Shroom and Gloom

Shroom and Gloom is a first-person roguelike deckbuilder set in a world of mushroom enemies. Players fight their way through dungeons towards an area known as The Gloom, using cards to attack and cook the fungal creatures they encounter. The game features hundreds of cards in total.

The central mechanic is the use of two distinct decks. The combat deck is used during battles, while the explore deck is used to move through dungeons, alter existing cards, and unlock new weapons and abilities. Cards can be modified and upgraded repeatedly with no fixed cap, so low-level starting cards can be developed into far stronger attacks and rare cards can be reshaped into more powerful forms.

Rather than relying on blocking, the game places emphasis on defeating and eating enemies to recover health. Enemies can be seasoned, skewered or roasted before being consumed, and roasted foes can also be placed in a pot to make soups that provide additional effects. Visually, the game combines hand-drawn art and animation with a range of 3D environments.
