LOVED this game but it was entirely too short.
I was thoroughly disappointed with the ending, there was so much potential for this game to continue. We either could have been able to stay on for the rest of the summer returning for breaks (we only get to hear that this happens with no ability to play it), we could have been offered the ability to move on to playing one of the other characters. Even once the crisis is solved there is so much that could be done here, exploring locked doors, further investigation of the fung and under ground tunnels, the empty building, the small groups of plants in the background that could be accessed by one of the boats, filling in the missing information on the plants, utilizing the medical information given, planting outside of the 7 specific garden zones. I kept playing along the storyline hoping achievements would unlock a larger range of access and abilities but no such luck. I have to question why there are even so many save slots as there’s really only so much you can do and the small variations you can make don’t really affect the overall story. Hopefully the developers will flesh this game out a bit more and re-release.

One Big Oversight
I really liked this game and was into the story line pretty far and it finally got to the point where I couldn’t play anymore. As I was planting things in a new garden, I could never access the second or third page of my inventory. I found ways around it for a while, but now the one thing I need is on the last inventory page so now I can’t keep going. It’s possible that this is happening because I’m playing on my iPad and I don’t have a controller?? I’m not sure. I’m not going to buy a controller just for this. I tried emailing the company to find a resolution but they never emailed me back. So… good game - I wish they would fix the UI on it though.

A Game You'll Remember
Mutazione is one of those games you’ll just never get out of your head. The compelling storyline, the breathtaking visuals, the calming vibe, imaginative environment, and the lovable characters, really makes this journey a unique work of art. It may start of slow, you may be a little confused. But like picking up a book, the more you invest; the more you'll connect to the amazing experience. It’s always fun to predict what will happen next, your entire perspective will change once you finish the game. This is a game you simply MUST play. It’s one of a kind. I wish more games were like this.

I didn’t expect it to be so good.
So I was bored one day decided to browse through Apple Arcade apps see what’s new…i come across this app and I’m apprehensive about it because I have high expectations for games like these. I decided ultimately that I would play just 10 minutes if I wasn’t hooked I’ll just delete it no harm. I was HOOKED in 5 minutes. I pretty much didn’t stop playing until I got to the end and it still took me probably 3 days of playing whenever I could to complete. The story line…remarkable the graphics the nature of game play it was just so smooth and captivating. The sound track and satisfying sounds were an added huge bonus. I will probably replay this again. I want to lay it all out there for everyone but you really just need to start playing. If you like dialogue choice based games this is a winner!

Amazing different game.
I’ve never experienced this kind of game before. While it was a bit soap opera-like(too much at times), I stuck with it and discovered that the tasks were totally satisfying. I almost felt sad when the adventure came to an end and then I discovered that there was more to do via the gardens and letters.
A rare game that I didn’t need a walkthrough to get through it. A couple questions I might search online for tho. Great job guys. I look forward to your next work of art!
PS. I wish Kai could have changed into more appropriate jungle attire or something.

One of the best games on Apple Arcade
This game is honestly one of the most memorable games I have played thus far, amazing graphics, unique characters and plot. Not to mention how relaxing it is to play, with a calming soundtrack to listen to. It’s a rly well thought out game and I definitely enjoyed playing it. However, It’s a relatively short game that will probably take you a week to finish. And it doesn’t have a part 2 which is extremely disappointing, once your done with the game that’s it.

one of my favorites.
This game is probably one of the best i have played. It’s engaging, the graphics are amazing, the storyline is entertaining, the whole game is beautifully designed. Once i finished this game it left me wanting more! the personalization and decisions i had in this game were perfect. I love all of the plants and the whole concept, and i was never left confused. This game makes me extremely happy, it’s super fun and interesting. i keep looking for more games like this because this one was so good. i love the little hints, and the notebook was super helpful. The controls were easy for me to understand, especially with the game variety that i have. this game was a masterpiece, i hope you come out with more to this storyline. <3

Stole my whole heart
The pitch for this game often is
“mutant soap opera”. You begin the story traveling to an isolated community, and over the course of the game, learn about its inhabitants and their world, their joys and their troubles. This is a game about nurturing and gardening, life and decay, caring for people and plants and helping them grow through obstacles. It’s a deliciously slow narrative with the pace and depth of a novel, populated with vividly realized characters, colorful visuals, and an unforgettable soundscape. If this unusual game pulls you in with its big heart and open arms, you won’t soon forget the experience.

Absolutely Beautiful
This game was perfect. The colors, sounds, individual stories, timing, and overall storyline was just beautiful. I was so eager to play and when I had the time, it felt wonderful to keep with the slower pace and not rush through. This was relaxing and rewarding and strangely enough, it was even a good lesson that I didn’t know I needed. Being able to roll humor, reflection, family, meditation, knowledge, grief, and growth into one immaculate package like this is amazing and this is just the game that I’ve been searching for. Even if I didn’t know it before I started my journey 🙂

Great game but got reset?
First off this is a great game I would recommend to any friend. It’s rare for me to write a good review because not many games capture my attention for long enough for me to keep or find interesting but this game does that. However, more than halfway into the game my progress got reset when I came back to it. It made me start from the beginning and any ways I could get my progress back would be greatly appreciated.

Beautiful, stunning game
I absolutely loved this!! I got to play it for free with my apple arcade subscription, but I think it’s worth it to even pay $20 on Steam and other platforms.
At first, I admit I was a bit iffy on the mechanics. It was kind of difficult to control as I’ve seen in other reviews, clicking to collect seeds etc. was tricky. But, I’m so glad I gave it another try because I fell in love with the story!
I would love to go back to Mutazione again because the characters pulled me in. I became enthralled with all of their stories and loved them. Not to mention the gardening mechanic is beautiful… especially with Miu (trying not to spoil, lol)
Overall, I really recommend this game. It’s funny, sad at times, but most of all great to get wrapped up into! Also a perfect summer game, thank you creators!!!

