A dark lesbian horror/romance story so toxic it's emitting spores. Ethel, a shy university student, ventures into the wintry woods late at night, where she meets an enchanting femme fatale — but all is not as it seems.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About

Ethel Briggs is a shy, self-conscious girl in her final year of university. Though she should be working on her thesis about Romantic poetry, her well of inspiration has run dry. After a nasty break-up with her former girlfriend, Clementine, Ethel is feeling very blue — and it certainly doesn't help that she's spending the winter holidays in the depressingly drab village of Oxbury, while her family are off holidaying in sunny Australia.
Left to her own devices, Ethel struggles to finish her thesis while the cold, wintry wind blows outside and the days continue to get shorter and darker.
Staying inside proves to be unbearable, however, and Ethel escapes the confines of her family's home for a breath of fresh air. Going for a walk in the woods should be enough to invigorate her, and fill her with newfound passion for Romanticism.
That was Ethel's plan, at least — but she wasn't counting on meeting a mysterious, dark-haired beauty in the woods, who is much more than she seems.

If I disappear under mysterious circumstances, this is why
ethel just like me fr jokes aside. this was a wonderful short visual novel! played it on my steam deck in one setting with zero issues. not exactly a story i can recommend to everyone. but as someone who loves horror, yuri, and especially the combination of the two, i absolutely loved it. the whole time i had a sense i knew what was going to happen, and it left me with underlying dread the entire time. i think determining if the ending is "good" or "bad" really depends on the readers interpretation, personality, and maybe their own outlook on life. i think thats super cool. without giving too much away, i loved the addendum! i think it was a wonderful way to end the story :) enough rambling go join your local mycelium girlie hive mind today!

Bloomed toxic yuri 10/10
good ass game. won't really go into it because spoilers but ethel's whole situation was kinda relatable really compelling to me, especially in the final scene. i would fold too im afraid
good
Play if you love toxic yuri, or want to see what it's about. small spoilers below I absolutely Adore this game. I just love the inevitable felling of the story, there are no choices, there is not stopping it, what happens must come to pass. I can imagine just how it might all happen again in a new cycle as it has happened already. And I LOVE how there are physical affects, Ethel is not only being drawn in mentally, but also feeling physical reprocussions of her time with The Girl. Not to mention all the beautiful art that depicts all these scenes. I absolutely love the art of her looking down into her hands which she had just coughed into, expecting the wetness to be caused by some phlegm that was lodged in her throat. But no, it is something far worse. Was it even real? A mess of spores and tiny mushrooms overlaying the black sludge that coated her hands. Ugh, so good.
Every time this writer drops a yuri game with this artist attached it's like actual crack cocaine in my veins
It's a nice read with some really pretty art, but I do have some gripes with it. The author seems to be uniquely talented at writing lesbian romance and okay at everything else. The game is just fine outside the Yuri, but when it gets into the romance damn is it suddenly stunning and gorgeous. It does feel at times to be needlessly stretched, describing at length some actions or events that really dont need such exposure, but the mushroom Yuri is so good I'd say it makes it worth it
