A relaxing creative game where you care for your shroomies and make them a cozy little home in a big mushroom and take nice pictures!

Shroomies are small demi-spirits of the forest who are known for settling into mushrooms! In shroomchitect, a small group of shroomies has just found a brand new mushroom and they trust you to help them turn it into a welcoming home at least as cute as they are!

🤗 A stress-free, cute, warm and wholesome game
🔨 Help your shroomies build a comfy base
💖 Care for them like virtual pets
📸 Take pictures with the built-in photo mode
⏱ Play sessions average upwards of 30 minutes
🎨 Homebrew voxel graphics and pixel-art
🎶 Original lo-fi soundtrack by Pentadrangle

How to play:

The game can be played with only a mouse! The only think that requires a keyboard is renaming your shroomies, but that's completely optional.

The game features an in-game tutorial which explains all the controls.

Shroomchitect is an atmospheric creative game. It's inspired of games like Townscaper, The Sims and Dwarf Fortress, but offers an experience of a much smaller and accessible scope. It's a warm, relaxing experience, and it even features a photo-mode!

There isn't a boss to beat or a goal to achieve, or even a gameover to avoid, just make a nice little home, keep your shroomies happy, take some neat pictures, and have a good time!
