Kai travels to the isolated island community of Mutazione to care for her ailing grandfather. More than a century after a meteor transformed the island and its survivors, she finds a close-knit town with old secrets and complicated relationships.
Explore the island and spend time talking with its residents, learning about their lives and the dramas unfolding around them. The story advances through days divided into time periods, with Kai’s conversations and encounters revealing more of the community.
Collect seeds and plant them in garden plots around the island. Different plants produce musical tones that combine into garden melodies; gardening and a spiritual journey are woven into Kai’s involvement with the town.
Many reviewers enjoy getting to know the island’s residents and their intertwined stories, and praise the distinctive art, sound, and calm atmosphere that make the community inviting to explore. Musical gardens are another recurring highlight. Some players, however, find the slow pace and limited interaction less engaging, and a few criticize the linear dialogue or translation.
A mutant soap opera where small-town gossip meets the supernatural...
MUTAZIONE is an adventure game where the juicy personal drama is just as important as the high-stakes adventure part of the story.
Explore the community as 15-year-old Kai as she travels to the strange and secretive community of Mutazione to care for her ailing grandfather, Nonno.
Make new friends; plant musical gardens; attend BBQs, band nights and boat trips; and embark on a final spiritual journey to save everyone from the strange darkness at the heart of it all.
Over 100 years ago, the meteor “Moon Dragon” struck a tropical holiday resort. Most of the inhabitants perished, while those who survived began to show strange mutations... The rescue missions quickly retreated, and those who remained in the mutating environment founded the small and isolated community of Mutazione.
Fast-forward to modern day, where you play as 15-year-old Kai as she travels to Mutazione to help nurse her dying grandfather back to health. But things aren’t as simple as they seem... Nonno has other plans for Kai; secrets and betrayals simmer under the friendly community’s surface; and there’s a creepy bird-like figure who keeps on appearing in Kai’s dreams.
They can survive an apocalyptic meteor strike, but can they survive their small-town drama?
