About this game

Dr. Muto is a fully 3D, free-roaming third-person action-adventure game with platforming, puzzle-solving, strategy, and twisted comedy.

After accidentally destroying his home planet, the maniacal scientist Dr. Muto must travel to neighboring planets and steal organic matter to rebuild it. Using sampled DNA, he can transform into creatures such as a spider, mouse, or gorilla, while fiendish gadgets help him overcome mind-bending devices and freakish monsters.

The game features unusual characters including Dr. Muto’s sidekick, Janky, and his nemesis, Professor Burnital.
