Contractors!
Time flies and we're almost month and a half into Early Access with Mycelium: Silent Contract. We're happy to see you enjoy the game, and more players are discovering it daily. That means more and more expeditions are being launched into the forest, and some of you may think you already know what to expect when you're there. Guess again.
The first content update - as per our Early Access roadmap we've shared on the game's store page - brings about new mysteries to explore, valuables to loot, freshly-hatched monsters to fight or avoid, and more lore to uncover. To celebrate the occasion Mycelium: The Silent Contract is available with 20% discount now, throughout the Steam Summer Sale.
We also have some great news for Italian players! The game is now available in your language. Please let us know in our Discord server if you notice any bugs in this beta translation.
