About the Game

There are no checkpoints here. You have five lives per level to escape the facility. If they run out, your progress is terminated and you start from the beginning.

A true arcade game is a battle for status. MUTEIGHT features full Steam Leaderboard integration. Every bullet dodged and every boss defeated counts toward your total. Don’t just escape - dominate the global rankings and prove you are the ultimate survivor.

  • The Tentacle Slingshot: Your left arm is a bio-mechanical grapple. Use it to propel yourself through the lab, slingshot around obstacles, or snatch objects to hurl at your captors (or them).

  • Plasma Cannon: Eviscerate doctors, hazmat squads, and elite agents with devastating plasma blasts from your weaponized right arm.

  • Chemical Augmentation: Collect experimental vials dropped by enemies to trigger mid-run buffs. Adapt your mutations on the fly to survive the increasingly lethal security tiers.
