The Mutated Reality (Demo 1)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
There is a 2nd demo out now! Please play after you've played this one!
The Lord confused the language of the whole world out of spite.
The people were scattered over the face of the earth.
All for building a tower into the heavens to ask him why.
The people were separated. Mothers torn from daughters, fathers from sons, because they had dared to dream, because they had dared to think themselves worthy to approach the Lord.
They had been cast down from the tower, from the Lord’s grace, as one had been before.
He had been flaming as he fell. They rushed to their windows to watch the orange speck approach the horizon. The wind pushed back their hair upon his impact.
They grabbed their tools, wordlessly approaching the nameless heat.
What they found was a crater. A great huge thing, half a mile wide. And the creature was gone.
They no longer needed words. They all had one thought as they began to dig.
If the Lord will not listen to us, maybe the Devil will.

I downloaded this game years ago and I finally played it...
Worst mistake of my life(In a good way)
if you want to fix the executable cannot run on linux. go to its properties and select "run as executable"
The idea is good but the death is horrible, the game is intense but the game dont scare
Amazing game with tasteful scares. Despite the slow pace, I was totally immersed and absorbed in the story and environment. The enemies are a bit lackluster, but the writing almost makes up for it.
Good game, many letters xD
I just finished this, it's very very amazing, felt like I was living/playing a creepypasta! its very long for a demo, ill go play Demo 2 now :)
Hey there! There are many things I enjoyed in this game and only one thing that I felt detracted from the experience. The notes are written well but unfortunately there are too many of them in my opinion. Here is my video if you are interested in my playthrough!
Thank you for making games!
Amazing game. I can't wait for the full version.
I really loved this game! Is there any chance we can get some graphical options to reduce the grime a little in the next demo/release though, it was a bit hard on my eyes after 40 minutes.
Also, A++ on the story writing, I very often hate reading the notes in indie horror, but your writing is so great. It tells a story while also simultaneously asking new questions.
The next demo will be launching very soon with the ability to decrease the pixelation and will have lessened texture warping. Thanks for playing :)
Really enjoyed this and will be playing the full game when it comes out.
such a neat demo! i wanna play more!
There'll be another demo coming out in the next couple of weeks :)
Loved it!
Thanks for playing :)
Thanks. I appreciated to much this one. I hope you keep it up. Seven videos on list:
What is new?
I really appreciating this one. I deserve own list! Thanks to do this game. Greetings from Brazil. (ps.: I'm still playing)
Amazing atmosphere, very scary.
My video on The Mutated Reality.
Incredible experience that mines an undisturbed trove of horror. Cannot wait until the full version.
made a finale :D. Very nice game.
Loved the story, still a mystery who's making them mad + I don't know if its intended maybe I found a bug?
Made a finale
Hi I am unable to play this game even though I want to. My Mac says it can't open it. The game wasn't even downloaded as a zip just an app with the game's icon. If you can help me out with this, that would be great. I would really love to play this game.
Very nice overall, but if you get hurt on the first enemy your screen will remain red-ish for the rest of the game.
Klingon empire approves this game and has upload 1 of 2 videos for my yearly Halloween themed yt videos collection anything scary!
Made a video
So this is just a demo and I really wanted to find out who this "her" was
I'm not sure if I just missed something, but I ended up getting turned around and lost quite quickly in the mines early on, I thought it might be helpful to have some way to light the candles around the place as an easy way to keep track of where I had already been.
I absolutely loved the atmosphere and setting of this game.
May I also ask what the name of the music that played over the PA system was? I'd very much appreciate it!
Absolutely fantastic. I think what you're doing with the overarching theme of the game is great. It doesn't rely on jumpscares and the immense tension that builds up over such a short time is just fantastic. The atmosphere is immaculate, especially being someone who came from a region where coal mining was king. My only slight critique is that the log puzzle near the start was kind of annoying. Really hope you continue this project into a full game some time!
I really love the eerie atmosphere! The darkness with a touch of light makes it very scary. I would love to see this Demo adapted into a full game! With different mutations and interactions! New areas too maybe.
Anyways, I loved it! Was definitely scary and I hope to see more!
ngl your game was so scary it made me want to cry. i absolutely love it
Hi.
What I like about this game is that it is very pixelated. Does anyone know how this was done?
How was it also done that when you click on the tiles a new window appears with the text in English?
I really enjoyed this game a lot. It was quite long for a jam game (up to 2 hours for me). The writing is really well done, and the atmosphere is very abrasive and creepy. I had a good time exploring this weird world.
One bug report: If you are reading a note and you press Esc to see the pause menu, then press Resume (or Esc again), the mouse cursor is hidden and the note UI panel is stuck on screen. This forces the player to have to reload a save.
Thanks for playing! Good spot with the bug, I'll get that one fixed :)
Happy to help!
