Mycelium: The Silent Contract

Mycelium: The Silent Contract is a single-player or co-op extraction game set in a vast, liminal forest. You play as an unwilling contractor for Mycelium, a mysterious company: after signing a contract in exchange for a successful life, you must carry out its tasks even after that life has ended. Your handler expects you to harvest specimens and extract, while the contract’s cryptic fine print leaves its terms unclear.

The forest

Each mission takes you to a dark, still forest that is procedurally generated and changes from one visit to the next. Dynamic weather and spatial sound shape the environment, while dozens of locations contain mysteries, puzzles and dangers. You must find your bearings each time and avoid getting lost.

More than 10 twisted monsters and other dangers stand in your way. The longer you remain in the forest, the more dangerous it becomes, as something is always after your mycelium.

Gather and extract

Search for mycelium to fulfil the contract and free your soul. You can also find valuables to earn more time for future missions, giving you longer to investigate and solve the forest’s mysteries. To leave a mission, use the mycelium you have gathered to extract, but you cannot stay in the forest indefinitely.

Equipment and coordination

Successful missions let you acquire more advanced equipment and additional time for future missions. You can buy equipment provided by the company and upgrade your gear to help with your tasks. In co-op, you can coordinate through advanced voice chat and other means.
