A very normal PC game · Single player · Coming November 5

Just a Normal Porcini Hunt

Hunt porcini in a procedural forest, distrust the locals and try not to become part of the ecosystem.

Procedural woods No magic markers Deeply unhelpful locals
Go deeper

This can only end well

Read the forest. Question your life choices.

Every forest hides a different ecology. Moisture, trees, light and undergrowth point toward porcini—or toward a long walk with nothing to show but emotional damage.

01

Look down

Porcini hide beneath fallen leaves, near oak, beech and chestnut trees. Watch your step—the forest may find you before the mushrooms do.

02

Trust nothing

Moss, ferns and host trees are useful clues. The Fish Man is not.

03

Fill the basket

Find a cluster, get greedy, become over-encumbered and learn why running mattered.

Meet the locals. Regret it immediately.

The wildlife is odd. The people are worse.

The woods are populated by people with no obvious reason to be there. To be fair, neither do you.

  • Fresh disasters Every seed creates new clues and brand-new ways to be humiliated by shrubbery.
  • Hard mode Lookalikes enter the basket. Regret follows shortly after.
  • Permanent evidence Your log keeps notes, records and a useful paper trail for the rescue team.

* “Normal” is a legally flexible term.

Two videos. Zero safety certifications.

Watch first. Panic professionally.

The official Steam tutorials cover interrogation etiquette and advanced mushroom recovery. The forest has requested legal counsel.

Epic tutorial · 0:34 No saddle. No dignity. Grab the porcini before the witness stands up.

About the suspect

Meet the person responsible.

Just a Normal Porcini Hunt is being made by Lolllo1992—one developer who took a peaceful walk in the woods and added procedural ecology, suspicious locals and paperwork. Complete enough hunts to unlock the creator: underqualified, overconfident and entirely responsible for what happened in the forest.
