This game has no cutscenes or clear explanation as to what's currently going on or what led to the present situation. Some things could be inferred, but it'd be a large leap to state anything definitively. With something like this, you'd normally look for symbolism, some kind of allegory or deeper message/point as to what's taking place. We could assume it's a simple environmental message along the lines of Wall-E, but what we see of the technology and desolate left-overs of civilization doesn't strongly convey that humanity went too far. Also, since I wound up hating the accursed mushroom I was controlling throughout the game, seeing it spread, while destroying other life forms, doesn't endear me to it any further or feel like the ending is hopeful or awe-inspiring. It just makes me feel like I've spread a parasite further into the world that's already suffered enough, and I should have let this damned thing die in a pit of lava. Overall, I find the end result of this game, in both its controls and story, to be a confusing mess I'm all too happy to leave behind and forget about.
