What is Shroom and Gloom?
Officially confirmed facts only.
Shroom and Gloom is a moody first-person roguelike double-deckbuilder where you gather and grow cards to hack, slash and roast your way through hand-drawn dungeons of fungal foes.
Its signature system uses two distinct decks: a combat deck to survive fierce battles and an explore deck to navigate dungeons, modify your cards, and unlock new weapons and abilities as you push toward the heart of The Gloom.
The Early Access launch adds two paths and five playable characters: Paperboy, Janitor, Lunchlady, Activist, and Concerned Parent. The Mysterious Facility has its own card pools, enemies, and rewards, while quests unlock advanced characters and access to the Facility.