Incredible game, play with sound and get immersed
WOW. Just finished this game after spending every evening for a week playing and then a full day today. A nice respectable chunk of play time.
I have always loved mobile games but this is truly next-level. There is no need to forgive and ignore issues and lackluster features because this game is polished.
The story actually moved me, the music made me happy and actually added to the story and my immersion in it.
I like to play while watching something to keep me busy when I’m relaxing, but this had my full attention and intrigued me the entire time.
To me a good game is one that needs no tutorial but it challenging enough to make you consider searching one and keeps you attentive to the details along the way.
You can run through the tasks as written or detour in the semi-open world and talk to different characters throughout their day for Easter eggs and deeper connections with them.
The art is gorgeous and unique and the gameplay is almost seamless. I cannot recommend this enough and I truly think the paywall was worth experiencing this and some other games. (Guildlings🥰)
What are you waiting for?? Start playing this game!!

One of the best games I’ve played!
I love almost everything about this game. The look of it and the music is fantastic. The story is excellent. The pace of the game is perfect. I never once wondered around confused on what to do, well after I figured out how to garden, It was clear. Which I love. Literally the only thing that was annoying at times was trying to gather seeds. Sometimes I would try to pick it up and walk by it like 5 times back and forth. Other than that it was a great game to play and I was sad when it was over but the ending was on point. Thank you developers for this wonderful game. You did amazing.

Such a beautiful game
I loved everything about this game: the story, the landscapes, the sounds and music, the animations... just everything! I didn’t want it to end. I’ll be looking forward to other games by the creators. Congratulations to the whole crew that worked on it.
The only thing I got annoyed at was that it was a bit tough to click on some of the speech bubbles, I had to walk by and quickly click on the bubble but it would take me a while to finally click on it. That’s the negative which is not that bad. I highly recommend this game to everyone!

I love everything about this game. The story, the art, the characters, the gameplay etc. It’s one of those games that you can still enjoy even if you’ve finished it before. There are so many plants in the game I haven’t collected every seed yet, but the gardening is so enchanting and magical and the exploration is such a nice experience even if I have to go back and forth. I would love to live in Mutazione if it were real. A small but friendly community with lush flora and interesting fauna as far as the eye can see. I love how they design the animals as well. It’s such a small detail but it really helps tie the atmosphere together.

Fun Game, Great Story, Amazing Characters
Okay this game is amazing. It really managed to find that sweet spot where it’s both a fun story and a great game to play, so you never feel like your just reading a book with occasional tapping, but you also don’t feel like the story is just put on the sidelines. The main character is fun to play and she feels like a real and genuine person, and what’s extra impressive is she actually feels like someone who is a teenager rather than a bunch of Hollywood cliches of what teenagers are like turned into a character. I never found myself feeling like she could never be an actual person. The story is super fun, and I love how they manage to have an overarching main story, and then a more wholesome soap opera story that still feels just as important as the main one. The characters are super fun and easy to become attached to, so you get quite invested in the story. The small side story with the red dots was also cute and it was always a little extra fun to see what they were up to. The songs were also really catchy, even when they where just gibberish. This was a great game, I’d totally recommend it to friends and I would really recommend giving it a play through!

Amazing game
This game was amazing. It had a heartwarming, touching story with elements of darkness, hope, and resolution. The sound and graphics were very calming/shaped my mood very well, and I loved Miu’s punk rock! I grew to love the characters and story very much, and I will admit I cried quite a few times while hearing the pain many characters had to go through. Though sometimes trying to harvest plant seeds was buggy, overall the experience of the game, through the storytelling and atmosphere, was an amazing one. I would strongly recommend to anyone who needs a heartwarming story in their life

The BEST
Okay, I've never have written a review for any game ever in my life. I purchased Apple Arcade because this game looked interesting. All I have to say, is that the story line of this game is beautiful. At first I didn't really get it, but it completely game together at the end. I stayed up to finish the game until 3am because I couldn't stop playing it. GENIUS. huge credits to anyone who had any take in making this game. I truly truly wish for another game to play by the creators. The only thing I would suggest is to.... MAKE ANOTHER GAME 😂 honestly this was so much fun to play. Game was easy to get and fun. Thank you!

Wonderful, beautiful game w/ variety
This one's different -- in such a good way. There's a clear story with engaging characters; searching for things and building things and choosing dialogue. I've not seen all of these various components together in one game. It was great! Also this game is very beautiful both visually and musically. I enjoyed talking my time to play which is unusual for me -- I actually finished it (rare) and was sad to have completed it. It was lovely, interesting and one can be creative in garden building -- which i really enjoyed. It's a unique sort of game and that's too bad because I'd like to play others like it. I noticed a tiny bug in the garden controls: I couldn't do the same action twice in a row -- the second time deselected. Barely noticed -- Highly recommended. Calm. Enjoy.

So Human it Hurts
I was initially unsure about this game, but it reeled me in so quickly with its beautiful music, wonderful atmosphere, and characters who’s lives feel richer than you could really hope to fully explore. The amount of times I gasped and grabbed my boyfriends arm in bed, shaking him to tell him about the drama that just happened chapter per chapter is probably a bit more embarrassing than I’d care to share.
It feels lived in. It feels loved. Amazing animation and work; thank you to the team for an experience I can’t wait to be able to relive!
