About

Venture into a hauntingly liminal forest in Mycelium: The Silent Contract, as an unwilling contractor for a mysterious corporation. Your handler demands results as per your signed contract: harvest the specimens and extract. In this co-op/single-player extraction game death is just the beginning and nothing is as it seems. Fans of the Backrooms, SCP, and Alan Wake universes will feel right at... home? But the mysterious nature and the cryptic fine print of the Silent Contract will keep even them on their toes. What did you sign, exactly?
Single and CO-OP multiplayer with an advanced voice chat and other means of coordination
Huge, procedurally generated, liminal forest with dynamic weather conditions and spatial sound
Dozens of unique locations with their own mysteries, puzzles, and dangers
More than 10 twisted monsters and other dangers to stand in your way
Upgradable equipment to aid in your missions
There is no life after death but there's always more work to do. Having signed a contract in exchange for a successful life, now that it has ended, you are obliged to perform tasks for a company called Mycelium.
Each mission you arrive at a dark and motionless forest where silence is your best friend. It will never be the same, so you'll have to find your bearings over and over again. Don't get lost - or you might never come back.
Look for mycelium as that's what you need to complete the contract and free your soul. Buy equipment the company provides and find valuables to get more time in the future missions. The more time you get, the more mysteries you'll face and can solve.
Use the mycelium you've got to extract from the mission. But hurry up - you can't stay in the forest forever. The longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes, as there is always someone or something that wants your mycelium more than you do.
Each successful mission will let you get more advanced equipment and more time to uncover the mysteries of the forest. Use that wisely, as it will not be getting easier.

Я вибачаюся, але що це за шедевр?! Це не просто кращий екстракшн горор на мою думку з нині існуючих, це цілий унікальний всесвіт створений однією людиною. Окремий захват від того, что це україньский розробник. Цікаво грати як самій, так і в компанії. Візуально дуже гарно і звуки в лісі до мурах, а про звукове супроводження тіні (ми ії звемо мавкою :D) я взагалі мовчу, це треба пережити. Багів майже нема (що помітили, це що мікрофон переодично перестає працювати в грі після завершення контракту до перезапуску системи). Бажаю щоб ця гра розвивалася далі і завірусилася по всьому світу, бо вона того варта на 200%.
Played this with friends and honestly picked it up just because the visuals looked interesting. It ended up being way more engaging than I expected. The forest atmosphere creates a constant sense of tension, especially when you get separated from your teammates and start hearing strange sounds around you. I also liked that the game doesn't rely on cheap jump scares every few minutes and instead builds suspense through its atmosphere. The concept behind the mycelium mechanic is interesting, the visuals are nice, and the co-op gameplay works well. There were a few minor bugs here and there, but nothing that seriously affected the experience. It's clear that the project is still growing, and I'm curious to see what future updates will bring.
Дуже класна гра для малої компанії, завжди знаходиш щось нове, ніколи не набридає
Гра про "весело, що аж страшно" і "страшно, що аж весело". Однозначна рекомендація для тих, хто: - губиться у трьох соснах - полюбляє, коли чухають спинку - шукає друзів, які будуть поруч завжди - не проти навчитись пропадати у найвідповідальніший момент - хоче розвіяти міф про свист та гроші Застереження: гра викликає грибну залежність і синдром "остання каточка і спати"
This co-op horror game is really great. Most players enjoy the game with friends, but I mostly play it solo. I love walking around the forest, finding some mysterious location and trying to stay alive while there are scary monsters hunting me. The process of finding and gathering mushrooms is highly addictive, so you should think about collecting the right amount (even more) in time. Each map is unique, and it gives you a reason to keep exploring and searching for spots, locations, and different kinds of mushrooms. The game always keeps you guessing about what or who might be lurking behind the trees, in the bushes, or even in the safe zones (at first glance). Exploring never gets old because there is always something new to discover, and it is great that you have to adapt your strategy for each mission based on the goals, time and equipment. Sometimes, you just do not know what to do with the new monster or when you find a new location so it bears consequences (in most cases - deadly) and that is when the codex can be a lifesaver. Monsters can be terrifying in their own way, as you never know when monsters will find you in the forest, and whatever you run or fight to defeat them and will you even survive. It keeps you on your toes throughout the game. Being alone only adds to the fear. The best part is the music and sound design. They create an incredible horror atmosphere heightening every moment. Subtle strange noises from nowhere and sudden music shifts constantly keep you on edge. The sound effects make the monsters feel much more threatening. Hearing something moving nearby without knowing exactly where it is can be so scary. The audio does a great job of making me feel nervous even when nothing is happening. This is a fantastic horror game with interesting locations, hidden secrets, creepy monsters and fantastic sound design. The music and atmosphere make every exploration feel exciting and scary. The developer did such a great job, creating this game on his own with impressive attention to detail. Of course, I had more failed missions than successful ones in this game, but I would definitely keep playing it, exploring the forest, solving mysteries of Mycelium and experiencing a fascinating adventure.
had so much fun..started to think i was crazy a few times
A really interesting and engaging concept with a great atmosphere that’s been nailed really well. Especially when playing with friends, it’s a lot of fun and creates some really memorable moments. That said, the early game can be pretty rough. It took us quite a few failed runs before things finally got going and we were able to afford some proper equipment. Loot felt scarce most of the time, and dying can be pretty punishing since you lose everything you’ve gathered. There were also moments where it could get a bit frustrating, especially when a random encounter suddenly leads to an instant death. Still, once you get past that initial hurdle, it definitely starts to shine more.
Дуже сподобалась гра, за два дні награли в гру 7 годин з друзями. Гра без лагів, незважаючи на ранній доступ. Сподобалось, що новий контент відкривається поступово і є можливість розігратись. Розробнику здоровля і всього найкращого, щоб продовжував працювати над грою. Про гру дізнались від тремби.
I step into the forest looking for mushrooms like i normally do, I am but a humble gatherer I notice the forest gets darker and creepier as i go deeper looking for shrooms I start hearing whispers the closer i get to them - They start whispering to me Start to freak out wondering wtf is going on SUDDENLY I'm JUMPED BY THESE BIG ASS BUGS ON CRACK WITH THEIR WEIRD ASS EYES ASKING FOR MY SHROOMS I run away as fast as i can trying to find a safe spot I see a church! I'M SAFE I say to my self! I go inside and see supplies hoping I'm safe and I see a backpack! I'm lucky! Hopefully there is something to help me I start going through and searching the backpack and i start hearing beeping Beep....Beep....Beep Beep Beep What the F- *BOOM* WHY WAS THERE A BOMB IN THE BACK PACK? I suddenly wake up and I'm in this place with some lady yelling at me for dying and not bringing back any more shrooms 10/10 game - would play again
Really great game with amazing jumpscares and immersive audio ! GG
