Enter our world!

Welcome to the neon-covered, 2D-meets-3D cyberpunk world of ANNO: Mutationem. In this action adventure game with RPG elements, you become Ann, a highly-skilled combat-trained lone wolf on a personal mission in a giant Metropolis, full of sinister mega-corporations, mysterious fringe groups, and creatures more bizarre than words can express.

Explore, Discover, and Return – Exploring diverse locations such as huge cities and complex underground structures, players are free to go as they please, returning to previous areas and unlocking new events.

A Dark, Twisted Plot – A grand story befitting a rich and dark cyberpunk decor, featuring our main hero Ann and her trusty hacker sidekick Ayane.
