Im too terrified of having my new cellphone battery dying on me (my old one got toast that way...) to play this 3h video while i sleep. Otherwise i'd be watching it everyday until i got it memorized. This is really good morph!
i think these are deer foxes! they have magical powers to restore nature, which is why we saw Neva be important during the killing of the big creatures and when they howled over the boar plants grew on them!
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Not the stone ages, true, but it is more likely if you’re in a war zone or in a place that is of a hair’s breath of being embroiled in one😞 (pardon if my English is bad as it is my second language)
The flowers that sprout out of the decayed animals or wherever the world is infected look like poppies, which often bloom over battlefields, and symbolize death. Also the lily's we see which symbolize rebirth, this game is really coming through with the floral symbolism
It's not a loop. This game started with the end, then the whole journey of Alba with Eva was in the past, from the moment when Alba raised Neva as a pup, how they defeated the corruption and how Eva got the scar on her left eye. At the end of the game, when we are back to the present, we got to see what actually happened during that fight when Alba passed out, so the cub at the beginning is actually Bruma, not Neva. The journey of Alba and Bruma will continue, hopefully this time it's without the darkness and monster.
SPOILER ALERT! Their is actualy a secret cutscene you can get by collecting all the flower trophies. In the cutscene, we see Alba having longer hair sitting on the ground humming and an adult Bruma with 5 cubs. Their is also a white butterfly fluttering over them, meaning that Neva is still watching over them
The name Neva has a few meanings, one being white spirit, another being snow, as in purity. Alba means shining, light, and also rock. (Thank you, Google) Whatever the corruption may symbolize, and I'm sure everyone will have their own interpretations, I'd like to think this means Alba is Neva's rock, her guiding light who helps her grow strong. Perhaps this means there's hope in years to come, so long as we're willing to fight against the horrors and not let our spirits be corrupted.
@@christinelachance Alba is also the Scottish Gaelic word for Scotland. We have a TV channel in the UK that is in Gaelic called BBC Alba. It's also the name of a Scottish political party that wants Scottish independence. Traditionally, when looking at history, it refers to the polity of Picts and Scots united in the 9th century as the Kingdom of Alba. There is also a lot of crossover in the other Celtic languages such as Manx, Irish, Welsh, Cornish etc.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I also lost two cats rather recently, both within a year of each other. Just know that you will get through this. Fly high kitties
It was never a loop. If you play the opening scene again you can see the grown-up wolf has the scar on its left eye. And throughout the game, Neva is the only purely white pup. The ending scene is deliberately positioned at the beginning that game maker tricks us into thinking it’s a loop. Beautiful story telling technique.
There is something deeply healing about listening to you weep over beauty. The appreciation and gratitude for pretty things coming from such a deep voice soothes a very injured part of me.
Morph, if you work from home, as I suspect, then you have plenty time for a dog. The most important thing for them is that you're there with them. Getting an older dog or a quieter breed (or both) should fit your lifestyle. Huskies and Malamutes do take a lot of time and energy, but Greyhounds only need to run free for about 10 minutes a day and are otherwise happy to cuddle, and many need homes after their racing days are done. I have a Havanese, and her greatest need is snuggles, she would be perfectly happy without walks, but she needs to snuggle. There's definitely a dog in a shelter that would be lucky to live with you right now. ❤
huskies are definitely not a good choice for a first time dog owner! They're great dogs for the work that they're bred for, not so much for house pets.
Some of my best companions have been rescue animals. I understand some people wanting certain breeds, but so many animals needing homes are ready to just laze around on the couch and be good little buddies.
Was crying only 2 minutes in… Just last Wednesday I, perhaps somewhat impulsively, adopted the sweetest most cuddliest 5yr old 100lb husky. I think watching this with my own wolf dog has made this a touch more affecting. Absolutely beautiful game, only about halfway through this play through. Will have to finish tomorrow unfortunately. Thanks for another lovely video :)
When THAT moment came I legitimately was begging for it to not happen again. I was a fucking wreck during that moment in my playthrough (and again watching yours). Nomada Studio absolutely delivered with Neva
When I was in the fourth or fifth grade our science teacher was teaching us about the food chain and made up a game to good along with it. We were told to make animals that were either herbivores or carnivores and then we would go out to the playground which had a giant yard for a soccer field and a few trees and we would act out our animal’s life cycle. I made a mixture of a der and a wolf (like Neva kind of) and I had a symbiotic relationship with some kid in my class that had a griffin that had the intelligence of a human (idk if that’s right, just what I remember). This game is what that whole day of playing felt like.
whoaaa! That sounds like an awesome game! and how magical to see a game all these years later that give you the same feeling! wow, that's utterly magical!
