NEW COZY GAME | Lake: Season's Greetings (Full Game Playthrough)

[@MadMorph]

My full playthrough of the original "Lake": kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2i1Xp2wj6qNftU Get cozy with my podcast of bedtime stories: youtube.com/@downtosleepextra

[@dancesmokesmile344]

You’re the guy from down to sleep? I had no idea 😂 I’ve been following that podcast for a while on KZbin. I guess I’ve been following two channels on KZbin with you without knowing they’re both the same person, haha. I like to read, but if I read I can’t sleep, since I won’t put a book down for anything at all until I’ve finished it, so listening to your podcast is a lot better when I’m going to sleep

[@MadMorph]

@@dancesmokesmile344 yep that's me! How funny!

[@josiemcardle4182]

Bit late to the party here.. but on the romance topic. I actually met my husband whilst working in retail at a gift shop just before Christmas. He came in wanting to buy canvasses for his family & I felt like I had been punched in the face by fate. I just knew this man was the man I was going to marry, very strange but very true. Everyday on the lead up to christmas he dropped off a coffee for me, then would walk me home after work. We've now been together 8 years and married 2. Everyone has a soul mate & my god do you know when you've met them. Merry Christmas everyone ♡

[@MadMorph]

Love this

[@chai-j1w]

not everyone has a soulmate but this is cute

[@christinelachance]

Christmas always comes with a bittersweetness. The nostalgia, the happy memories, they're special. As a kid, and now as an adult, it was and is my favorite holiday. While it might not be the same for me, there are traditions and magic my siblings and I get to share with my niece and nephew. Those kids are always excited on Christmas morning and it is infectious. This might be the year I teach my niece how to make pumpkin pie, if she's interested.

[@_KILLERPEEP_]

Right 😢 Xmas is always a hard time for me, ya know the sadness that things can't be the way they were. Also this will be my first Xmas after losing my brother recently on his birthday 😢

[@deliciouslyxrandom]

You mentioning getting into the christmas spirit really got me thinking. I personally celebrate Yule, but our children celebrate christmas because thats what all their friends celebrate. See, I've always hated the winter holidays. I come from a dirty poor broken home. But we obviously didnt want everyone knowing we were poor and bitter so it was days putting on an act, going into more debt for fancy outfits that were itchy and tight, going from house to house and being coached on what to say. It was exhausting. When i got older, i just refused to participate. I just wanted the peace i saw in all the movies. But life has a way of redirecting and i gave birth to my first and only child the day after christmas. I couldnt let her see how much i resented it and have that seep into her feelings of her birthday as well. She deserves to love anything she wants to without wondering if her mom thinks its okay. So i started getting up really early to experience that dark, peaceful quiet under a heated blanket with a steaming cup of coffee watching christmas movies, decorating, only using warm, soft lighting, a bit of christmas baking like muffins and pastries, and weirdly, playing a lot of crackling fireplace sound scapes. That and my little one finally did it and now i look forward to it every year.

[@toddellis3089]

Thanks for uploading! I play Robert in these games. It's really cool to see the character in action.

[@amandak.4246]

finding someone right for you matters more than having a good story to tell people about how you met, in my opinion

[@t00tt00t]

Respectfully, I kind of love the fact that nothing major ever happens in this game. It's more a feel good game and I think that's the charm of it. In a market where games are expected to have all kinds of twists and turns, I actually really enjoy these types of slow games That's just my opinion though, no hate to morph or others who think this game was lacking❤

[@coldinak1871]

I live in alaska so I see mountains like the ones in the game all the time! I have to say after a while you do get used to it but there are some days where they are extra gorgeous, typically in the beginning or ending of seasons. And when they get hit with golden hour or alpine glow. Also absolutely love your content and happy holidays!

[@brittanycerbone6008]

I live in Oregon and definitely take the beautiful scenery for granted. I agree tho that golden hour and certain times of day are just too magnificent to ever get old. ❤

[@abbyxiong3931]

I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. I'd love to visit Alaska and Oregon one day. The mountains are nice. 🏔️❤

[@chrisgormley7939]

MadMorph, dude, you would LOVE The Sound of Music. Promise! It’s a real heart warmer. Well done on your channels bud, my son and I love this one and Down To Sleep… listening to your bedtime stories each night. So nice. Also, just have to say, you come across as a really lovely and caring guy, whose concern for those around you, is really something the world needs more. Keep going matey 👍

[@AnxietyAddict]

“The truck’s been running like a song” Man has a goddamn broken radio. There’s no way he didn’t say this on purpose.

