Review
     From ALL the Adventure games that I have played, I found Morpheus to be one of the best...I would rate this game between an 8-10 on a scale of Adventure games....[1 being the lowest and 10 being the best of the best!]. Morpheus is a game for Adventure game lovers. You will be submerged into a world somewhere between the Titanic [not the game!], and the Phantom of the Opera. This game is full of adventure, many puzzles within puzzles, and many different "worlds" or "dreams" to visit.
     The game begins in the 1950's, where you find yourself aboard a ship that has been icebound for nearly 70 years in the Arctic. You play a character who is seeking out the truth behind the disappearance of your father. You find out much later in the game what has happened to him....not to mention the others on the ship! The ship was especially designed by J.C. Pharris for his adopted son, Jan, and his experimentation with a machine he calls the: Neurographicon machine. Six very special guests have been invited on the Herculania's maiden voyage.  
     Unbeknownst to them, they are about to embark on a personal crusade of Jans [the adopted disfigured son of Jonathan Cleveland Pharris].  
     J.C. Pharris has spared no expense in accommodating his passengers and their needs and/or wishes.  Each passenger shares a "history" with Jan, JC or each other in one aspect or another. Each of their rooms have been customized to their likes and dislikes. An Assistant, Dr. Malherbe, is there to help Jan provide the correct herbal serum for each passenger so that they may take the "journey into their dreams."
     The Herculania began it's maiden voyage to the sea on November 17, 1928 and ended it's journey stuck in the frozen ice 3-5 days later. It has been stuck in the ice ever since. Where did everybody go? Were they rescued, did they freeze to death, or are they still aboard the ship? You will soon find out.
     I found this game to be a WONDERFUL game, and I very HIGHLY recommend this game to all who are as addicted to Adventure games as I am. You will not be disappointed. Many of the puzzles are somewhat difficult, but by paying attention to the "visions" or "flashbacks", taking notes and sheer perseverance can be solved. A few of the puzzles I found quite difficult but managed to get them and finish the game.
     You will NOT be disappointed in this game. That, I promise!
     Take care all....and look for MORPHEUS to fly to the top! In my opinion, this game has the potential to match Myst, Riven, Lighthouse, Shivers, and even Black Dahlia!

Check out the pool area, the free weights [which weights are missing?], the rowing machine, the jogger machine, the boxing ring and the scale.

Exit the elevator, turn around and head for Leo Galtes doors. Enter the code and push the left button [see picture spoiler below].

desk. [see picture below]

Continue investigating the other 4 rooms upstairs, being sure to make notes on the items in each room and the locations of the video postcards. When you have looked and made notes for each room, leave the Boarding House and return to the police station. Using the keys and jail cell assignments, in combination with the colored names and matching push pins, and with the items within each of the jail cells and boarding house rooms, take one colored push pin at a time and insert it into the appropriate location on the maps. Solution below!

LULU [blue] = Hong Kong harbor, tea cup, jail cell # 4
KITTY [aqua] = Rome, flowered hat box, jail cell # 5

When all push pins are placed correctly on the 6 maps, a rose will appear. Put the rose in Molly’s Flower cart. The first of 3 puzzles in Leo’s dream world has been solved.

Now head for Smedley’s Pub. Look at the beer handle dispensers behind the bar. Note each handle design carefully. Now look around the bar. There are 6 booths, darts on each booth table, and a dart board over on the wall. Move left to the first table. Select a dart and throw it.
If it is the correct dart, the matching beer handle will dispense beer. It if is an incorrect dart, the dart will return to that table. Try again! When you have thrown the correct dart, move to the next table. Continue throwing the darts until you have been to each table and have matched all six darts with the corresponding handles. When you finish the sixth and final dart, all beer handle dispenser will begin dispensing beer and a secret passageway will open behind the fireplace.
Enter the secret passageway and then move towards the boxing ring. Right up Leo’s alley, huh?
You know what to do with the rose.

Remember that missing dog, Muffy? Head back to the police station and take a look again at the missing dog sign on the desk. “Last seen at Sweeney’s Meats!” Head there now [to the left of
Smedley’s Pub, down the street and across the street from Henchley Bro. Merchant]. Enter Sweeneys. Click on the dog tag and flip the tag around [see picture below].

Remember the phone at Ms. Pettibones Boarding House? Rush over there and answer the phone! What did he say about “winding up at the Morgue?” Uh oh., better go check it out. Now there’s somebody there. Go ahead, don’t be afraid. Take a closer look!
