Mutropolis is a 3rd person science fiction adventure set in the year 5000 AD. Humans are living on Mars, with archaeological explorations back on Earth led by small teams. Playing as Henry Dijon, you are a member of such a team; after your team leader is kidnapped you must search for clues to hopefully lead to his rescue. There are 24 Steam Achievements, all documented in the walkthrough below.

Act 1: Discovering

Search the bags to get your geological chronometer, but you will discover that your trowel is missing. Use the geological chronometer on everyone (Carlata, Luc, Micro, Cobra and Totel) Date Your Friends. Talk to Totel. Use the geological chronometer on the door, then talk to Totel about everything.

Return to the main part of the cave. Pick up the big blue mushroom from the right. Try to open the toolbox, but you need a code. Talk to Luc to get the first half of the code, then talk to Micro. Drop your mushroom into the hole to create some light. Now talk to Micro to get the second half of the code. Now you can open the toolbox, and you will take some aqua dentata.

Examine the rubble to the left of the hole. Talk to Carlata about the binocular case, then talk to Micro and accuse him. Examine the rocks near the cave entrance. Now talk to Cobra, using reverse psychology. Examine the fluorescent powder near Cobra's feet. Search the mushrooms behind Carlata to find the trowel.

Return to the large door. Use the aqua dentata on the door, then use the trowel. Open the door and go through. Once you are alone, go left.

Act 2: Totel is the Key

Laboratories

Examine the painting on the far right El Greco. Pick up the small Martian plant on the right, then go through the nearby door. Talk to Carlata, then go through the next door into Totel's office. Examine the green mask 3 times, then pick up the piece of iron that falls down. Search the drawer to find some breath spray. Look at the shelving on the right. Examine the notebook on the left. Now look at every page of the other 5 books Bookworm.

Examine the hole near the floor along the back wall, then use your trowel on the hole to get a pen. Leave the office, then look at the floating orange planet, which is made of Martian soil. Put your small Martian plant into the planet, and you will end up keeping the pot. Go back out and return right to the lab. Look at the samples on the bench and you will grab the Linden blossom. Go to the far right and take the lab coat, then take the ID that was hidden behind it.

Return to Carlata's office and use the lab coat to collect the chilli pepper from the plant. Go back to the lab again. Use the jar in front of Cobra to fill your empty pot. Examine the thermal regulator to the left. Once you see the close-up view put your pot of water into the small clamp. Put your chilli pepper into the main compartment of the thermal regulator, to warm up the water. Add the Linden blossom to the hot water, then take the pot again. Go and give the pot to Carlata, then you will automatically take her mojito. Enter Totel's office and pour the mojito over the plant on Totel's desk. Pick up the hidden note, then examine it in your inventory - you will remove the paperclip and find that the note is a map. Return to the lab and give the secret note to Luc.

Go around the back of the building, and you will overhear a conversation with Cobra. Take some rope from the warning sign. Go back to the elevator and up to the second floor.

Laboratories

Return to Carlata's office and examine the printer. You need to create 2 printouts, by choosing the options, selecting render, then selecting print:

  • Pilot: Round head, eyes like frowns, mouth to the side, thick male hair
  • Carlata: Round head, big eyes, even smile, hair over eyes

Give the Carlata identikit printout to Carlata Spitting Image. Now go back to the elevator and head down the basement.

Out in the corridor, examine the security cupboard, then use your lock pick on it. Move the top part around until it snaps into place near the top of the lock. Repeat this with the bottom part until it snaps into place, and the door will open. You will automatically retrieve the survival kit.

Return to the lab and give the ancient smoke bomb to Luc. In your inventory, combine the straw with the chemical components. Head out towards the elevator, and use your rope knot on the colossal statue to get a single thread.

Hall
