About this gameFull description from Steam
Morels is a relaxing adventure game about mushroom hunting and wildlife photography. Find as many morel mushrooms as you can while capturing photos of wildlife that you encounter, all while enjoying the sounds and experiences of nature surrounding you. Starting in the southeast region of the United States, you will get 100 days per season as you unlock new regions along your journey and discover hunting secrets, along with a few surprises! Collect and learn about many different kinds of mushrooms, edible and poisonous ones. Earn points and level up your Mushroom Hunter Level. Earn points from photographing animals and objects. View your photos you have taken in your photo book. Upgrade your Photographer Level. Earn points from finding mushrooms and photographing wildlife to buy valuable items in The Shop like bug spray to prevent ticks, first aid kits, raincoats to help preserve energy on rainy days, a headlamp for night hunting, upgraded camera and even a horse or an ATV to ride around on!

Features mythological creatures from real life stories of the forest like Bigfoot! Exploration Mode: Play as an animal! You will also be rewarded a point handicap! Unlock new animals and have fun exploring, although this mode does not count towards achievements or records. A note from the developers: We are a small but very passionate team of brothers. We loved morel mushroom hunting growing up. We still do it every year. One of the greatest things about mushroom hunting is just being out in nature. We take a lot of photos while we are hunting which is how the game came about. We wanted to create an immersive experience of being out in nature, mushroom hunting, and photographing the beautiful environment around you into a game, without having to hunt something with a weapon. Although one of the main goals of the game is to collect mushrooms, it Is Not a mushroom hunter simulator. Morels is an adventure game that focuses equally on mushroom hunting and photographing animals. if you have any feedback, questions, or problems with the game please don't hesitate to contact us. Other Notable Features Explore and discover new collectables like dinosaur bones. Over 50 animals to discover and photograph. You can now even swim and photograph fish. Enjoy a new experience each season you play. New mushroom locations, animal activity, weather, and more. Take on weekly tasks including finding a certain number of mushrooms or photographing specific animals to get extra points. 7 unique maps across the Unites States with exciting terrain and surprises! View all your photos in your photo book. They are also saved to your PC to view anytime! Learn tips and tricks inside your Hunter’s Manual to help you throughout the season. Unlock new pages by moving up in hunter levels! Customize the game to your interests by choosing from a broad list of different music or just enjoy the calming sounds of nature.
