Kai has no idea what's waiting for her on the strange, isolated island of Mutazione. She knows her sick grandfather is there, and he needs help — but she wasn't prepared for an island of kind, gentle mutants, who've been living here since a meteor struck the town over 100 years ago. Now, Kai must tend to her garden, where the plants she grows may or may not be able to change the course of fate.
That's Mutazione in a nutshell, a game that's tender-hearted, but with a dark side. It's been out on PC, PlayStation, and Apple Arcade since 2019, and now it's making its way to Switch. It's an easy sell for anyone who loved the small-town spookies of Night in the Woods and Oxenfree, and we haven't even told you the best news yet.
Mutazione will be coming out on the Nintendo eShop on the 26th of May — that means you don't even have to wait a full week! We love a surprise release, we do.
Oh also, there's a physical release, which comes with a rather lovely botanical poster and a randomly-selected seed card, AND a vinyl soundtrack, too.
Will you be picking up Mutazione? Let us know in the comments!

Wow! As you said it looks like a cross between Night in the Woods, but with a hint of Spiritfarer. Will def check this out.
Feels like a Hayao Miyazaki kinda story, will definitely keep an eye on this one.
Wow, this looks great. Not sure I can buy it right now - and I have a sneaking suspicion it will get a physical release at some point. But it is definitely on my radar.
I really want for there to be some kind of Futurama tribute in there somewhere. I would accept an Easter Egg-type thing.
Played it on PS4 and had a really good time with it. Kind of feels like you're moving into a soap opera (in a good way) with the storylines going on around you, and the gardening mini game is quite relaxing
@JasmineDragon
iam8bit just opened up physical pre-orders for Switch and PS4.

Have you played this one, @KateGray? It seems promising, but I think you have more experience with this sort of game than I.
@RupeeClock Well, that was faster than I expected.
@COVIDberry I sure have! I haven't finished it, though, because I moved halfway through playing it (and now my PS4 is in storage) but I'll be playing it on Switch
Looks interesting, it seems to be immersive, but not fun. I can hope that it goes on Epic games or gamepass.
Played this on apple play using the free trial, honestly i would have paid for this game it’s so good and i was sad when i had finished it.
