Silent Hunt: Forager

An autumn forest, a wicker basket and a sharp knife. Silent Hunt: Forager is a calm game about wandering the woods, spotting mushrooms under the leaves and cutting them carefully so the mycelium gives again tomorrow. MUSHROOMS, BERRIES, HERBS Porcini, orange caps, chanterelles, honey fungus — and fly agarics and death caps you’d better learn to recognise. Each kind grows by its own trees. Cut at the right height with a knife or pull it out by the root — your call, but the mycelium remembers. Pick bilberries and cloudberries, cut St John’s wort and oregano before they wilt. MATRYONA’S HUT AND THE VILLAGE OF ZARECHYE Bring your basket to Matryona, fill her order of the day and buy gear: a bigger basket, a sharper knife, lighter boots. Mend the bridge and Zarechye opens up: a general store with new goods every Monday, a city chef’s restaurant that pays more than Matryona for the best finds, a reseller in a battered van, and a station from which one day you’ll ride to the taiga. THE FOREST ISN’T ONLY FOR PICKERS Boars and bears roam the far corners — hide up a tree or in a ravine. And now and then a man in a leather coat jumps out from behind a tree — chase him off with a stick. HELPERS AND TRUFFLES Grandpa Maxim lends a hedgehog that picks berries, a hare that sits a bear down for dominoes, and Barbos the dog. Teach Barbos to find truffles — and dig carefully so you don’t damage the find. FULL MOON Every thirty days a legendary mushroom glows somewhere in the forest. The chef and grandpa Maxim’s riddle will hint where to look. THE FORAGER’S DIARY Record rare finds and memorable days. Blank pages wait for what you haven’t found yet.
