it is a beautiful day in the wetlands and you are a friendly dusky moorhen
You are a dusky moorhen in a wetland in (so-called) Australia
You are one of many residents here.
Your neighbours include various kinds of ducks, the occasional swamphen and coot, some herons, lots of non-water birds, dragonflies, frogs, spiders, other insects, nodding saltbush, tall spikerush, slender knotweed, and many other plants. And of course your family of dusky moorhens!
Recently, humans have been visiting the wetlands. Some of them just pass through, but you want them to really feel part of the wetlands, because they are. Every being who touches the wetlands is a part of it, so it’s important to be conscious and careful and kind about each interaction.
You’re going to make friends with all of them so they feel welcome and connected here!

a very fun game! definitely worth the price for just what it taught me about australian wildlife, without even mentioning how much i enjoyed playing it :) thanks for the awesome game!
I’m so glad to hear it!! Thank you for playing 😊
What a stunner of a game! A beautiful introduction to moorhens for me, I really enjoy the focus on the relationships between your moorhen and the humans! Honoured to have helped this incredible game in its journey to being the marshy goodness it is!
Hi Logan! I finally got around to doing a playthrough of this fabulous game and had the best time ever! I really enjoyed the reflection questions at the end, and getting to tell a story about my plucky young moorhen and all the friends they made out of the humans coming to the wetland! I wrote up my playthrough here, if you're interested :) thanks for the great game!
This is such a beautiful playthrough Riwhi, I teared up and laughed while reading. Thank you so much for playing with such gusto, and for sharing 💚