[@Beading_Kate]

I felt bad for Mildred when people rejected her sweaters that she had already made for them. I hope that they genuinely don’t have a clue how much work it takes to knit or crochet a sweater by hands. If they do… they are just a-holes.

[@elizabethmorales6148]

I was JUST thinking how much better your driving is & then you said it!😂 Sounds like someone different playing Meredith? Or maybe I’m just not far enough into the game yet. 💜the sound of crunching snow & the peace snow brings. Anyway, love these and love your commentary even more! Thank you Mr Morph!

[@MadMorph]

Thanks for this extra support!! :D

[@Drew_86]

Admittedly this is a strange thing to notice and comment about, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side. US postal trucks have the steering wheel on the right side. Its done so that, in rural areas with no sidewalk, the mail carrier can deliver mail in mailboxes without leaving the seat. Also, they aren't stepping into traffic during all their frequent stops.

[@ambermarek8506]

This game is super soothing. It really helped me relax 😊

[@PixelHachi]

This is such a cozy gameplay and it made me nostalgic, also because of the stuff you were talking about here and there. Thank you!

[@mariobecroft5770]

This lead me to watching your original Lake playthrough. I really enjoyed this beautiful, atmospheric and contemplative game. It employs the interactive game medium to speak to the human condition in a compelling way, and your playthrough left me with much to think about. Thanks Morph!

[@christinelachance]

Merry December, lovelies ❤

[@sarah13475]

After that description of your new cardigan I think everyone will be wearing one. A new essential wardrobe item! Thank you for having us along on your cozy ride delivering the mail. It is always a good time to relax and unwind with one of your videos. Hugs to you Morphy and all the other bears

[@nicolejames7411]

I allways fall asleep to your videos and not in a bad way you just have the most relaxing voice 😂

[@carylledelrosario9287]

"ill be your mailbox" "youll be my bookshelf" (?? 😂)

[@peppina981]

in finland we have a bunch of traditions around nordic holiday foods and pastries and I always try to start baking and enjoying as early as possible to maximize the joy, those smells trigger the feels faster than anything else 💫 thanks for another perfect comfort upload, and hope you’ll be less unlucky this season!

[@MsChaniD]

Presence is and always will be the greatest present. Time is so precious. When one spends time with another but is obviously not there fully, it can feel worse than if they never showed up in person at all.

[@twin3290]

I LOVE WEATHER, that's such a classic Morph line LMFAOOO

[@joytotheworld3338]

3:38:19 Emily says “opening us to up” instead of “opening up to us” like in the subtitles, wonder if that’s a glitch?

[@MadMorph]

good catch, maybe just a mix up when she was recording the lines

[@nirmitasharat7894]

34:42 "Great. Have you got any smut?" HAHHAHAHHAHA

[@coyotemint]

i just assumed you live with gobbo as butler but he rides around on your shoulder all the time because he's small. sometimes he's a little goat thank you for pausing to read all the book and movie titles, they cracked me up

[@giulianodenardi7654]

2:05:26 That's exactly what it feels like with me and my friend in our thirties hanging around

[@nokimama]

I have been dying to watch you live stream and was so happy to hear that your are hoping to again at some point when the time is right for you:) Thank you for all the good vibes and helping me get into the Christmas spirit! Happy holidays Morph!🎅

[@mariobecroft5770]

Just finished watching to the end. You're right - there wasn't much character development. Just a pleasant, nostalgic visit to Lake. I have to cast about for the pleasant, nostalgic childhood memories the game invoked for others here... but if it helped even a little, that's enough for me. Thanks for the playthrough and the conversational commentary.

[@Marley-Kabin]

@25:00 bears always look cute in cardigans, no question 🐻

[@rustyfisher2081]

Sheesh yeah that morgan story was one hell of a tonal shift

[@ceilingfan1813]

I love that you took the time to look at the silly movie covers. That's my favorite part of games like these. Some artist put work into making them funny, and you're making a point of looking at them and appreciating it.

