Mudborne Game - Uma visão geral
It’s no coincidence that two of the frog’s traits map to the temperature + moisture of your cultivators…
For example, if you place cultivators in the water outside the Carpenter's Shop for easy access in the waking world, only mushrooms capable of growing in water will spawn in the cultivators.
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.
In the demo there’s only a few mushrooms just to ease people into the trait modifications, but there's a lot more strange mushrooms to find in the full-game with some challenging modifications to master!
Those are the main areas, but there’s also some other bits and bobs that’ll be included or expanded upon in the full game, such as:

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.
You’ll also have more control over viewing and modifying traits, reverting generations, cloning generations, mass-producing frogspawn/tadpoles - plus plenty of other frog species and variants to find and experiment with.
You’ll need to explore all the regions and meet up with the different members of the salvage team to work on fixing their problems and restoring each part of the pond, from clearing the algae that’s taken over the kindergarten pools, to draining the flooding of the residential district.
The game is still in development, with a release aimed for Mudborne Game 2025. You can follow along with progress and devlogs in the Discord, be sure to give it a wishlist to be notified of release! You can play the demo below.
Followed Mudborne is a casual nature management sim about discovering & breeding frogs! Awoken from hibernation you find your pond abandoned.
With a careful blend of using the right kind of compost to encourage mushroom growth and a sharp attention to the weather forecast, you’ll find all sorts of mushrooms in Mudborne. Use them to make different magic mud recipes and change the next generation’s A.N.O.U.R.E.S. stats.
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
Through the genetic keys of new species you must unlock the paths between the waking & dreaming worlds, and embark on a journey to restore lost populations.
