please play the demo of Farewell North

[@Afther]

For anyone wondering what's the name of the game. it's "Tavern manager simulator" Releasing in Q2 2024

[@melarre]

Thanks! It was missing from the description haha

[@ScruffyMisguidedAndBlue]

Thanks, it is ludicrous that isn't included in the title, description or in the opening of the video.

[@jmwblue]

@@ScruffyMisguidedAndBlue The title is the whole screen at the end of the playthrough though

[@HeiwaJiyu]

@@jmwblue Should be in the title or at the beginning of the video. At the very least in the description. Putting it at the end of an hour long video feels kinda odd tbh.,

[@floralburrito]

@@ScruffyMisguidedAndBlue right? like is he not allowed to mention or write it anywhere bc it's clearly intentional that he hid it lol

[@coffeeandcupcakes7310]

Hi Morph! As a woman who wears makeup, I can tell you from experience that it's less like wearing a mask and more like putting on war paint. Hope this helps! =)

[@christinelachance]

One of the greatest things about the internet is the fact that us introverts have outlets where we are able to express ourselves more freely, openly, and easily than in our offline lives. That said, definitely looking forward to the Renaissance Faire. The crowds can be a bit overwhelming, but going in with a plan makes the time there easier. This time around, I was thinking about going as an herbalist (poisoner). Made a vendor's day last year by buying a set of bongos of all things...at a Renaissance Faire.

[@Lighting_Desk]

From one bear to another, I hope you realise just how loved and appreciated you are. This cozy little safe space with kindred spirits and the occasional goblin. I love your asthetic, your personality and how your brain works. Im all for the VR content too, especially if it gives you a chance to explore. You are the bestest bean and we must protect you at all costs. Also you are a snacc. Own it.

[@bambooriffic3827]

I love the games where Morph just gets to ramble at us

[@angelfall7479]

I'm a massive introvert (like I usually score around the 97-98% mark) but I work in a shoe shop so you're dealing with people close up all the time. I enjoy it, because they're mostly shorter interactions within the framework of the situation. There's always conversation to fall back on if you need it. I actually find that way less stressful than social things with friends or strangers where there's nothing there to 'keep the conversation going'. I like being with friends but I'll often be there quietly enjoying the company and not engaging constantly. It's much better than the year I worked in a cafe where there was way too much to keep track of. People coming up and ordering one at a time is easier to manage than lots of people who all think they should be priority because everyone is the centre of their own universe. I'd probably be ok in a coffee shop over a bar, because the queue is much more organised and people wait their turn 😆

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

I've worked as a bartender, a server, a host, and a barista over the course of many years. Being a host is the absolute worst, I would never do it again. Barista is slightly better, at least I enjoy making coffee drinks and working early mornings. Being a server REALLY depends on where you work, I've had many crap server experiences and some great ones. But I honestly really miss being a bartender. It was the best job I've ever had and the only time I enjoyed going to work. I loved making drinks, being able to have more freedom with my work flow, being able to get know people on a deeper level, being able to KICK PEOPLE OUT if they're pissing me off and not having to be "nice" for nice's sake, the money is usually great, and getting free drinks is a plus. I also just like the cozy vibes of a good pub. I've also been quite lucky and have never had to work for a corporate place (except one time and I only lasted a couple of months before quitting)

[@maquenzieberriz4032]

Just a heads up as someone with pretty bad social anxiety (because you mentioned feeling too inhibited to go to a ren faire), if you have a good group of friends to go with and you all coordinate outfits (or at least know what everyone in your group is going to wear) it’s a lot of fun to dress up and go to a Ren Faire. The vast majority of attendees dress up in costumes that range from bounding to cosplay and in my experience, the type of people that go are super accepting and fun. Highly recommend!

[@steamgoth-lassassin4099]

I've always wanted to open a bed and breakfast but have it be fantasy themed. Like, guests stay in little cottages and it's all in the woods and maybe host events for tabletop or larping and stuff. The main house that you get your food at and such is styled after a Tavern and stuff. It's been a whole idea I've had for a few years now.

