Mutazione [Nintendo Switch]

Mutazione from Akupara Games and iam8bit for the Nintendo Switch 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.

Mutazione (pronounced: mu-ta-zi-O-neh) means “Mutation” in Italian, which is a perfect pontification for what the game achieves. Developer Die Gute Fabrik deftly defies convention, altering the standard tropes of game narrative at the molecular level. What begins with a girl named Kai arriving in Mutazione to take care of her ailing grandfather quickly spirals into something unexpected, charming and emotional.

Small-town gossip fuels the community of oddball personalities, brimming with talk of backstabbing and venomous secrets. Toss in Lynchian hooks like magical musical gardens and intense dreamscapes and, well - you’re starting to understand what makes this game tick.

iam8bit is proud to partner with Akupara Games to bring fans this much-awaited definitive edition of this award-winning marvel of narrative design.

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 hear 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... They can survive a apocalyptic meteor strike, but can they survive their small-town drama?