If you don't have the time to go on long walks with a dog but still want to get one and maybe do some good, I'd suggest looking into senior dogs. At least that's my plan for the future, just picking the oldest dog from the shelter and giving them a good home for however long they need. A lot of old dogs have joint issues so you wouldn't be taking them for super long walks like younger dogs. Or you could check if a local dog shelter lets you take dogs for walks. Our local shelter used to do that or you could just hangout with the animals to get them socialized. They would have an event where everyone brought their own dog and some people took the dogs from the shelter and we all went for a really long walk. I live in germany, we take many walks haha Edit: Finally finished watching and I am also a mess right now, this was so good. I absolutely loved the animation and colours.
We have similar things in the US. You can volunteer to just hang out with them, take them for walks, play with them, etc. A lot of shelters also have a "sleepover" program, where you can choose a dog and take them home for a night or two to socialise and love them up. There's all sorts of great opportunities out there for people to help (and to get their dose of doggo).
Funny story, but I actually discovered you through your Twilight reading videos with rain in the background; had no idea you were a gamer, so I'm an instant fan. And you're playing a game from one of my favorite studios! I just installed it for myself, so I won't finish your video until I've had the chance to play some of the game, but I'll definitely be back to finish it. Thanks so much for all your awesome content!
Listen maddie, when I saw you uploaded this video I literally screamed, dropped what I was doing and bought this game lmao!!! I'll be watching after I complete my playthrough because I've been waiting for this game for YEARS
This game gives off amazing princess mononoke vibes, from the dark creatures to the abnormally large unique animals. The mother wolf’s death reminded me so much of moro’s it saddened me. Definitely buying this.✨
Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤ This game hits home for me and I was sobbing all the way through. You see my childhood dog was a Canadian shepherd named Neva and my mom always told me how she never left my side since the day I was born. She was my soul dog. When times are hard I look at the sky and ask her for guidance. When the game was announced I was overwhelmed with emotions and seeing your play through … it is beautiful. I’m at a loss of words. Thank you again! I’m going to go cuddle my girl also a Canadian shepherd now named Quanta after Neva’s mom.
I wasn't 5 mins in when I was already crying. This proper hits you in the feels. It's a beautiful game that hooks you in straight away. I have absolutely loved watching this
My dog’s journey to the Rainbow Bridge started today. He was just diagnosed with cancer at 17 years old. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that an IG post of yours guided me here. Watching your playthrough while keeping my little one company has brought up so many emotions for me and in a way has helped me prepare for his departure. Thanks for posting this ❤
i want to mention something its my first time here in your channel, 1st video more precisely im here because i was stuck in a part of the game i just want to say your voice is really soothing, its just i cant believe someone's voice can be this soothing so thank you
Hey this is the first video i saw of you and wow. You are narrating in such a touching way. It is really a comfort. Aaaand I am pretty sure i listend to your sleep recordings. So thank you
Gosh the ending is so heartbreaking I was absolutely sobbing but still couldn't help but smile when the butterflies erupted from Neva They were scattered all over the map and for me it's a sign that she is always watching over the protagonist and her little one A stunning and emotional game and one of my new favourites for sure, thanks for playing it Morph❤
What a beautiful game. The art reminded me somewhat of Botanicula (Amanita designs) because its haunting &gorgeous. Thank you for the sensitive commentary, you let the game breathe and didn't need to pad the silences. That ending made me weep.
I’m currently playing through this game at the same time as I’m watching this play through, and I’m currently around 35:00 in your progress. I’m gonna be watching as I go, and I’m so glad to know that I’m not the only one who cried immediately. Also I immediately shivered in fear of the boar herd, we are not the same
I cried in the beginning and in the end. I hoped so hard… I really hoped so hard that Neva is special. I almost prayed that she will become strong enough to survive and live to raise her cub. I sit and try to choke back tears, because I am waiting for courier and he’s arriving in a minute. There is no way to hold it though, both frustration with the loop and adoration with power of life are too overwhelming. I guess I’ll meet courier in tears.
