Mutation of J.B. (in Slovak: Mutácia Johnyho Burgera) is a 1996 point-and-click adventure game by Slovak developer Invention. It was released for MS-DOS by Riki Computer Games in Slovakia, by Vochozka Trading (now 2K Czech) in the Czech Republic and by Neo Software in the German speaking countries.

Plot[]

The player controls Johnny Burger, who plans to visit his cousin Emanuel for two weeks. A scientist offers him money to be part of an experiment. The experiment goes wrong, the scientist disappears, Johnny gets turned into a human pig, and he is kidnapped to the Planet Ladea. He must return things to how they were and find out what happened to Emanuel.

Development[]

This was the very first Slovak video game on CD which also included Slovak voice acting. Voice actors included were Jozef Pročko, Ladislav Kocan, and Riki magazine's editor-in-chief Ivo Ninja.[1] It is also the first Slovak commercial point & click adventure.[2]

The publishers actively tried to push against the rampant piracy by publishing the title directly into the Slovak language without subtitles.[3] The Austrian publisher NEO included German language with subtitles and insisted that the games' music must be uploaded directly to them in the studio in Vienna.[3]

Reception[]

Adventure-archiv praised the puzzles and story for being highly original.[4] Gamesite.sk editor listed the title as the fifth best game of all time.[2]
