How co-op works
Online co-op extraction where teams gather mycelium from a haunted liminal forest and survive to extract, using communication to navigate escalating horror and shared threats.
About this game
Mycelium: The Silent Contract drops players into a haunted liminal forest with a simple objective that quickly unravels. You and your team signed a contract to collect mycelium and extract, but the forest hides layers of dread and ambiguity that challenge what you understood about the job. The cooperative structure turns survival into a shared burden as environmental threats and supernatural encounters force constant vigilance.

Extraction mechanics govern the flow of each run. Teams explore, gather the fungus, and race to escape before conditions deteriorate. Communication becomes vital as players share sightings, coordinate movement, and decide when to push deeper or retreat. The horror escalates organically, rewarding groups who stay calm under pressure and punishing those who scatter.
Each session is self-contained but reveals more about the contract and the forest's nature over time. The Early Access build already supports online co-op, inviting players to test strategies, refine roles, and piece together the unsettling lore as development continues.
