Shroom and Gloom
Shroom and Gloom places the player in a dimly lit dungeon where every move depends on the cards in their hand. As the player advances, they face bizarre mushroom-like enemies and collect resources to expand their deck. The gameplay blends first-person dungeon crawling with strategic turn-based combat, requiring players to balance offense, defense, and special effects. Every card played has weight, and poor planning can lead to being overwhelmed in just a few turns.
Choices That Shape Survival
Players gather mushrooms scattered throughout the dungeon, which serve as a key to upgrades and new cards. Some rooms offer risk-reward opportunities, where players can trade health for rare items or take on powerful enemies for greater rewards. The dungeon unfolds one room at a time, and the player must decide whether to explore further or retreat to preserve what they’ve gained.
A Claustrophobic Loop of Risk and Reward
The art style supports the tight, enclosed design of the game, with low ceilings, flickering lights, and walls that seem to shift as you move. The minimalist 3D visuals give space for the card system and audio cues to drive tension. Shroom and Gloom thrives on repetition and refinement—each failed run offers insight, and each successful one unlocks tools for future attempts. It’s a loop built around learning how to survive in a space that constantly reacts to your presence.
