The forest's mushrooms

• The world

• Every glowing mushroom clump on the Cursed Forest's floor can be eaten (E).
  • They heal: 30% of your health at once, plus 12.
  • Then the forest begins to breathe, for ten seconds:
  • The picture swims in slow waves and swirls round the middle.
  • A kaleidoscope folds in from the corners and turns.
  • Colours cycle through everything in drifting bands, saturation climbs, and the darks glow faintly in shifting colours.
  • Edges split into rainbow fringes, the brights bloom, and a colour-cycling vignette breathes.
  • The camera's field of view swells and settles, and the view drifts and tilts a little.
  • The sound effects swirl through a phaser.
  • Still playable: it builds over a second and fades over the last three. The middle of the screen stays the clearest, and the HUD is drawn over it, untouched. You can move, fight and loot through it.
  • Eating more while it lasts starts the ten seconds again, a little stronger each time.
  • Eaten, a clump is gone. In a party, each player finds their own.
• Console: mushroom [n] puts n clumps in front of you (E to eat). mushroom eat eats one straight away.
• New screenshot mode trip.
