Evaluation

Mutazione launched on September 19, 2019 and received a series of free post-launch content updates over the following three years: Garden Mode (January 2020), the 7 Gardens update (October 2020), and the Penpal story epilogue (October 2021). On September 19, 2022 — exactly three years after launch — the developer published a post introducing the final batch of seeds to the game's garden system, explicitly describing it as "the final update to Mutazione" and stating that development was ending. The post included a link to a formal farewell blog post from publisher Akupara Games. Since then, only a maintenance patch was issued in December 2023 to fix Mac compatibility issues, which is consistent with a completed game receiving minor technical upkeep. No further content has been announced. The game is complete, with its content having fully wrapped up on September 19, 2022.

About this game

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?
