About

Mudlarks is a point-and-click adventure set in a fog-draped coastal town. You play as a young detective working late-night shifts at a museum, figuring out a series of strange events tied to local legends. The game focuses on environmental storytelling, with puzzles that blend history and the supernatural. Players collect clues scattered across shadowy alleyways and abandoned piers, piecing together a narrative about friendship and hidden truths. The game’s moody atmosphere and deliberate pacing create a strong sense of mystery. While its 2014 release date means the visuals feel dated, the layered storytelling and cryptic dialogue still hold up. Community feedback highlights the emotional weight of its characters, though some note the slow start. With a Metacritic score of 72, it’s a niche title that rewards patience with a haunting, character-driven tale.
