Mutazione

Mutazione is a "talking simulator" with essentially no gameplay. Each of the in-game days consists of talking to the same handful of characters until you find one who allows you to proceed to the next stage. And then you do exactly the same routine, multiple times a day, until the day's over - rinse and repeat for a week. Other than talking, there's also gardening which is foreshadowed as some kind of a big deal and vital part of the game but really isn't and feels lackluster. You could just plant whatever, play a song until it's grown, harvest the fruit you need, and never look back at that garden ever again. It's baffling because the devs evidently put a lot of work into it by adding dozens of different plants and even making a separate mode just for gardening, yet I never felt any incentive to play around with that. Even if you like this sort of thing, it seems rather limited and interface is not that great. I felt like half the playtime was spent on wandering the same locations over and over to check if there's a person to talk to. Writing-wise everything felt tepid. It's occasionally funny, but you won't be bursting out laughing. It's sometimes sad, but you won't be crying. Story was intriguing enough that I finished it in two days, but it's not particularly memorable. All characters, albeit likable and sympathetic, are rather dull. Despite heavy use of magical realism, it's quite mundane. I get that authors went for this down-to-earth vibe and it's totally fine. Refreshing and bold even. Not everything has to be flashy and sensational. It's just that I personally couldn't really fully connect with neither those characters nor the story. There are also a few moments that can make you raise your brow. Like a senile old hippie giving psychedelic drugs to his teenage granddaughter. Or a pregnant woman who can barely tell who the father of her child is, and then decides... Well, I'm not gonna spoil the conclusion to one of the major subplots; see for yourself.

Not quite finished it yet. It's a fantastic point and click style, adventure game about grief, love, and friendship. A really emotional story revolving around a small island full of ruins, home to a very close nit community of monsters and humans, each with a rich story and character. You experience this as you explore the island and learn more about not just the residence, but also the island itself.

I really enjoyed this story. The game itself is super linear; I believe that you can get some mildly different story beats depending on your dialogue choices but the end result is always the same. That said, the story is great and the characters really endear themselves to you. Mutaziome really hooked me with its visuals, story and music. Sometimes it felt a bit too slow, but that's a personal preference. Its a lovely game, worth enjoying especially if you're into visual novel type games.

This game is absolutely wonderfull. The characters are incredibly well crafted and feel so real. You really feel like they live around you and that they are not waiting for the hero to do things for them. I am very bad with words so I am not going to give the game justice, but this will be my reference on how to tell a story in a video game. It is incredible. Thank you Die Gute Fabrik and very very well done 💕

This game has such a nice atmosphere, it does such a good job in creating an environment of comfort and feels alot like home. The music is amazing and the art style is so cute. I'm so grateful for Prime Gaming to gift this game to me and introduce me to this game.I definitely recommend giving this game a try if you want a short cute story with unique characters and a nice vibe! I absolutely love indie games. if you like this game i would also like to suggest to give 'Once Upon A Jester' a try. also an indie game by a small developer and it is more on a humurous side but these two game have been one of the best small dev games I've played.