[@aicarrie1]

Originally, I was determined not to play this version of the game because I am a big fan of Meredith, but curiosity finally made me buy the DLC. I am glad that I did decide to play the DLC because I enjoyed meeting new characters, and I enjoyed the jokes that I heard in the game. My favorite joke was when Thomas told the mechanic that not all of our daughters can follow in our footsteps. I believe that is what they call irony. The one thing that I did not like about the game was when I had to deliver some illegal fireworks to Frank. I got a little lost at point since I was trying to find a hidden location that was not part of the original game.

[@MiyaJadecube]

I'm only commenting for the cardigan reveal lol !!! 😁Actually ty for a new vid~ these have been lovely to decompress with after work, esp the cozy games. p.s. driving is immaculate 😏

[@melinaalba63]

Now i kinda wanna crochet you a christmas sweater😂 But honestly, i love the videos where there is not happening too much in the game and you just talk about stuff!

[@prettycheep]

always happy to see a new vid from you Morph!!

[@ireland1808]

Ahh it is so good to see the characters of Providence Oaks again. This time from a different perspective. I am really hoping there is a new element or mechanism to the mail delivery system : )

[@xxblasiankiddxx2369]

Me and my kiddos have a tradition of doing Saturday Christmas crafts for the month of December and instead of elf on the shelf, we have krumpus 😂❤

[@Liza-pft]

Hii, and yess a cozy Christmas game :D

[@Bulgera]

I discovered your channel a couple of days ago, I just LOVE your voice, it’s so soothing. I’ve started to play this, but it’s a bit difficult for me. My Dad was a retired mail carrier, and he passed away suddenly this year, so this is our first Christmas without him.🥺 Also, my game keeps crashing after the second day, it’s so frustrating. 😕

[@Twinnomadicflowa]

Well my first experience of Christmas was when I went to boarding school in high school and we had advent. My family didn't celebrate it but now I normally visit my sister and have a Christmas dinner with her family and in laws.

[@lukemcadamfilm]

first upload since I subbed! loved down to sleep for since the beginning but only just got onto your playthroughs, big thanks for the vibes, I'm so glad I found your channel:)

[@MadMorph]

welcome! And thanks! Love it when people come over from the podcast that's so cool

[@eileennovak1656]

About your jumper talk... Nothing nicer than wearing a great sweater. May I suggest you wait until the season ends, and get yourself a nice cashmere jumper? With sales, they can found for about the same prices as a regular sweater. The difference is amazing. (Warning: it'll spoil you, but I'd rather have one nice cashmere than a 100 acrylic. See if you don't agree.) And the trench is a timeless classic. Find one that fits, and you'll be well-dressed for life; they never go out of style. Most importantly, screw people, like me, who want to tell you what's what. Wear whatever you like!

[@LilyBlazel]

This is exactly what I needed to get me into the Christmas spirit ❤

[@crystaldavis825]

You got the most relaxing beautiful voice 😊😊

[@feraldelight]

Love the random dancing 😆

[@JasTheGoddess]

Thank you for the Ugg complement. I’m cracking up 😂😂

[@halfpintleesa297]

Just recently found your channel and have been binging video after video while studying for finals. I love the channel vibe so much, it's so inviting!!! The cardigan praise was so relatable 😭

[@UnnamedAndUnindicted]

TLDR: build 2 life skills: benefit of the doubt, and finding common ground. Something I've found very helpful in life is two things: 1 always give people the benefit of the doubt unless you have evidence otherwise. Everyone is so caught up in thoughts of themselves and their own lives they they rarely notice when they intrude on someone else, so how can i take offense? 2. When I'm struggling to get along to get along with someone i look for and highlight that persons positive attributes that i wish i had. It sounds strange but I've made so many genuine friendships with people i initially disliked. For example someone who argues a lot.. well guess what? I realized that they were really just standing up for themselves and i sonetimes wish i had more self-confidence in that area. Or someone that constantly nitpick ends up having a really good eye for detail and is thinking about the big picture and how seemingly little things impact other emplyees and customers. Teaming up with them improved my work life and the companies overall production.

