Mushroom Hunting Game / The Mushrooms Hunt Back

A first-person horror idea where mushrooms hunt people. An ordinary school workday becomes the proposed first test: notice something wrong, investigate, and survive.

The shared voice-chat recap starts with a normal world: extra mushrooms, a dead mouse, a missing cat, and strange illness. Spores make people sick or disoriented; mycelium alters spaces, lays traps, and physically captures prey. The intended tone is creeping dread with a little weird humor. The first proposed level follows a school janitor through an ordinary workday. Robert asked for readable notes so he could return a week later and remember the idea. This record keeps that starting point. No playable build is attached. The shared page preserves the closing discussion and recap; the earlier voice session and its audio are not included.
