The best ending ever 😂
Definitely not the ending i was expecting in a game about mushrooms.. One of the best and most messed up ending though, amazing job !
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)Great game 👌
So here's what I don't get about the story:
The beginning text implies that the mushrooms have information from across history stored in them and that by unlocking this knowledge the main character seeks to become a god. So our character gets some special mushrooms, then puts them in a machine which breaks them down chemically, analyzes them determining how far back the sample goes, then injects the user with a solution that shows them the mushroom's past memories. Somehow after an error occurs the user is stuck in a loop of being stabbed by the needle, despite the fact that the mushroom was already dead when you were injected with its memories, and the fact that the needle in the memory shouldn't be able to induce another flashback because it isn't real.Honestly it’d be cooler if the mushrooms in game actually showed us environments from millions of years ago and we could explore the environments and encounter creepy stuff and forbidden knowledge about earth’s past.
very good
Hello, I played this game, and I really enjoyed it! Good work :)
Interesting game, enjoyed it!
The concept of the game is different and it surprised me, a different and unique theme, I had never heard of this subject of mycelium very interesting, congratulations on the different theme and the graphics which by the way are beautiful, keep it up
Gameplay PT-BR
i was on edge throughout the whole game waiting for something to pop out and getting stabbed repeatedly by a needle is terrifying lol good game
/editFor being made for a game jam this was not bad! Made a video on it.
Thank you for playing!
There is a grammatical error on Mycelium's itch.io page. It's 'Its tendrils listen' instead of 'It's tendrils listen'.
I refuse to play until it's fixed. :(
I suggest calling the grammar police
They didn't answer.
Good, tapi bingung sih nyari jamurnya oleh gelap banget mana kalau gak nyalain senter gak kelihatan.
The attention to detail in the world-building is astounding. with a rich history and lore to uncover.
where?
The voice acting is superb. really bringing the characters to life.
Exploring the forest was actually a pretty relaxing experience! I also really like the design for the mushrooms that we're searching for!
Thanks!!
Loved the concept and the atmosphere of the game. I didn't have much going on and yet it was eerie and unsettling the entire time. My only complaint is with the controls, having to spam E to cycle through the items got annoying pretty fast, maybe it'd be better to have the items bound to number keys or something like that. Other than that small detail, great game!
Thank you! Great feedback and I enjoyed watching you play :)
it was a good experience the eerie environment was tasty!
that was pretty great, well done!
Thanks for playing!
The voice acting is superb. really bringing the characters to life.
The sense of progression is so satisfying. I always feel like I'm working towards something meaningful.
Thanks so much!
beautiful world building, kudos!
Thank you!
Thanks!! I enjoyed watching you play :)
I'm so glad to see this game climbing up in the "Popular" section. This game is too cool to be lost in the rankings. I've already completed it 3 times, and absolutely coming back to play it again!
Thank you so much ♥️
