Awoken from a long hibernation, players are invited to explore the enchanting world of Mudborne, a game that promises to blend creativity with a touch of mad science. Set against the backdrop of an abandoned and ruined pond, the game encourages players to engage in genetic manipulation of local frogs and plants to restore their environment. With a release date set for March 20, this unique title from developer TNgineers is generating excitement among gamers.
Gameplay and Features
In Mudborne, players will embark on a journey filled with puzzles and challenges across various frog generations. The game features a combination of crafting minigames, menu management, and puzzle-solving elements, allowing players to experiment with genetics to breed new frogs and recover what was lost. As players navigate through the game, they will encounter eight distinct species of frogs, each with its own quirks, including some sporting charming little hats.
Players can also catch and eat bugs, adding an element of whimsy to the gameplay. TNgineers describes the experience as a delightful mix of spiritual exploration and lighthearted silliness, setting it apart from their previous title, Apico, which focused on the conservation of honeybees.
Environmental Commitment
Continuing their commitment to environmental causes, TNgineers will donate a portion of the proceeds from Mudborne to national and international charities dedicated to amphibian conservation, wetlands preservation, and environmental health. This initiative reflects the developers’ dedication to not only creating engaging gameplay but also fostering a positive impact on the planet.
Where to Play
Mudborne will be available on Steam, and players can also try a demo on Itch.io. As anticipation builds for the March release, gamers are encouraged to keep an eye on this innovative title that promises to blend fun, creativity, and environmental awareness in a captivating package.
In addition to Mudborne, TNgineers is also working on another project titled Snacktorio, described as a factory-cooking simulator where players must satisfy the appetites of unspeakable horrors with food. This intriguing concept hints at the developer’s penchant for combining humor with gameplay, ensuring that their future titles will continue to capture the imagination of players.