I watched that movie you mentioned “Caddo Lake” , and it’s absolutely amazing. I expected it to be good as you said, but it was just beyond my expectations lol
Beautiful picture with enchanting music. The way the character cries sounds like me when ive had a severe auto immune reaction to something I shouldn't eat. I hope its just the game your upset about and not something else. ♥
Morph, you have a strong selfesteem. When you lead this game in such not disfuntcion way, we wonder and discover meaning of somplicity of affection beetwen two souls that where united by loss. And, by the resonans we solidary and root for these steadfast heroes in an often cold world.
Well... a few billions at most (actually 4 billion specifically since Earth formed in a vulcan mass of accrued rock). At fear of being too literal, I am just loving the game and the art so far. I don't know a lot about the story yet. Also agree, get a dog when you are ready for one & it will pay you back x10.
Thank you man! You are not alone who cried. It was a brilliant playthrough. These dark monsters are really annoying. I was really fed up with fighting with them. Thank you again ❤
37:25 you can see when he kills these monsters plants will start growing on the ground. That’s such a cool detail by the developers to show she is fighting back against the darkness killing the forest
I saw the first buttercups here 1-2 weeks ago. Thinking of you and mentioning your walks to the pond... made me take in nature more. Thank you Morph! Also will now also take a look at previous game Gris, which I've never heard of!
This game is beautiful. A couple weeks ago I adopted my second dog and it made me start wanting to play this cute game I already had and never finished: to the rescue. It’s a dog shelter simulator game that’s a relaxing time management game on steam.
@@dusklight9424 Yes! You're spot on. I can't believe people can't wrap their heads around this simple concept. The beginning is simply a flash forward with missing scenes to trick us into believing it's the beginning of the game.
@@virtualwarp To be fair, the description of the game says that, “alba, a young woman bound to a curious wolf cub following a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Together they embark on a perilous journey through a once-beautiful world as it slowly decays around them” So yea I think most of us assume it was a sort of cycle at first because we see the beginning play out exactly as the description says, presume from there, and then cry our eyes out at the end I guess one can also say that no one wants to really accept that the beginning and end are one and the same; we think, “we’re gonna raise this wolf cub to be the bestest, avenge mama wolf, and save the world!”. Then we think we’ve done it, only for the game to be like, “👀 surprise…”
@@DarkFleurofIra To be honest, I never read the description, haha. I just watched the gameplay footage and teaser trailer. Well, they tricked me into believing that as well, at first. But, as the ending went on, I quickly realized what was going on. Yeah, the ending was a tough one to swallow for sure. But in an incredibly good way! I love the ending, and I love this game!
I think it actually *IS* a loop. She's raising both wolves. Neva and Neva's offspring. The beginning of the game is more Nature.. and when you see the second cycle, more unnatural structures are included. One wolf mom passed, and we watched civilization building upon the natural land... the buildings become more integrated as the frames pass.. along with the disintegrated natural landscape. He says it around the 15 mark.. it's devoid of human definined landscapes. We're watching nature adapt.. and transform to the increased pressures of man. And we're seeing them persevere over man with pushing back by roots and seeds to regrow the landscapes. The introduction scene has very little to no man made structures. The closing scene does. You will see human construction stairs where the cranes are.. it signifies that the two worlds are merging along with the changes in the seasons. And during their walk.
I have good news everyone! There's a secret ending! It cured my depression ngl. Spoilers: Bruma grows up, doesn't have a scar on its (idk if it's a boy or girl, I like to think it's a boy tho :p) and has 5 puppies! So there's no loop! Bruma doesn't go through the same fate as Neva, still sad and mad that she died tho. This ending cured my depression.
thanks for playing this. I m sick and it's a very stunning distraction. Eventho I wanted to make a blind playthough - but I dont know when so might be fine still. Anyways I feel the exact way when playing plattformers and I bet I would struggle so much more with the combat, so good job. Also you make me smile a lot and also I cry with you, its nice. I liked all seasons they are artworks, but I think I would prefer being in summer or winter eventho I hate the heat, but the neva summer looks like picnic weather. Also you should play hollow knight. thanks again. ^-^
Oh my gosh... I cried a lot. I wasn't prepared! Neva's behavior reminded me of my puppy, who passed away a few months ago... But this game is wonderful! The story and the parallels with reality is something else... Thank you for playing this game because I really wanted to play, but I was a bit scared, and now I know my heart couldn't handle playing it by myself. 🖤🩵
All the wild animals that you saw would be a great opportunity to get food bird put up that big fight. The stag only take a couple spear stabs to take it down. The small Porsche bars were basically the same size as the stack so yeah.
