The feedback we got from players after we released the original game was overwhelming, which makes us all the more pleased to offer up Seed of Evil, the continuation of the Mutant Year Zero story. We have worked very hard on this and I feel confident that everyone who enjoyed the original game, will enjoy the expansion as well.

Mutant Year Zero was released back in December 2018 and it was received with critical acclaim. The game sees players controlling a group of mutants who are searching through the ruins of civilization for salvation and something to eat. The game combines strategic turn-based combat with stealth very effectively. Players evolve their characters as they journey through the world trying to save the last remains of the decent society from eradication.
