You can press space to ribbit and nearby frogs will ribbit back. Not sure what else the game does but definitely worth a try if that's your thing.

They took Apico - already a fantastic top down management game - and added lore, puzzles, a dream world, and frogs. This game is ribbiting.

With no exaggeration, it's fair to characterize this game's story like this: In a society governed by racial hierarchies, you must uncover a deadly conspiracy... The racial order of the world is upside down, and frogs from a certain lowly racial caste are actually the truly superior frogs. Help to unfold the mystery by breeding superior frogs and install a new racial regime. I'm not someone who's easily offended, so I hope you take me seriously when I say this story truly is completely out of line and wrong. The racial superiority of certain frogs (which are emphasized to be akin to people in the setting) is discussed openly and detailed everywhere throughout the notes you collect. The final challenge has you breeding: Second-rate Prowlers into Low-grade Croakers until finally they're Sublime Empyreans, which seek absolute truths... an uncomfortable parallel to many modern day race realists disguising their pseudoscience as uncomfortable truth seeking. I'm convinced this is all an unfortunate product of a developer not very keen on the critical themes of their own work. This is probably supposed to be a fun little mystery game with frog breeding stuff, but man did you stumble into some treacherous terrain. In other words, I think the developer is probably just a person making a fun little story who accidentally created a deranged pro-racial superiority conspiracy narrative. A very low % of people seem to have completed the main story which jumpscares you near the very end with all of this stuff, so I'm unsurprised no one seems too bothered by it. Other than all that, I didn't enjoy any of the absurd amount of inventory management and navigating the never ending maze-like structure of the world. I also disliked the frog breeding, which is just really slow in my opinion. The general vibe of the game is very relaxing and good, largely due to the amazing art and sound. Obviously, I can't recommend it to anyone considering my analysis.

Extremely relaxing and beautiful game but also a little demanding in terms of (very basic) math skills you need in order to progress. Loving the trippy dream world. Only big gripe is: extremely wordy for a game about some frogs. Yeah I get it, the story is supposed to be somehow epic, but you can also do that with little to no words at all. Next time please try that. If I need to read another diary of a frog scientist #3's intern, I'll go drown myself in the Spawning Pools. Oh wait, I'm a frog and I can't read. Ribbit.

so many frogs!! i love them??? gets a bit grindy if you want 100% achievements but that just makes sense. really great and engaging game with a terrific story that made me actually cry to boot. if there was one thing i could add i think it would be pronouns, like how they were implemented for APICO.

this is single-handedly ruining my life. i love it <3 highly highly highly recommend this game to literally everyone its so cute and peaceful and im barely halfway through the game and I do not want it to be over. rolling around in the grass and flowers smiling thinking of the little frogs. I'm diagnosed bad at math and this game is so fun that i will do the math instead of avoiding it. on my way to play another 7hrs with no breaks.

It's super adorable and great and all the little frogs and mushrooms make me quite happy. However, for me, it's the type of game I'd rather watch someone else who has a better grasp of the mechanics play. I still recommend it even if it's not for me.

the gmo frogs are indeed not gay

Ribbit!

Boring.

Charming and Fun :) I felt like the Pepe Silva meme at many points with a bunch sticky notes of all the genetics I needed to open pools and unlock frogs.

this game's already giving me a form of outstandingly serene inner peace and showing me the path to nirvana + can pet the frog

There are so many frogs its too much frogs

Starts out fun but quickly becomes boring & overcomplicated (two kinds of portals? incomplete maps? crucial resources available only under randomly generated conditions?) with an unfortunate mild eugenics aftertaste.

I looooved Apico and was really looking forward to Mudborne. Guess I should have played the demo before the purchase, however I'm fine with supporting the dev with a few bucks. Unfortunately the game made me lose interest as soon as I started exploring the dream world and landed in yet another in-between world. You can grow every mushroom that you need for frog breeding only in a specific world. So you have to build your base at least twice and jump back and forth between the worlds. You can only move in very limited spaces on each map and need to unlock more areas, that are still not connected outside of portal jumps. It feels extremely disruptive to the game flow and that was just too much for me, so I can't be bothered with frog breeding at all anymore. I do like the dev and maybe their next game will be a fun ride for me again.

A really grindy, somewhat complex, but very rewarding game. Mudborne is a puzzle and frog-breeding sim that’s perfect for achievement hunters and frog enthusiasts – lol. As someone who’s both, I had a great time. Sometimes I struggled, especially at the beginning, because the game can be quite complex in parts. But I never reached a point where it felt too difficult or made me want to stop playing. I also connected with other players on Discord, which was a really nice bonus. Overall: a complex, grindy game with fair achievements that makes the grind feel worth it. 8.5/10

Eaten any nice bugs recently?

Frog Game. Catch frog, breed frog, right frog in statue makes sound, sound make brain happy. What more do I need to say? 10/10

this is my stardew