[@Indigo_Shard]

Go for it follow your dreams it's never too late (plz do I think you might finally bring some hobbits out of their hidey holes)

[@caitlyncasey9229]

You should look into this place called ancient lore village in Knoxville tn! They have something decently similar to this ☺️

[@TiphAndSmaug]

DO it !

[@kayladeann7984]

How did I not realize you do “down to sleep”?! I listen to you almost every night to get my toddler to bed and I’ve watched so many of your videos here and never put two and two together 😮😂

[@MadMorph]

You're not alone, I get this quite often, thanks for listening and watching lol :D

[@misitech6758]

They have a game for this now. I just play on the sims and build my own taverns and have a legacy family that runs it. I have 10+ gens already 😭😭 I love this idea though, it’s like a rags to riches and expanding as you go.

[@misitech6758]

Your cats name is Cosmo ?? I have two and their names are Cosmo & Calypso. ❤️❤️

[@Miss_Distress]

Something like that night actually get me interested in the sims again. What expansions do you use? The dine out system?

[@proudfurry21212]

having to do all that just to open your tavern front door is crazy 😭😭

[@Sylvoraa111]

I love the subtle turn back to the customer as you were making your Ikea joke in hopes that would get it😂 and I would like to see you play VR gamess :D

[@natashajacobs8353]

My mom encouraged me to take a job in retail while I was in high school. I hated it at the time and it was at a school clothing store so over the holidays it was crazy busy. I was working with impatient customers, tired co-workers and a hellish boss. Now working at a small company, doing work I enjoy with co-workers and a boss I get along with (most of the time), I realise I use those skills of dealing with angry customers and juggling projects and stress so much better than those my age who didn't. I don't thing anyone wants those crappy retail jobs or wants to work with a million clients a day, but man can it be a huge learning opportunity.

[@missdire]

Yes yes yes! All of this! I worked retail for most of my working life (20ish years). It teaches you soooo much. And one of the biggest lessons I took away from it all? How to treat other retail workers!! No one *wants* those jobs, but I feel like working in the service industry for like 6 months should be a requirement for everyone, simply for the lessons in humanity and patience.

[@LG_Hakubi]

Yes, like legit I think it should be a requirement for everyone at adulthood to do a stint in retail, (food) service industry, customer service, and warehousing. Mandatory, cannot opt out. Required every 20 years so you can't grow old and forget. And hell, I'm an introvert with SAD advocating for that 😆 really think it would be beneficial.

[@Staceysue64]

I'm so happy to see you playing this game. You bring the characters to life and I love watching you play just as I like listening to your sleep stories. Please keep up the amazing work. You're awesome

[@thornwingcrochet]

The bits about the sausage are cracking me up. Perfect way to wind down tonight with your soothing style of let's-play-ing, thanks for the work you do!

[@anastasiaholmberg1330]

Impeccable timing Morph 👌 just when I needed one of your videos to wind down

[@thunbaba6585]

I went to my first larp over the weekend as a cowkin, walked and danced around the place with cowbells on my belt which some people seemed to enjoy! I had a lovely time everyone was so lovely, might have been the best camping trip I’ve ever had 🧡

[@brittanycerbone6008]

Not me running to watch this 😂

[@courtbourtt]

The way you said “renaissance” killed me 😭

[@KoraWade]

I would love to see you make a full playthrough of Indika!!

[@MadMorph]

Coming soon! Fingers crossed I get time to record it this week, really enjoyed the demo

[@missdire]

That game is like a bad acid trip 😂 But I'd definitely watch a full playthrough. I'd add SA and mental health geared trigger warnings at the start of it, though.

[@orianamidence9941]

"I am just splatting all over the shop."

[@jesscmcmxc]

definitely would love Morphy in VR 😍😎

[@lizplays7766]

i'm currently playing D&D, where we are in a tavern currently! cant wait to watch this after!

