Morgana Watson and the team at 4Phase Aotearoa are a Ngāmotu-based indie game studio creating original games grounded in te ao Māori and designed right here in Taranaki / Aotea.4Phase Aotearoa was founded on the idea that our stories, our culture, and our worlds belong in games too. As a local studio, the team blends Māori narrative, speculative sci-fi/ fantasy/ adventure, and interactive design to create experiences that are authentic and future-focused.
Their latest project is TIPUA, a tabletop roleplaying game set as a prequel to their upcoming digital title. TIPUA is a narrative-driven game where players take on the role of elite guardians navigating a universe shaped by whakapapa, wairua, and cosmic imbalance. It combines myth, strategy, and collaborative storytelling, allowing players to shape the direction of the world through their choices.
Set on an alien planet within the constellation of Matariki and under the star of Waitī, The players are put right into the heart of an event that shapes the next chapter, years later in ARIKI: The Kaitiaki Saga
