grew a lot of strawberries so our version was the Strawberry Festival in the Spring, but now I live in a town in Utah that has actual large scale food production farms and so in the Fall there are huge celebrations surrounding fall harvest and its so fun
Morphy got me thinking the Mayor position would just be handed down the line instead of the villagers revoting 🤣 This was so fun to watch. It would be awesome to see more.
Main character "we're getting married!" Old lady character: "don't care" 🤣 Love your voice acting, it cracks me up!!! So enjoyable. I will have to play this game immediately. It is so cozy and adorable
I saw you play the demo and immediately knew i had to have this game!! I bought it as soon as it came out, so glad you came back to it now that its out!!!
4:09 I've had a few supernatural experiences, my house I grew up in was extremely haunted. Thankfully none of the ghosts seemed malicious or evil / bad, but it was certainly spooky when things occurred lol. One experience I remember pretty clearly, though, had to do with a ghost nurse at a hospital. My brother was hospitalized due to an accident with a rice cooker (this was many years ago, he's completely fine, now, thank God.) and while I was in the waiting room with my sister, I was crying and very worried about my brother. A nurse came out and saw me and she sat with me and consoled me for a while. She was very friendly and sweet. My sister told her what happened, and she assured me by saying "Your brother will be okay, it's okay." and gave me a hug and then left. Later, my sister and I were at the receptionist desk asking when we could see our brother, and there was a board showing hospital staff who had passed. And of course, the nurse who had come to comfort my sister and I was on that board lol. Talk about working overtime, haha. I will never forget that experience, she was a wonderful nurse and I hope she's at peace. ❤
How do they manage the age, death and succession mechanics? How could they possibly have written NPCs for howevermany generations players might play through?
MadMorph, I just wanted to thank you for your unique and comforting gameplay! You were the one who introduced me to numerous games, (BG3, f.e.) and thanx to these new games I’ve found my first true friends in 19 years of not having them. I seriously considered you as my first ever friend due to your style of narrating and playing. Thank you for everything you do!❤
I’d love to see another vid on this game! I’m intrigued by the premise and while I prefer more in depth npc/character interactions, it’s become one of my fav games to watch others play
I had my first deep grief the past two weeks with my grandads passing and I cannot express how much this video helped soothe my soul. Thank you MadMorph
Oh fuck I didn’t realized you were also the dude who did a my child lebensborn run! I only realized it when he voiced the child with a distinct gremlin voice lol I really both adore and love your videos and stumbling upon this video randomly, not even knowing you made that video that I love surprised me in a good way! ♡♡
I think I might have had a ghostly experience as a wee baby... used to cry a lot or so my mom has told me... she could not figure out why, and it was only when I were put to my bedroom crib I would have those crying episodes (beyond that, very quiet baby). She tried everything from other beddings, open door, open window, something to make the room smell nice... etc. etc. Nothing worked. Eventually she asked a friend of hers that is a self-proclaimed 'Sensitive', cuz desperate for any sort of answer, and that friend of hers said that there was a presence in the room and that, whatever it might be, was causing me to cry constantly in that room. And, no shit, my mom after that just entered my lil' bedroom and said out loud - whatever ghost or spirit that might be here, will you be so kind as to GO AWAY. you're making my child cry all the time! And since then... quiet baby, no more issues. ------------- As a more spooky-personal experience, I recall having ridden the bus on the way home from post-club stuff after school and such... and it was like going towards twilight and as the bus drove, I looked out of the window beside me and saw what looked like a dark shape (could easily be a person in the shadowy shade) move along and passed behind a road-sign... and vanished as it, whatever it was, did so... like if walking behind a sheet or something covering them, but it was just a singular roadsign pole barely thick enough to hide a leg, not a full body. And I recall a gleam of yellow eyes when observing the shadowy personshape move towards the roadsign pole. No idea if I actually saw something spooky, or just a kidbrain mistaken stuff and remembering some details wrong. But the episode's stuck with me for now 20 years.
My biggest supernatural experience I don't actually remember. I was 5 and from what I was told I suddenly came out of my room and said I had to call grandma because grandpa had a message for her. I passed on messages to all my uncles and my dad as well. They were things I should have had no knowledge of and were apparently personal. Only one of my uncles shared what I told and it was "it's okay, grandpa says he can fly now" apparently my recently departed grandfather visited me and told me to pass on his message.
