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.

Mushrooms require precise heat and moisture conditions before they'll grow, so while certain mushrooms grow in extremely common conditions, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled as conditions change throughout the day.

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.

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:

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.

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’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.

With two dozen unique mushrooms to discover around the various Atlas sections, you’ve got your cultivating work cut out for you!

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.

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.

There’ll be lots to explore and uncover, Mudborne Game and get to the bottom of what happened while you work to bring everyone back.
