Mutazione is a narrative based game with strong ambience, fascinating and likeable characters, a lovely and unique art style, and a story that keeps you coming back for more.

The basic gameplay is point and click exploring, with some whimsical musical elements, but the story is the main focus. The pace is pretty leisurely, apparently you can finish everything in 6hrs but it took me twice that. If you're the type of person who wants to explore every bit of dialogue like I am, you'll probably enjoy Mutazione.

The creators are so good at capturing the essence of small town life that they made me nostalgic for a place I've never been to before. From a technical perspective, I didn't experience any bugs, the game feels well made. I docked it half a star just because the ending didn't full deliver the gut punch I would've desired (it felt a little bit rushed?) but that could just be personal taste.

This quickly became one of the games I'm most likely to recommend to friends, putting it on the same shelf as games like Kentucky Route Zero and Night in the Woods.
