Many people ask: “Why is the game released and not in beta or Early Access?” Because originally this was a tiny project — a peaceful walking simulator about wandering through the forest and collecting mushrooms. Those who were with us from the very beginning remember that it was never meant to become a giant survival sandbox.

The game is developed by just two people, so every bug report, suggestion, and piece of feedback is incredibly valuable to us. You genuinely help us shape and improve this strange forest.

After this big update I’m a bit exhausted, so I’ll be taking a short break to recharge. Thank you all for being here with us — and peace to everyone ❤️🌲