[@RosinaPop]

This game looks pretty cute. Im still trying to play through Bear and Breakfest. I wonder if this is similar

[@MidnightSun111]

You are genuinely so funnyyy. You make me giggle! You are such a bright, good soul with so much sense, it's so refreshing. Much love!❤

[@BishyBashBosh10]

Bristol has a steampunk themed cocktail bar, a tarot themed one that do tarot readings, burlesque nights and other events, tons of different board game bars and cafés, they have a cat pub, a couple arcade game bars. I'm constantly finding new bars I want to check out!

[@dapandamau5]

we have player 1 bar here in vegas. its a gaming bar where they have things from ps2/xbox360 to ps5/xbox1 and old retro games like donkey kong and pacman, pinball machines, unique drinks, food, anime themed nights, the workers are forced to cosplay everyday, lots of people love playing fighting games on the big tvs at the bar against each other. amazing amazing place.

[@Mumbles0225]

My husband and I plan to one day build a tavern themed after the beginning taverns in the Witcher 3. Neither of us like the game much, but we both started it and thought it would be SUCH a cool place to hang out.

[@MrSqurk]

We have a local bar that is Halloween-themed 365 days a year.

[@VampyressVA]

4:05 I had two places like that where I used to live. I mustered the courage to get in, being older than most there, and had a blast with board games and coffee drinks. I know I have at least one similar place near me now, but I've been such a hermit lately and, well, now I'm even older than their clientele 😂 I have been to a Star Wars themed cantina AND a medieval pub near me though. Very cool. No board games or D&D going on there though, just themed munchies and drinkies. I've also been to a ren faire held in a university campus AND a Vampire: the Masquerade LARP. Have always been a nerd. 🤓 BTW the butterbeer at Disneyworld is not worth it, just an overly sweet foamy drink...

[@Lighting_Desk]

The butter beer on the studio tour was pretty OK and you got to keep the mug.

[@VampyressVA]

@@Lighting_Desk Nice to know! I went right after they had opened the first Harry Potter attractions in the park and still have a mug, but it's a simple one - made of translucent plastic with a Butterbeer graphic on the front.

[@jenniworkman8571]

That “well fed pony” sign is going to be showing up in All the graphic designers kerning nightmares 😅😂

[@NovasCreations]

I am a larper. It may be different in the UK, but where I used to do it in the States before moving to Australia, each LARP had its own character building system and theme/world. Like D&D but actually dressing up and going out into the woods.

[@sommer2492]

HI I DO LARPING!! I love love love a good themed resturant/bar/experience- makes sense why I like larping so much lol. Not only do I go to a couple other larps but I actually run one too! Also I do share your sentiment- there should be more themed restaurants/taverns/bars. Honestly my dream at this point would be to open up a lovely fantasy themed bed and breakfast.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Never seen a medieval tavern as the setting of a cozy game before. Very original.

[@elanasilverman4468]

The cosmetics, it's a good questions you ask - it's a way of *creating* an alternate version of your face. It's not like a mask, because I'm still identifiable... but it's a version. Often cosmetic do-ups work by re-drawing the face - and it can use a ton of makeup but be very naturalistic, or it can a modest amount yet be outrageous.

[@laurelsamuelson3764]

11:46 I honestly love when bartenders and baristas use pet names I haven’t been LARPing, but I have been doing a Jane Austin/regency version of D&D with some friends. We’re doing a new campaign this summer and it’s going to be a gothic

[@WhitneyDahlin]

I definitely agree I would go as a villain to any type of LARP. I always thought like the actors who get to play like the villains in movies and shows are having the most fun. Because it's so different from who you are in real life. There is no way anyone can tell me that Ursula's voice actor wasn't having the most fun with the performance LMAO I would definitely practice an evil laugh though and I would maybe come up with a convoluted evil plan so that way anytime I see a hero I can start a fight.

[@875grace]

30:17 as someone who has a fear of mascots I can totally understand feeling free inside of the costume, however the costumes do give me chills

[@Ch_elle11]

The rambley ones are my favorites😊 Every day I'm working in the 'Ye Olde Bookstore Tavern' feels like a LARP among my book nerds...ha. And with the perfect mask and cape, I sense you would truly out-LARP the best of them. Morph, If you could only hear how we ramble back😂

[@elizabethgyder5524]

Such a cute game!!! Thanks for all your content Morph!!!