What a gorgeous game! Those creatures kinda remind me of the Hollow from Scavengers Reign. I'm also only about 30 mins in, sorry if that was mentioned already. Highly Recommend Scavenger's Reign btw.
I played it the day after it came out and I cried. When I told my husband about the game later that day I cried again. Watching this video also made me cry. Game of the year. ❤
In the dream sequence, after the dual stag fight, I don't think you're seeing one of the stags in the background when you reunite with Neva - it's Neva's mother! You see her again at 1:46:41 in the background, upside down and she like infected.

Thanks!!
The deer looking at each other totally killed me too. I was absolutely bawling my eyes out. Ughhh!
I’d like to think the fawn in the beginning of the spring act was their baby ❤
Not my dog Yamper listening to Neva’s little barks at the beginning 🥹
is your dog electric type /j /ref
My dog was staring very intently at the game I was playing on my laptop yesterday, he's so cute. He always barks at my games as well.
Is it a tiny electric type corgi?

This reminds me alot of Ico... shadows attacking, protecting a dog instead of a girl.... Ico was great.

Well... a few billions at most (actually 4 billion specifically since Earth formed in a vulcan mass of accrued rock). At fear of being too literal, I am just loving the game and the art so far. I don't know a lot about the story yet. Also agree, get a dog when you are ready for one & it will pay you back x10.
Thank you man! You are not alone who cried. It was a brilliant playthrough. These dark monsters are really annoying. I was really fed up with fighting with them. Thank you again ❤
37:25 you can see when he kills these monsters plants will start growing on the ground. That’s such a cool detail by the developers to show she is fighting back against the darkness killing the forest
Me at the begining : I have dust in my eyes not crying 🥺 the bad creatures remind me those in heart of darkness (yeah old game lol)
I saw the first buttercups here 1-2 weeks ago. Thinking of you and mentioning your walks to the pond... made me take in nature more. Thank you Morph!
Also will now also take a look at previous game Gris, which I've never heard of!
The Fall in Love with Morph simulator 🥰
This game is beautiful. A couple weeks ago I adopted my second dog and it made me start wanting to play this cute game I already had and never finished: to the rescue. It’s a dog shelter simulator game that’s a relaxing time management game on steam.
That is so beautiful, yet such a cruel game 😭
It could also be about the changing of the seasons in general hence the loop, meaning they might have only delayed winter for a bit.
I think it was never a loop, we just played the memories of the past and in the intro we just saw part of what really happened in the end
@@dusklight9424
Yes! You're spot on.
I can't believe people can't wrap their heads around this simple concept.
The beginning is simply a flash forward with missing scenes to trick us into believing it's the beginning of the game.
@@virtualwarp To be fair, the description of the game says that, “alba, a young woman bound to a curious wolf cub following a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Together they embark on a perilous journey through a once-beautiful world as it slowly decays around them”
So yea I think most of us assume it was a sort of cycle at first because we see the beginning play out exactly as the description says, presume from there, and then cry our eyes out at the end
I guess one can also say that no one wants to really accept that the beginning and end are one and the same; we think, “we’re gonna raise this wolf cub to be the bestest, avenge mama wolf, and save the world!”. Then we think we’ve done it, only for the game to be like, “👀 surprise…”

To be honest, I never read the description, haha.
I just watched the gameplay footage and teaser trailer.
Well, they tricked me into believing that as well, at first.
But, as the ending went on, I quickly realized what was going on.
Yeah, the ending was a tough one to swallow for sure.
But in an incredibly good way!
I love the ending, and I love this game!
I think it actually *IS* a loop. She's raising both wolves. Neva and Neva's offspring.
The beginning of the game is more Nature.. and when you see the second cycle, more unnatural structures are included.
