Stalburg Mushroom Virus
To-Do: Split this page into 3 separate pages Stalburg Mushroom Virus, Fungal Disease (this is where major chunk of the Obenseuer gameplay should go), and Mushrooms.
The Stalburg Mushroom Virus (S.M.V), also known as Fungal Disease in public knowledge, is a deadly virus that infects certain types of Green Mushrooms, causing them to be harmful to humans, that is present in INFRA and Obenseuer.
The virus was reportedly researched by S.N.W and was descripted as "a kind of disease that slowly kills the target", causing "strong hallucinations and strange and violent behavior". The disease is spread by the mushrooms' spores, causing heavy coughing.
Fungal Disease
In Obenseuer, Fungal Disease can be caught as a consequence of Starting Choices or from consumption of Green Mushrooms. Once present, its development inside the body will progress. It can lead to addiction that can decrease one's maximum physical health, and if left untreated it can even cause death.
Progression of the disease is slowed down by consumption of alcohol or spending time in a sauna, and stopped entirely by taking a Fungicide available at Skeida Pharmacy (in mild and moderate cases) or undergoing surgery as performed by Dr. Pena MD (required for serious or extreme cases).
After acquiring an OsRat, player can connect with the Other Side and find Red Things; collecting them will decrease Fungal Disease and its progression.
Progression
Green Mushrooms containing the S.M.V. will aggressively attack a human body they started to grow on. If left unchecked, it will eventually consume one fully. A body goes under following stages:
- 1st day: Green Mushrooms are growing on the body
- 18th day: Green Mushrooms are growing through the skin
- 25th day: Weakness, inability to walk, memory loss
- 33rd day: Complete infestation
- 36th day: Death of the human body
