Mutter developers reveal demo: atmospheric horror in the vein of South of Midnight

Stop-motion enthusiasts and horror aficionados should keep a close watch on the upcoming title, Mutter.

Developed by DeadlyCrow Games, Mutter is set against the somber backdrop of 1940s England. The game features a striking visual aesthetic reminiscent of *South of Midnight*, which recently garnered acclaim at The Game Awards 2025.

The experience is built on meticulous frame-by-frame animation, blending classic platforming with environmental puzzles. Players navigate between haunting locales on a bicycle while engaging in a survival-crafting loop—scavenging for medicinal supplies and cooking meals to sustain the protagonist’s ailing mother.

To provide a glimpse into its atmospheric world, the developers recently launched a playable demo. You can explore it now on Steam, while the full release of Mutter is currently slated for 2026.
