Final name, new additions!


Hey! This game has been my passion project for a few years now, and I finally feel like it's in a spot to give it it's "final" name, so to speak. I added more content, cleared up some wording, and created a system to randomly create runs for the players. Conceptually, there are infinite (or a lot, whatever, you get it) combination of locations, rooms, obstacles, encounters, and unique items.

Mycorrhiza, literally means "fungal root," but more fully it is the symbiotic connection between fungi and flora root systems. The way in which fungi weave through the rhizosphere of our world is hard to fully appreciate or understand it's scale. In some ways, you can view the fungal mesh that helps process the nutrients needed for life like the electrical impulses that travel through sodium and potassium channels in our brain cells. Consciousness, for better or worse, is a byproduct of this chemical exchange. 

This name, I hope, highlights the underlying ideas about the unconscious world and the mutable nature of reality. Is the Anomaly conscious? I don't know, that's something for you to find out. Hopefully you put more thought into it than Smithson Industries, grasping in the dark for profit.

In fact, you reading this right now are part of my fungal-like mesh of thoughts, opinions, and unconscious churning. Ideas are like mushrooms, you can't kill them in a way that matters. Even if you read this and forget it tomorrow, something will stick with you. I'll have made a new connection in your brain, the sodium and potassium channels move like fingers on a keyboard.

This isn't the end of my work here, far from it! I need to figure out how to do layout, and probably commission someone who can draw to make some special art for it.

Thanks for reading,

Charlie
