Mudborne
If I gave you 870 guesses what Mudborne might be about, you’d still never get to: a casual, frog-breeding genetics sim. Because you’re a big old dummy.
This is, extraordinarily, genuinely what we have here, in a game so bizarre-sounding I’m not even going to try to pithily sum it up in my own words, but rather just paste what was in the email:
You use your different frogs to affect the world, and open portals between a waking and ‘dreaming’ hibernation realm – kinda menu management crafting minigames meets link to the past world exploration + puzzles! for example you use really angry frogs to melt ice, or really hungry frogs to clear deadly algae blooms
Yes please, I would like some of that.
It’s by ellraiser and TNgineers, who previously created a beekeeping sim, APICO. Mudborne is TBA, but there’s a demo on the Steam page.
