The world is split up into seis main regions, the area shown in the demo is the first region of the full-game and acts as the tutorial region of sorts! Once you leave this region the game opens up, allowing you to explore multiple areas at your own pace, in any order you see fit.
If you’re brave enough to go foraging in real life, then you’ll know how picky mushrooms can be about their growing conditions, and you’ll find that to be more than true in Mudborne.
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.
Act quickly, for failure to manage your situation will cause a rapidly-spreading merciless threat to the entire facility itself - a Rift Breach
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.
With certain mushrooms rarer than others and somewhat difficult to come by because of this, you'll want to save your rarer mushrooms for when you really need them (or at least until you've stocked up on a wealth of them).
For a hint at which mushrooms you'll need to alter genetics required to open Reflection Ponds, check out the little signs just beside the pool itself - these offer a hint at which mushrooms to use in your magic mud to create the frog that opens that Pond.
You awaken from your hibernation to find your pond abandoned and empty. Through a combination of crafting minigames, menu management and puzzle solving, experiment with genetics to breed new frogs and recover what was lost.
With two dozen unique mushrooms to discover around the various Atlas sections, you’ve got your cultivating work cut out for you!

I introduce ancestry towards the end of the spawning pools - I didn’t want to have things too complex just for the demo/tutorial region, but in the full game there’ll be a lot more advanced frogs requiring some clever magic mud across several generations to form.
When you spot them, mushrooms need to grow from spores before you can collect them, which takes a bit of in-game time. This can be frustrating as the weather conditions change, so look for new mushrooms right when the weather changes, since you may have a relatively small window to find them.
There’s other bits that I don’t want to spoil, but I think that should give you a good idea of what to expect!