[@wraithrose]

What's the name of the game...?

[@sleepy_klee]

Tavern Manager simulator

[@msSapphiric]

Cute!!!! Love this sort of gameplay

[@kikiohearts]

My family goes to Renaissance faires in July and go to the Bristol Ren Faire in wisconsin. Im always a half orc half hobbit warrior. When my kids were younger they liked to dress up. Now they are preteens and are in that whole zone but they admit they still really like going every year. I say by time they are in their 20s they may want to dress up again.

[@ashleyguthrie572]

In the united states, we have a lot of themed bars/pubs, and also coffee shops! I think hyper specific things like "Star Wars Cantina" aren't exactly common because of licensing/copyright and such, but I have seen more general themes, like nerdy stuff, horror theme, science theme, fantasy theme, astrology/magic theme, video game/arcade theme, etc. I actually even know someone who owns an arcade bar.

[@annanimity2034]

"Excuse me, for trying to be a small business owner, in this year of out Lord..." 😅 *Sweeps* 🎉

[@VampyressVA]

[@11ozzielover]

The level of cleanliness would definitely fit lmao

[@stduupie]

another must watch morph video. i’ll definitely play this one i love doing a fun job in game. also have a good night morph 😊😊

[@missdire]

The innuendo during this episode. 😂 Loved it. And yes! Please expand into some VR! That said, there are a ton of other games like this - but two really good ones are: a very Stardew Valleyesque one called Traveler's Rest, and an isometric view one called Tavern Master. Theres a slew out there, and probably just as many in VR!

[@SanovaRae]

I don’t LARP but I go to the medieval fairs anytime they’re in town. I don’t dress up but plenty of other people do and it’s good fun. Feels like you’re in another world. And the jousting! It may not be as dangerous cause they aren’t trying to kill each other but the horses thundering down the field makes for a powerful show.

[@Crysta_mchenry]

32:33 I feel empowered having a full face of makeup on. Like I’m more confident and more myself. Although I have been going to work lately with barely only mascara.

[@JezzaHeart]

I fell asleep watching this and had THE most insane tavern-fantasy-action themed dream i've ever had.. only the people running the tavern were two guys who were in a band/friends from highschool and it was like i was watching a documentary on all their tavern happenings/how they bought the place.. dream ended after they just found a dragon that stole a stray dog from their tavern.. rode after it in motor cycles.. there was music in the background.. and a love interest between the two guys who also rode a motorcycle but would just make fun of them. I specifically remember a photo montage of their band doing a shoot, at the tavern, getting drunk. No idea how all of that came from watching this video, buuut thanks? lol

[@mariobecroft5770]

Only 10 minutes in, but the Making a Drink mechanic so reminds me of Dave the Diver (another series I really enjoyed from you)!

[@Lexthehex92]

Renaissance faires are indeed fantastic!

[@FangsMcGee]

My friend and I went to a LARPing event and we were rogues & snuck around the campsites and were mischievous. We took a skull decoration from a camp and hid it in the outhouse.

[@Sims_gaming]

I really enjoyed watching the entire video. I think I’ll also play this game in the future! Really nice vibe, but I hope we can employ someone to wash the crockery in the full game.

[@pastelberru]

In los angeles there are a few taverns with themes! I go to a videogame one down the street from me and all the drinks are based off games too! They have a whole wall of board games you can borrow from

[@Star_Beacon]

You’re my favorite, my dear morph, I love ur content and comfy personality so much 🥺 I hope I can make a game one day that you’ll play! I love u :3

[@Barbi3_215]

Sipping with sirens lmao 🤣

[@B1T3F0RC3]

The ren fairs ive been to have all been so cool, plenty of crazy loud people but also chill grassy spots and nice food, I get tired easily so I usually end up passed out for a an hour or two w friends lol. you should go just once to try it!!

