Student Narrative
This book explores evolution, decay, and decomposition of animals in a world infected by fungus. Laid out, the box structure can be played with like a board game. As players progress, they discover different tetrapod animals and different kinds of fungus. Some discoveries have been logged, but the world leaves more to explore through free-form gameplay.
