About the game

MUTROPOLIS is a lovely sci-fi adventure set on the abandoned Planet Earth. Play as Henry Dijon (hero, nerd, detective) in search of a legendary lost city. Uncover weird ancient artifacts. And PLEASE don’t get obliterated by an ageless evil. You’ve been warned.

On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. On the same math Creepy Tale 2 ($9.99, scores 57) and Bear With Me - Episode One (free, scores 67) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Honestly, the puzzles seem very disjointed and even after finding hints, often leave me thinking "I never would've got that" instead of a "damn, how come I didn't think of that?!" Managed to make my way through most of the "2nd act", and wasn't feeling any enjoyment out of it

I wish I could give this a neutral review rather than a negative. It's not quite good enough for a positive. I like the art and the voices, but the puzzles are too convoluted and too much backtracking. Play this with a walkthrough handy.

this is a cute point and click adventure game, although it started too feel a little too repetitive / boring at some point, I just finished it to finish it. But maybe I am the problem and I got fed up with point and clicks.. I am not sure.