[@psychotats42]

As someone who has been a barista and am now a bartender, it really depends on the place! I’m inclined to say bartending is harder because you’re dealing with drunk people on top of the actual labor of it, but I’ve been a bartender way longer than I was a barista. Of course the money is WAY better as a bartender 😅

[@SabiChan8]

I used to LARP with an ex that passed away. I went as a Lone woodland huntress, and I have gone as a demon princess tracking down the man she is supposed to be arranged married to. And I have gone as myself who was slowly turning into a fairy because I ate fae food. lol It was very fun.

[@RichterScale-oz5pp]

If they made a video game inspired by the wandering inn, I imagine it would look something like this.

[@AmarratheAasimar]

[@lisas8614]

Love that you chose the cat, I also have a black cutie ❤

[@DapperPaperBag]

I know that we have a Pop up bar that has themes in Edinburgh. They had a Harry Potter theme as well as others.

[@mccheesy699]

32:03 It really depends on the person. Not everyone is putting makeup on to enhance the way they look. It could be just for fun, for the art of it, makes you feel more yourself, Self-Expression, Maybe just to add some color. At times it's seen as an accessory for your outfit. Imagine wearing a really colorful, interesting outfit and then having a blank face it sort of makes The outfit feel lopsided in a way. There are people who do it for others but I wouldn't say that is a great reason. You could say it's a costume but I feel like things are always going to be a costume if you don't look the way you feel.

[@chattychatotchannel]

The draw water from the well makes me dizzy they should make that require less movement. But it’s an interesting game!

[@honeymelktea]

Hi, Morph! I think you would enjoy the game "Broken Age" by Double Fine. It's a beautiful puzzle game somewhat reminiscent of Harold Halibut.

[@kattwithcats927]

Absolutely screaming as morph doesnt see or clean the floors in the front of the tavern 😭💔

[@dolphinamoon]

I havenever been a bartender, but I have been a barista, and a waitress for many years. I have worked both for corporate and small family owned. At a corporate job, you have anuff people for the amount of customer's. Example you have a host, waitresses/waiters, cooks, dishwashers and so on. So I find this to be less stressful, however you do have to do the corporate lingo, and it's annoying. At family owned places for example I might be the hosts, dishwasher, waitress, and to go person. The cook is often the only other person in the building. This is very frustrating to both me and the customers when busy. However I must say that I enjoyed the atmosphere so much better. So it's a trade off. And unfortunately corporate often pays much better. I once had a slow job, I stood at a cash register for 8 hours. And I might have 1 customer a day, if that. I was required to look busy, but couldn't leave the register. I will say that the table beside it glows from my polishing all day. I hated it. Now I worked as a manager for a family owned subway once, best job I ever had. I could help when busy and hid in the back doing prep (very mind numbing) when I wanted to. I have found that I really enjoy mind numbing jobs, yes I will polish your silver all day, clean the nity gritty no problem... But I hate dishes, lol. I am very outgoing, so I enjoy people and those kinda jobs, but I have days when people are just too much as well. Found that I need something to do at work, I don't enjoy being bored, helps the time pass. I always just wanted to have a balance. Guess that's why I work for myself now. I have the luxury of being live and working with people or just being Recluse and making videos.

[@Miss_Distress]

I wanna play this!

if i ever trapped in isekai/fantasy world i might aswell open a tavern lol, since i hate fighting

[@TiphAndSmaug]

Well well well. You're litterally playing my life rn. As to answer your question about barrista/bartender, I have been a waitress and did lots of bartending for around 15 yrs and I personally do it for the adrenaline rush. When you're real busy adrenaline kicks in and damn that's addictive. On the opposite tho if it's real quiet I usually go home. I'd rather spend time with my dog 😅 I am the nightmare of my boss cauz I will close the restaurant at 10pm(instead of midnight) if I feel like it and there's nobody coming in🤣. And on another note, I dunno what happened to you for having such a low self-esteem but damn YOU'RE THE BEST stop doubting yourself. And you're handsome too I've seen the picture 🥴 Filter Make up or not. I get it tho I don't really like being around other people as soon as my shift ends. We love you here Morphy ❣