One wolf mom passed, and we watched civilization building upon the natural land... the buildings become more integrated as the frames pass.. along with the disintegrated natural landscape.
He says it around the 15 mark.. it's devoid of human definined landscapes.
We're watching nature adapt.. and transform to the increased pressures of man.
And we're seeing them persevere over man with pushing back by roots and seeds to regrow the landscapes.
The introduction scene has very little to no man made structures. The closing scene does. You will see human construction stairs where the cranes are.. it signifies that the two worlds are merging along with the changes in the seasons. And during their walk.
You should totally play Never Alone if you haven't, this game kinda reminded me of that
I finished it yesterday and cried from the start of the last chapter until that ending. Ugly cried. I was not expecting it.
2 minutes in
Me: Cries 😭
The first boss reminds me of no-face in Spirited Away and i have a hunch that the stag will be a boss later
Thank you for having the gameplay to Neva, I truly appreciate it. I’m a new follower to your page
I have good news everyone! There's a secret ending! It cured my depression ngl.
Spoilers:
Bruma grows up, doesn't have a scar on its (idk if it's a boy or girl, I like to think it's a boy tho :p) and has 5 puppies! So there's no loop! Bruma doesn't go through the same fate as Neva, still sad and mad that she died tho. This ending cured my depression.
HOLY COW I HAVE NEVEE BAWLED SO HARD AT A GAME OMG SO BEAUTIFUL SO SAD
Just finished this game and needed to see if this hit someone else as hard. I wasn’t disappointed. What a game. Totally agree 10/10
Thanks so much for this MM. I cried a lot too. It's a really beautiful game
thanks for playing this. I m sick and it's a very stunning distraction. Eventho I wanted to make a blind playthough - but I dont know when so might be fine still. Anyways I feel the exact way when playing plattformers and I bet I would struggle so much more with the combat, so good job. Also you make me smile a lot and also I cry with you, its nice. I liked all seasons they are artworks, but I think I would prefer being in summer or winter eventho I hate the heat, but the neva summer looks like picnic weather. Also you should play hollow knight. thanks again. ^-^
Oh my gosh...
I cried a lot.
I wasn't prepared!
Neva's behavior reminded me of my puppy, who passed away a few months ago...
But this game is wonderful! The story and the parallels with reality is something else...
Thank you for playing this game because I really wanted to play, but I was a bit scared, and now I know my heart couldn't handle playing it by myself. 🖤🩵
such a great game. Got me crying too.
I don't have the activity level but I'd love a Newfoundland dog. Also I plan to slowly go through this because my heart.
Such a beautiful game it made me cry
im assuming those flowers are like the momento's in gris. if you get all of them they unlock a memory
Dudley Doo-Right was the name of the mountie your talking about. I remember it.
The ending was so unfair nooo 😭 it's reminding me of this game I played a long time ago called "dungeon wonders" and the ending is just a loop
I did not cry until Neva died like her mum. But I am glad her baby bruma survived and hopefully they can live happily together
2:04:27 not him saying mama there a girl behind you I CACKLED🤣
You have such a soothing, calm voice. It's really nice to listen to ❤
All the wild animals that you saw would be a great opportunity to get food bird put up that big fight. The stag only take a couple spear stabs to take it down. The small Porsche bars were basically the same size as the stack so yeah.
Look up a shoebill! You’ll definitely never find that boring. You’ll remember it forever. Mainly in your nightmares but still
7:21 omgnoooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭 poor baby
What a gorgeous game! Those creatures kinda remind me of the Hollow from Scavengers Reign. I'm also only about 30 mins in, sorry if that was mentioned already.
Highly Recommend Scavenger's Reign btw.
I'm so excited for this game!!! Did you play GRIS on the channel before? I'd love to see that from you as well
Just like in Heavy Rain, "JAY-SON!!" hehe
I like how there's always some thing new
I played it the day after it came out and I cried. When I told my husband about the game later that day I cried again. Watching this video also made me cry. Game of the year. ❤
Im crying... I'm legitimately crying...
My heart 😭😭😭😭
In the dream sequence, after the dual stag fight, I don't think you're seeing one of the stags in the background when you reunite with Neva - it's Neva's mother! You see her again at 1:46:41 in the background, upside down and she like infected.
