Mutropolis is a lighthearted point and click adventure where you search for an ancient missing city in a distant future where Indiana Jones movies are thought of as documentaries!

1.Mutropolis - I just love pointing and clicking :) This game is obtuse and ridiculous and that’s exactly what I want out of this genre.

2.Unpacking - Truly beautiful storytelling. Like, I can’t stop thinking about the protagonist’s pet beetle and how that one item tells you all you need to know about her friendship with her bug-loving first roommate.

3.Going Under - This game was such an emotional roller coaster for me, from boredom to sadness to fun to frustration to sadness again. I really adored it but the personal low points made it so I can’t truly say that my experience with this game was better than my experience with Unpacking.

4.Golf Peaks - A satisfying puzzle experience!

5.Before Your Eyes - The more I think about it, the more I’m like “Yeah, this didn’t totally live up to the hype.” The story is nice but nothing really special, and the controls, though unique as they claim, are a bit janky.

6.Dead Cells - I guess if anything is going to finally make me admit to myself that I just don’t enjoy metroidvanias, it would be a genre fusion where an excellent roguelike is bogged down by having to collect movement upgrades.

7.The Tail Makes the Fox - There’s some anime grossness to this one. The writing is really fun, though, and having partially replayed the game in English I can confirm that’s not just me thinking everything written in Spanish is literary gold.

8.Starseed Pilgrim - At the end of the day I really have no idea what this game was or even if I was playing it right, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it nonetheless.

9.Bit Rat: Singularity - The themes of technology and AI made my eyes glaze over a little bit and made it kind of hard for the solid puzzles to hold my interest but, again. The puzzles are solid.

Mutropolis is about a team of archaeologists from the distant future who have come to Earth to research what we would consider modern Earth. Lots of those “person from the future doesn’t recognize mundane things” type jokes and they hit every time. The head of the team is kidnapped and the rest have to go to the titular forgotten city to rescue him. The story gets absolutely batshit and, of course, the puzzles do as well. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I did have to look some things up, but for the most part I thought the puzzles were fair (as long as you’re already attuned to the wacky logic of point-and-click adventures). The only parts I find myself upset over are the ones where you have to input a password or sequence. There are three of these moments I can think of off the top of my head, where the code you’re supposed to use is pretty obvious but somehow still leaves a frustrating amount up to interpretation. Asking the player to make creative logical leaps is fine with inventory puzzles, but when something requires the player to enter a strict sequence, that answer needs to be a little more clear.

Review - Mutropolis

What makes this game feel like an homage to those older titles is its challenge. Older adventure games required a lot of trial and error, trying a random assortment of everyday items on other items to solve its puzzles or obstacles. There is plenty of this within Mutropolis.

The game opts for giving the player a large amount of objects to acquire, which will mostly all be used at one point to get past certain obstacles. It also means you’ll be doing a lot of revisiting areas; talking to everyone and exhausting every dialogue option; and using trial and error with plenty of objects in unorthodox ways.

I personally got stuck a number of times but eventually found solutions. I would say that this is one of the more challenging adventure games I’ve played in a while. This isn’t necessarily an issue with the game, but I want to put it out there as a heads-up for those looking for a more casual or narrative-driven experience.

Mutropolis sci-fi adventure now has a release date in Linux gaming, Mac and Windows PC. Thanks to developer Pirita Studio.
