Muffles' Life Sentence has about 192 positive and 6 negative player reviews out of a total 198. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.
You are Muffles, a surgically mangled inmate of the Maddox Prison System with a stolen past and the power to wear the faces of others. Freshly sentenced to life in prison with no memory of the crimes you’ve committed, you must go on a journey spanning a chain of prison islands to confront the Warden and discover the truth of your past.
From Mt. Hyup's frozen mountaintops to the sweltering desert of Jangus, travel the Maddox Nation over five gripping chapters full of twists, mysteries, and shenanigans. Gather allies, defeat your foes, and find out who you really are.

At Maddox Prison, every inmate is surgically altered to make their face and body match the crimes they committed. Meet a colorful cast of characters and rip their faces off.

Muffles: Faceless inmate with no idea how they ended up in prison. Did the surgeons really need to sew their mouth shut?

Scarlet: Pseudo-religious figurehead who has promised freedom in exchange for the Warden's head.

Shatter: Gang leader of the WARDEN KILLERS. He's mostly just recruited Pettys for now- but just you wait!

Constant: Anxious android security officer. He's gotten a bit addicted to shocking himself to help clear his mind. I'm sure that will end well.

Pettys: Petty criminals rendered spineless after a little soft lobotomy.

Half-Croc: Mostly teeth, anger, and a childhood filled with poor role models.
