Mutazione

And Saltsea Chronicles is 25% off!

Die Gute Fabrik shared this announcement on Twitter earlier today. Sadly, they are halting production of future products/games due to a lack of funding.

Mutazione & Saltsea Chronicles were both incredible games, and I was hopeful to see more from this studio. Here's to hoping that funding issues are resolved and they are able to resume production soon. It would be a shame to see such a promising studio go belly up.

After it being on my radar since release, I finally played Saltsea Chronicles.

I loved Mutazione, and was looking forward to trying out whatever else the developer put out, and despite not being immediately interested after the demo, I took the plunge and am so glad that I did.

Saltsea Chronicles carries so much of the same storytelling elements, world & character building, and a focus on community that Mutazione had, and goes deeper with it.

One of the things I found fascinating about Mutazione was this small community that had formed on the island, cut off from the rest of humanity. In the face of a radioactive disaster, they came together in community to support each other, and live with nature. It was an interesting look at what society could look like when cut off from outside pressure.

Saltsea takes this concept of disaster bringing together a community, and expands it into a more fleshed out world, with its own culture, practices, art. Your choices matter in terms of where the crew ultimately goes, and what islands you see. It's a game I could easily see myself replaying in order to visit all the places I didn't go to during my first play through.

If you loved Mutazione, I'd highly suggest trying out Saltsea for yourself. For those curious, it took me about ~14 hours to complete.

Have you played Saltsea? What did you think?

The latest release from Mutazione developer, Die Gute Fabrik, is now available on Steam for $24.99!

"It begins with a kidnapped captain and a stolen ship. Where it leads next? That’s up to you… In this story-driven adventure game you will explore strange and wonderful communities, uncover a deep conspiracy, and chart a journey through twists and turns, difficulties and delights. "

I got this game for free on Epic a few years ago, and just finally got around to trying it out after seeing a few articles mention it as a quality game.

I wasn't expecting to be charmed so much by this game! All the characters feel so real, the setting is beautiful, and the pacing was perfect. I loved this game greatly and am looking forward to Die Gute Fabrik's next game, Saltsea Chronicles!
