- Mycelium: The Silent Contract is now available in Early Access - 27 April 2026
Contractors!The day we've been anticipating has finally come. Your existence - as you knew it - is forfeit, and it's time to honor the contract you've signed with the mysterious Mycelium corporation, who offered you a life wealth, fame, and prosperity in exchange for... services, after it ends. You did read the fine print, now didn't you? It would be a mistake not to.Get ready to be transported into the depths of a liminal forest - alone or in a group of up to four. You will explore the procedurally-generated simulation one mission after another, you will gather the coveted mycelium, you will encounter entities and anomalies, and then - when you reach your quota, you will extract. Sound simple enough? Watch out - don't get cocky. The forest is waiting to collect its due, and there is something even more sinister waiting in the shadows. A mystery that you'll need to unfold layer by layer…
- Mycelium: The Silent Contract goes into Early Access on Monday, April 27th 2026! - 9 April 2026
Contractors!This is an announcement I've been dying to make. Mycelium: The Silent Contract has an Early Access release date. You'll be able to sign your contracts and head into the forest on April 27th, 2026. Following a rigorous round of playtests (thank you for the generous feedback to all of you, who have participated!) and polishing I feel the game is ready to be pushed out of the nest and soar through the stormy night sky. Early Access is an important step for Mycelium, as it will allow to get some real Steam visibility and get more people to play, which in turn will allow me to make the forest even more deadly experience even more enjoyable and start adding more content.If you haven't yet - please wishlist the game using this handy widget: That's the announcement for today, but come by often, as there will be more news coming your way soon! Keep safe, Contractors.Have fun, take ca…
- ATTENTION, final days of the playtest! - 20 February 2026
Hey, Contractors,Lex here.If you've been putting off venturing into the forest this is your last and final call to do so. I've been tracking the progress of the currently ongoing playtest and I have to tell you it fills my cold, black, little heart with pride to see over 600 people taking on the challenge and taking the Mycelium playtest for a spin. Not only that! I'm very grateful to over 50 of you who took their time and gave me their thoughts on the game.You've been asking how much longer the playtest will remain accessible. Seeing that the train isn't stopping and new people are joining in, I decided to do one last hurrah and keep the thing up for one more weekend. However, come Sunday, February 22nd, around 3pm PST I'm pulling the plug.Before I go. While I like to keep things a bit mysterious, there's one stat in particular I'm too proud not to share with the class. That is: over 6…

Hey, Contractors,Lex here.I’ve been hunkered down in the dev-den for what feels like an eternity, but the spores are finally spreading.

How is it different from the demo? I'm tossing you into a chunky slice of the early game. Expect some heavy lifting on the atmosphere, a few "did I just see that?" moments, and the core mechanics of the contract itself. It’s…
- Major DEMO Update - 23 December 2025
Hey, Contractors, Lex here.It’s been a hot minute since the last proper update, but I’ve finally finished gutting and rebuilding huge parts of the demo. Being a solo dev means some days I’m a coder, other days I’m a lighting artist, and most days I’m just confused by my own math.Anyway, v 0.47.01 is live. Here is the breakdown of what's actually changed.The "New" Demo ExperienceI already gave you some details on the reasoning behind why I want to change the demo. I realized the old tutorial was—to put it mildly—a bit of a drag. So, I scrapped it. It’s gone. In its place, I’ve added Mission 0. It’s a dedicated training mission that feels like part of the world rather than a pop-up checklist.While I was at it, I also:Nuked the Intro: You can jump straight into multiplayer now. No more waiting around.Simplified Saves: I removed the multiple save slots. You get one slot now, and if you want…
- State of Things - 18 November 2025
Hey, contractors,Lex here.It's been a while since I made a meaningful post, so I guess it's time to keep y'all updated on Mycelium's current state.Based on your feedback and impressions on the demo, I'm postponing new stuff and instead am fixing the problems and improving/reworking the existing features to make them better and clearer by the time of Early Access release.Here is a small sneak peek on what I'm doing:Tutorial removed. Erased. Annihilated. Non-existent. Instead, I'm making a Mission 0 for new players to learn things. Hilarious, isn't it?Terminal reworked. No more confusing arrows that were the reason you couldn't find the map. The new interface will confuse you even more!Lighting reworked in the lobby. Still working on that but I swear - if you keep setting your brightness to 3.2, I'm going to remove that setting from game. Unless it's a joke. However, this rework should fi…
- What goes next? - 23 October 2025
Hey, contractors,Lex hereSteam Next Fest is over, I had a couple days to catch my breath, but now it's time to share my plans for Mycelium.First of all, thank you all for trying out the demo! Your feedback, streams, videos, emails, and bug reports have been extremely helpful. I made numerous mistakes, and with your help I saw them.The demo, despite the fact I don't really like it as a demo, will stay on Steam until further notice and until I make a new one just before the release of the game to Early Access.The game is still scheduled to be released for early access in January. However, there might be delays, that's why I'm not ready to give you a specific date just now. I guess, it'll become clearer in December. Anyway, I'll keep you updated.Meanwhile, I'll concentrate on work. And if you have any comments and feedback, don't hesitate to click that Discord button somewhere below this t…
