What is Morpheus?

There’s a thin line between dreams and nightmares, and Piranha Interactive’s new adventure epic, Morpheus, explores these subtle differences in three CDs with a complex story line, haunting videos, and vivid graphics. In Morpheus, you’re an Arctic explorer tracking the fate of your long-lost father. Separated from your party, you are slowly freezing to death. Then, out of the dreamlike mists of a bitter blizzard, you see an abandoned ship, frozen in the ice. It’s the Herculania, the same missing luxury liner that drew your father to these Arctic wastes years ago.

Eager for warmth, you board the deserted ship, but it seems haunted. You begin to experience visions and dreams, and hear the voices of missing passengers. As you probe abandoned corridors, you piece together fragments of twisted lives and home in on the dark secrets of the ill-fated Herculania.

Puzzles propel the plot and give you wider access to the mysteries. You’ll find a variety of dream worlds to explore in Morpheus, each stunningly rendered in 3D with full 360-degree panning. The graphics are gorgeous, the acting is professional, and the music and ambient sounds work seamlessly. Snippets of live action video flesh out the story and pro- vide clues to the puzzles. Morpheus is a thoroughly enjoyable hunt-and-explore game, with a plot that may generate nightmares of your own.
