Description

MUD BORN, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP

Mudborne is a casual nature management sim about discovering & breeding frogs!

You awaken from your hibernation to find your pond abandoned and empty. Through a combination of crafting minigames, menu management and puzzle solving, experiment with genetics to breed new frogs and recover what was lost.

Using the genetic keys of the new species you create you can unlock the paths between the waking and dreaming worlds, explore the land of those still hibernating, and embark on a journey to help restore the lost populations and find out what happened.

BE THE FROG

- Finally reach your life goals of becoming an actual frog!

- Catch (and eat) delicious bugs. Have another, treat yourself.

- TINY LITTLE FROGS YOU CAN CATCH AND CHASE

GENETIC ENGINEERING

- Genetically modify frogs to create weird and wonderful new species

SMALL FROG, BIG POND

- Utilise your frogs to uncover secrets and power your machines

- Hop between the waking + dreaming worlds to solve puzzles

Playtime: Mudborne will take most players 20-30 hours to finish (more if you're a completionist!

Mudborne is being created by ellraiser, one half of the indie-dev studio, TNgineers. A spiritual successor of sorts to APICO, Mudborne instead focuses on genetic manipulation and generational puzzles to create and discover all sorts of frog species, with experimentation being encouraged.

It originally started as a gamejam entry for FletchFest 2023, with the theme of ‘pond’. Ell had always joked about ‘what if APICO but frog?’ before, and this seemed a perfect opportunity to play with the concept and how to take things in a new direction.


A portion of the money made will be donated towards national and international amphibian, wetlands, and environmental charities to help keep our little green friends and their homes happy and healthy <3
