Overview
Description

Dr. Muto puts you in the shoes of a brilliant yet unhinged scientist who must use DNA sampling to transform into creatures like spiders, mice, and gorillas. Explore a fully 3D, free‑roaming universe filled with fiendish puzzles, bizarre gadgets, and twisted comedy as you harvest organic matter to reconstruct your destroyed planet. The game blends platforming, stealth, and strategy across a variety of alien worlds, featuring a quirky cast including sidekick Janky and nemesis Professor Burnital. With a single‑player focus and a distinctive sci‑fi aesthetic, Dr. Muto offers a unique action‑adventure experience on PlayStation 2.

Dan and Evo crash into the ancient Space Station Silicon Valley, a thousand‑year‑old vessel now on a collision course with Earth. Evo, a microchip robot, can possess dead robotic animals to solve puzzles and navigate the station’s bizarre, tech‑infused ecosystems. The duo must locate the missing Professor Cheese, stop the station’s descent, and prevent global catastrophe, all while enjoying a quirky sci‑fi comedy tone and classic platforming challenges.