[@embassybeets]

Favorite Christmas movie is definitely Elf for sure. And I'd love to be able to catch you stream. Maybe one day when you're able to!😊

[@CiaoBriella]

Lake was so cute, im happy to see them updating

[@orianamidence]

I put this video on to go to sleep and just ended up listening to it all because it was like chatting with a friend.

[@sarahowens8307]

The whiskerpedia thing… lake would have been referencing encyclopaedias … what Wikipedia is names after 😝

[@Marley-Kabin]

Ugg-style boots have never gone out of style for me (though I always get knock offs). Best winter boots for where I live! My booties and I accept your compliments thank you

[@Iera_Thaumaturgy]

9:23 you should have definitely watched it once! It’s such a great movie!

[@Naturebabi]

The original lake is such a good game. I’m so excited to watch this one.

[@suzymarie1976]

Here to say yes, you should watch the sound of music!

[@cindyrunz9838]

I just found you a couple days ago and I love your content! Your voice is really soothing too 😊

[@scarletrouge1997]

OMGGGGGGG I can't wait to watch this!!!! 😍 I was only wondering a couple of days ago if they would make a sequel!

[@chelseachelseaboomboom]

I just rewound, put on my sparkle uggs and let you compliment me. Cuz we do what we want around here. Thank you for the ugg love ❄️

[@missdire]

I lovely long video to unwind with after a long day of birthday prep and celebrating for my (now) 8 year old. I'm so excited. I was hoping for a BG3 vid, but I'll take anything! And almost 4 hours! Thank you, Morph. And merry December. Also, fabulous goose impression! 😂

[@MadMorph]

BG3 is coming, just doing longer videos spaced out now I think. Happy birthday to the kiddo!

[@missdire]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! And you have NO idea how excited your "happy birthday" is going to make him when I tell him. Thank you soooo much! 🩷

[@_theblindwitch_]

My favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard

[@velma107]

Time to play some dragon age and binge this ❤

[@MadMorph]

origins is one of my fave games ever

[@mystgirlone2166]

Ice skating is awesome, Morph! Just take a few basic lessons (or more as the fit takes you), so you learn to start, stop and move at will, rather than by accident. Friends, however well intentioned, are rarely teachers. If you've snow skied, The principle is the same. Just shrink the skis in your head and use the inner and outer edges of the skate blades to turn and stop. :) Mad fun though!

[@pagangamer87]

As relaxing as this game was, it sadly got boring for me after a while. I do appreciate you playing all these games for us, though, Morph. You make any type of game interesting and fun. Hope you have a lovely Christmas. 🎄 and have a brilliant new year. ❤

[@CGiles]

the two things i gotta watch at Christmas and new years time "Bernard and the Genie" (original) starring Lenny Henry and Alan Cummings, thats what i watch at Christmas. and "Blackadder: Back and Forth" at new years. I definitely recommend Bernard and the Genie as it's so feel good and all the Xmas music that plays gets you in a festive mood. it's so good!! but has to be the original as the remake is awful. I also like Love Actually.

[@amethyst5west]

Proudly wearing my Uggs in the PNW rn. Wanted to give kudos to the game devs for pronouncing "Willamette" the local way. ;) Thanks for the content Mad, keep it up! ♥

[@MadMorph]

UGG GANG

[@stilbreker]

My family usually eats potato salad and wiener sausages for christmas, well, christmas eve. For christmas day it's always different. I dont know what it will be this year

[@TheGirlGamer01]

My favourite musical is the sound of music m. You must watch it and let us know what you think

[@AnnieKonni]

I’m so gutted this is not available on the switch

[@marit2907]

Just wanted to let you know that I think your driving is great!

[@MochaHoneyBunny]

I just put on my uggs, thank you for complmenting me lol 🥾

[@MochaHoneyBunny]

Your driving is great. ☺

[@studyspodreaming7628]

This is adorable!

[@maiaisabellvreb7401]

I’ve already met the love of my life ❤and here’s the story: I’ve was a Emirates cabin crew. He’s dad was my pilot on a multi sector stopover flight from Dubai - Atens- NewYork, and back. And he sat in first class. At the time I’ve worked in economy. And I can tell you, he spent more time in economy, then he spent in his first class seat. That was 1,5 year ago. And truly both off us feel that we have met the love of our life ❤

[@lindasnyder6879]

My father made me leave a beer out for Santa.....

