Episodes

This article will try to keep track of any changes made during Mush patches and any additions between new Episodes.

Prologue

The Prologue was Mush's beta period.

Mush was in closed beta status from 19 August 2013 until launch on 5 November 2013. The earliest beta testers were invited directly by Epoq, the game's administrator, with limited-use beta keys being released on Facebook and Twitter as time went on.

Initial voyages were extremely limited in functionality. Motion Twin wanted to make sure that a particular module was well tested before releasing new modules for the crews to use and experiment with.
