How it feels

A gentle and meditative management sim about restoring a frog pond through crafting and puzzle solving.

What players say

Players are charmed by the frogs but find Mudborne more puzzle-heavy and math-focused than its cozy looks suggest. Many praise the satisfying genetic-cracking loop, though the early hours confuse everyone with poor explanations and a tedious mushroom system. The game is surprisingly large and long, with some calling it a relaxing collectathon and others a grind.
