Muck

Muck is a survival sandbox where you must gather resources and craft items to survive against waves of monsters on a procedurally generated island. Its challenging gameplay loop and emphasis on emergent storytelling make every session a unique struggle.

The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
