What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I put my all into the development of Mutation and after a year of work I decided to release it in early access. I plan to improve the game with you during Early Access and beyond. I'm counting on the community to make Mutation an increasingly original and entertaining game. This is why I will listen to you with the utmost attention.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It will depend on the feedback and opinions I receive from you: my goal is to finish the early access phase within a year. This way I will be able to offer you a game worthy of your time and money, which will keep you entertained for years or at least months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Mutation is a profound experience in its simplicity, with several gameplay elements. However, in the Early Access phase I plan to refine the game features based on feedback from the community. Furthermore, I plan to significantly expand the procedural nature of the game itself by adding new levels to explore, with new enemies and adversities. The new levels should allow you to create new resources and build objects and countermeasures to counter new threats.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the "Information about the game" section you can find out what I offer at the moment. I'm convinced that even in Early Access you will be able to enjoy many hours of fun: the game is generally calibrated and balanced in such a way as to remove the possibility of unnecessary frustrations, although Mutation remains a challenge in any case. I will accept any advice from the community regarding improving the gameplay.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“it is likely that the full version of the game will feature a modest price increase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I plan to get you players involved through the official Discord channel and on the Steam forums. I am very sensitive to the wishes of the players since I am one myself and I want to satisfy you, make you feel listened to and give you the best product I can conceive.”

About This Game

A shapeshifting horror

"That blaspheme abomination adapts as quick as a nightmare; now it's a beast, now its fluids are corrosive, now it spits acid, now it lays eggs around to bring waves of apocalypse to the world, now the bioluminescent appendages it chases our hope with blind us all. We know up to 144 mutations of that being and our bowels gave us the perfect answer to survive them all... running."

A twisted, ever changing labyrinth

"Our hope is trapped in a morphing labyrinth, their brain tarnished by fear and dread. Their senses, blurred among horror shadows, crawl in twisting corridors, looking for an exit, a mirage only proved real by the items laying around this god-forsaken facility.

What hides behind the next door? Heaven? Hell? Or... another nightmare?"

Craft, heal and survive

"Our resolve holds the culmination of all our mistakes and efforts, the Chronus Abyssus. Survival wouldn't be possible without the item-combining, nutrient-absorbing and all those other features in such a fatal environment. We need our hope to survive and retrieve our equipment as well..."

Leave your humanity behind

"May our desires be sacrificed to the heart of Dagon to surface from the pit of madness. Sacrifice arcane resonances and part of your soul forged by the experience of countless deaths to survive longer and longer."
