Oct 14, 2019Finishing Mutazione feels like the end of a holiday with some incredible new friends that you really don't want to forget. The gameplay might be extremely undertone but the experience is far too wonderful.
-
Oct 8, 2019Mutazione is an atypical title in the medium, dedicated to those interested exclusively in the narrative experience who seek other ways of interpreting the medium.

Oct 21, 2019A beautifully made narrative adventure that focused on the dialogues between the neighbors. There is also a mystery to be solved.

Mar 5, 2020Mutiazone is a point-and-click game set on an island that brings in “gardening” gameplay. The story is moved on by sorting fictional plants in order to create gardens for the game’s characters. This is much more a personal story than a heroic one, and it leaves a warm impression. But while the game makes you think that you are reconnecting the island’s community, it feels like the real issue is being avoided.

Oct 7, 2019Mutazione isn’t a game to beat, it’s a game to play. We too often separate the idea of productive tasks from acts like drinking tea with a friend or trying to grow some flowers. But everything we do, if done mindfully, can be helpful for our own growth if we’re walking the right path. Everyone is their own garden, and Mutazione may make you a little more willing to plant the right kind of seeds for happiness.

Sep 19, 2019But the community itself is the important bit. The characters aren’t voiced, but they feel like they are. The text bubbles are sometimes animated, sometimes shaking with trepidation, sometimes small like a whisper, sometimes big with anger. And each character speaks accompanied by a sound. Miu, who becomes a close friend, is a lithe, cat-like creature with pointed teeth, and she sounds like the delicate plucking of violin strings. Jell-A, a sentient fungoid growth, is the town’s subterranean scientist, and his voice is squishy, but with a side of liquid dripping and bubbling in a glass flask. It’s excellent work.