I've only watched half of this video so far, but I want to comment before I forget everything I want to say. I so love your interpretation of how Morphy, her family, and the other townies think and feel. Of course, I love the different voices you give different characters. And how I laugh at the slightly snarky wit sprinkled throughout, like: *I promise to help because that's the kind of person I am, then I forget about it because that's the kind of person I am. 😂💞
i love your videos, they're perfect to watch while doing homework, or just to grab a snack and chill! I haven't even watched it yet, but i just wanted to say thanks!
I’ve been watching this video in between being busy and I have to tell you, this play through is so funny! I love the way you narrate and give the other people some character with the voice acting. The pretend fight with your wife after the harvest fest had to be my favorite part, thanks for this masterpiece
this vid was so perfect! The personality you put into the characters is so fun and makes this playthrough so much more interesting than any other I've watched. your voice is so soft and it was really nice to watch/listen to to calm down before bed. Instant subscribe from me!
I enjoyed your "One Full Year of Echoes of Plum Grove" playthrough. I imagine it requires more time and editing than simply playing a game at your own pace, though. Whatever kind of content you enjoy creating and sharing, that's what I'd like to watch, too! 💓
Ghost story? Ok I was in the Bahamas at a funeral and during the 2nd half we go to the cemetery. I’m like 5 years old at the time and not rly comprehending there’s bodies in a cemetery so I sat down next to a headstone. When I looked back up, a cute little 3-4 year old boy staring right back at me with a little girl holding hands. I quickly asked “wanna play tag” and they nodded. I asked their names (god i can’t remember now for the life of me) and I had no idea what came over me it just felt automatic to ask. So as I’m running around these two tombstones with them, my mother comes to fetch me asking me what I’m doing. I tell her I’m playing tag with two friends and she’s looking at me crazy? “There’s no one there?” And I look again thinking their parents must’ve snatched them up or something. A few minutes later I went to look for them by the tombstones and I asked my ma what the names and dates were.. they were on par with what the kids told me and their ages.
I liked it and would like for you work towards releasing the spirit people that are trapped below the witch's house. Who is holding them captive? Is it a spell? The witch acts like she cares, but most witches are tricky and want you captured.
I suppose this game would benefit from having food preservation options + recipes using said preserved food. And being able to use preserved in place of fresh for certain recipes
Wow, the game has a stunning, emotional soundtrack. The art style is so charming as well! Yes, I'd be crying at the Lantern Festival were I playing the game. Please play more long form games; the immersion is so much deeper. Thanks for sharing the experience with us, Morph. You're a marvel. Cheers
This video introduced me to your channel, and I got to say that your storytelling and pacing is just perfect for this playthrough. Also have to admit your voice is very relaxing, haha! I'll stick around for more content for sure :) Thank you for the video! This game is so different and unique, a great change from the usual farming sims.
New subscriber here! I'd love to see you play more of this for the drama! This game is the first one that I watched of your videos, and I laughed for hours over the: "Hey old lady, we're getting married".... "Don't care".... ;) I mean, your old friend Timmy is waiting for you to help him go to the afterlife!
Thanks for the playthrough! I am enjoying it on my quiet Sunday this week. Clearly it is a long game and you cut a huge amount - it is great, but as a fan of your long-form playthroughs, I would have been happy with twice as much! Thanks again
Given that an average lifetime is about one and a half years, that might get a bit cumbersome. But it'd be interesting to see how many generations you could keep playing.
Isabella and Rose were my love interests too--But then Rose died in a massive smallpox outbreak that killed like half the town in the first month. Isabella and I ended up getting married & having 4 kids before I died of old age. Now Isabella lives with our youngest on the farm, and I think they're both glitched to not die.
Gave the 9000th like and feel special. You asked about ghost encounters so here is one: I grew up in an old farmhouse that has been built by my ancestors and has always been family property. I would frequently hear a child whisper and play the glockenspiel right in front of my bedroom door, no melody, just the sounds, like a child would mess around with an instrument. I would hear it very clearly. But whenever I opened the door, it just stopped and there was nobody there.
