You can now select your antivirus application to automatically scan downloaded files. The program also includes solid parental control. You can also add a password to make sure you control who has access to Morpheus. The application also introduces UDP technology to improve the performance of downloads and allow secure file sharing between 2 firewall protected PCs.
Morpheus comes with interesting enhancements, but not enough to get us overexcited. Add to that the many drawbacks we found in the application. The interface is way too clunky. The My Files tab has an additional file window at the bottom, which adds to the confusion on the interface.
The one-click burning function is something we were eager to try out, but it was nowhere to be seen. P2P downloading. The program gives access to all the P2P networks, even Bittorrent , and the new version introduces safer and quicker transfer thanks to UDP technology. The other extra features in the application like the library structure or web browser feel a bit awkward, and therefore failed at turning the program into a true multimedia application.
New transfer system — faster downloads and ability to set priority. Skins update - changes reload without restart of application. Alerts indicating files that may not be authorized for download note: database and accuracy incomplete - not fail proof Various bug fixes — podcast functionality, general improvements, and much more.
Laws concerning the use of this software vary from country to country. Unlike earlier puzzle games such as The 7th Guest, where puzzles seemed to exist purely for their own sake, the puzzles in Morpheus are tightly and seamlessly bound into the game. The very first puzzle involves finding a way to get out of the bitter Arctic cold and inside the Herculania. Once that's accomplished, the ghostly manifestations and the items found inside the ship inexorably lead the player deeper into the game and into the mystery: what became of the crew and passengers?
Solving the puzzles requires an observant eye, a good memory or a piece of paper and pencil , and the ability to pick up on a number of verbal and visual clues.
It often requires the player to get inside the minds of the dead passengers, a motley crew of disreputable and sometimes outright murderous individuals, to try to think as they would. I appreciate the design philosophy of the folks at Soap Bubble, which appears to be: Try Everything. There are no buttons which accidentally launch you into space or process you into ground round.
Death is not lurking around every corner. As the player, you are encouraged to explore everything without fear of sudden, messy recrimination, a common problem in adventure games released by other companies. In Morpheus , you are free to let common sense be your guide. If it wouldn't kill you in Real Life, chances are good that it won't kill you here. When Myst , the first successful VR adventure game, arrived on the market, the most frequent complaint against it was that it seemed devoid of life.
The creators of Morpheus neatly sidestep this issue in two ways. First, they place the player in an environment a long-abandoned, icebound yacht in the middle of the Arctic where one would hardly expect to find life. Second, they fill Herculania with frequent ghostly manifestations of its dead passengers, helping to fill in what took place so many years before.
Indeed, the dreamworlds within the game often feel more creepy and haunted than the Herculania , precisely because of their emptiness. All the public areas designed for human traffic -- market bazaars, cobbled streets lined with row houses, carnival midways and so forth -- take on a surreal, nightmarish aspect when there are no people to be found anywhere.
One of the things I enjoyed about playing Morpheus is that, unlike other games where every shred of storyline is eventually exposed, there's no evidence of a compelling need on the part of the game designers to spell everything out, to make all our suspicions concrete. For instance, a letter found in one passenger's Bible makes a reference to some episode which required the intervention of the Boston Police; however, the particulars are not divulged and the incident is not mentioned again, allowing the player to draw any number of conclusions.
This sensation of uncertainty, of things left incompletely resolved, gave the game a more realistic feel; after all, in reality there are mysteries which are never fully explained.
I did take issue with the final resolution of the game, which seemed needlessly abrupt. Although I hear rumors that the good people at Soap Bubble and Piranha are already working on another title, it is, alas, not a sequel. NOTE: I found at least one serious bug in the final version of Morpheus , an area in Belle Swan's dreamworld which dumps the player completely out of the game.
This bug has been logged, and Soap Bubble Productions has issued a patch to fix it. Remember, it's always a good idea to save often. Morpheus is one of the most visually rich games I've ever had the pleasure to play. The Herculania is a masterpiece of s Art Deco design, with arched sliding doors, an old-fashioned elevator complete with safety grille, a magnificent ballroom, a Turkish bath, and a grand staircase reminiscent of the one featured in the movie Titanic.
The guests' staterooms are exquisitely rendered; the furnishings and decoration, as well as their personal belongings, all contain clues to their psychological profiles and create an unusual depth of gameplay.
The results are dramatic: a powerful illusion of reality in which the player has much more freedom to explore the VR world and manipulate objects within it. App specs License Free Version 5. Last month's downloads Rocket Torrents 5. Kazaa Lite 2. Soulseek MP3 Rocket 7.