[@MochaHoneyBunny]

You have to watch sound of music !! It is a wonderful movie and love story !!! 💕

[@Sharonangel85]

Yay and right when we start december ^^

[@embassybeets]

I'm so basic my favorite Christmas food is mashed potatoes lol. Or sweet potato pie, yum. I like the unhealthy things lol. Oh the whole meeting someone, I met my partner in community college so I guess I got lucky lol. Although that doesn't mean I didn't use apps before. But I sat down next to him cause someone took my spot and his weirdo ass shook my hand😂 We became friends first and eventually we began dating. He's the nicest man and I couldn't help that I developed a crush and I got lucky that he also liked me back. He would help me a lot with school work and he still helps me a lot now. We've been together for 7 years now! Idk if it's really that cute of a story tho lol. But thought I'd share since you asked! "You're an adult that's falling apart" is exactly how I'd describe myself😂

[@VeroniqueHighwater]

I love your voice/accent. Reminds me of Richard Ayoade.

[@KatieAndCatburger]

At first I thought this game was boring, but then I found myself explaining the plot to my partner. "Yes you win a trip to Florida. No the game isn't about the trip. You don't go on the trip. It's not until September. Well, the real emotional climax is when your friend admits she has glaucoma. Yea, it sounds like she has a good treatment plan already and it won't get that much worse. Well, she can't read the labels, so that's a problem." Thanks for playing this one Morphy, I had so much fun watching

[@andimom2010]

Do fun!

[@giulianodenardi7654]

2:56:11 I don't know why it bothers me so much that the reporter doesn't change the position of the microphone in this interview.

[@prettyhalo2girl]

I played Lake on game pass. I really loved it and wanna play this but then I'd have to buy the base game too and I'm broke so maybe in the future! But alsoooooo The sound of music discord movie night?! I'm a sucker for musicals. anddd who doesnt love Julie Andrews? Loved her in Victor/Victoria too!

[@missdire]

Speaking of the discord... I joined Morph's discord, but there's literally only 3 channels, and none that I can interact on. Am I missing something? 😫

[@rachelsuegoodman]

Lol I've got ugg slippers on and I'm shutting my blinds haha uggs are awesome! More shoes need to be this comfortable!

[@GaynorEvans-bn4pg]

I love this game. Absolutely you should watch Sound of Music! It's awesome Morph.

[@Enocia]

The sound of Music is something I think everyone should see at least once in their life. Also, you are fired. Watch your Christmas movies!

[@joerussell6021]

HI, always love your game ,had to watch it twice because I fell asleep😂. umm, sound of music is a classic, but maybe out of date. and best Christmas move to watch is "The Muppets Christmas Carol". 🥰

[@samidabunbun6155]

2:11:30 I was literally going to say at a bookstore 😂

[@harvestmoonx]

brussel sprouts were my villain origin story

[@Ya-Ya-Ya-I-Am-Lorde]

It cracks me up that they changed the main character model but kept the same walking animation 😂

[@elizabethmorales6148]

How many instant coffees do you still have? 😂yes! I did that with bananas! I thought it was per banana so I ordered 10 and I got TEN BUNCHES😅! Every time I talked to someone, “hey you want some bananas?” Sent pic to my brother only to find out he had his own pic of same thing! Must run in our family! 😁

[@satines6045]

Is this the voice of Lucan Valerius from Skyrim?

[@nicholeashman6623]

I'm watching this late but yes I'm wearing Uggs. 😅

[@KaylaJohnson1995]

OMG THERE’S A SEASON GREETINGS ONE YESSS

[@Willow-Rose]

The more I watch of your content the more I love it! I feel like we are buddy soul mates lol, at least your online persona could be my BFF lol.. Keep up the amazing work dear!

[@satinswan1979]

Between the newscaster and the red haired guy, how did this DLC /not/ have violence? Holey mackerel!

[@samidabunbun6155]

I do still wear my uggs but that’s because they’re expensive and the only snow boots I have 😂

[@mymblemeep9383]

Aaaaaaaaahhhh I really wanna watch this but I also really wanna play this myself first, so it’s going on the watch later list 😬

[@eldupont3095]

how did this wool allergy story work for them? acrylic yarn exists!
