Morgan: Metal Detective

About this game

Morgan: Metal Detective is a first-person, cozy metal-detecting adventure game. It combines exploration, creativity, and a cozy atmosphere into a heartwarming adventure.



Everyone on the island is searching for something, Morgan must search the island with her metal detector to find these lost treasures. Each of these quests asks you to engage and really think about the potential location of the lost item. On returning, each of these characters rewards Morgan with a unique cassette tape which you can listen to whilst you’re exploring. This music and the detailed audio soundscape throughout Glasden helps to place you in this magical environment. Lose yourself in the quests and lovely audio.


Use you metal detector to search for hidden treasures (and maybe some rubbish) hidden just below the surface

As you explore the island using your trusty metal detector, you will find many types of items hidden underground. You can take these items to Cenna’s shop, exchange them for credits and purchase new sticker packs and film for your instant camera. You can then decorate the journal with these stickers and the photos you’ve taken. Express yourself in the in-game journal.

The game features a brilliant original score and fantastic voice acting, featuring BAFTA nominated Charlotte McBurney as the titular Morgan, who voices Amicia in the A Plague Tale series of games.
