Play is disappearing from public life. But it's not too late!
If we take even a fraction of what we pour into in a wasteful, extractive games industry and use it to engage the playless majority such as those in care homes, we can take the first steps to address play inequality.

You love to see it, a reviewer for MORSE building their own telegraph input to operate the game, I'm honestly so excited to see how this kind of grassroots alt-ctrl experimentation continues to manifest. Also very sweet they told me to not rush : )

One of my dreams for MORSE is providing educational materials so audiences can enhance their experience of the game with an alternative controller using a real telegraph and some DIY electronics. Watch this space ๐

I'm very excited to hear more stories of people using MORSE to explore their heritage!

It plays really well on the steam deck, I absolutely love it as a platform, the fact you can get your game working on a console in like an afternoon without all the hoop jumping is incredible m.youtube.com/watch?v=hseF...
