These are some fungi and fun looking games. See what I did there?
Indie game publisher Mad Mushroom has today revealed its initial slate of titles that will launch in 2027, debuting two new portfolio titles: Mouseward and Ignitement.
Mouseward is an N64-inspired soulslike collectathon launching on Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch in late 2027. Developed by Finite Reflection Studios, a demo is currently available on Steam.
Ignitement is a survivorslike and roguelike with unique fire and smoke physics from solo developer Sørb Games. Set to launch on Steam in Q1 of 2027, a demo is currently available to play.
These titles join A Short Quest, a first-person RPG inspired by old-school adventures from Silent Moon, as Mad Mushroom’s 2027 slate of indie games.
Soulslike Design Meets Collectathon Charm in Mouseward
Mouseward blends true soulslike combat and intricate level design with the charm and progression systems of a classic Nintendo 64 collectathon.
A calamitous starfall has shattered your once-bright woodland kingdom. Unbroken in death, take up your sword as a reawakened Mouse Knight and protect the realm from a threat born of the heavens.
Encounter a diverse bestiary of corrupted foes and master your parries, dodges, and spellcasting in deliberate, stamina-based combat. Discover a variety of weapons, armor sets, and arcane abilities as you journey through a land full of hidden paths, cryptic clues, and environmental puzzles. Collect scattered star fragments to unlock powerful new abilities, recipes, and routes.
Master the Flame and Incinerate Your Inner Demons in Ignitement
Ignitement is a survivorslike and roguelike featuring unique fire and smoke physics and set within the broiling inner mind of a Fire Shaman.
Burn away hordes of your own inner demons by unleashing fire-based attacks with real weight, impact, and flow. Choose from ancestral masks reflecting your inner self, each accessing different attacks and abilities. Pool your knowledge into dozens of mystical skills, abilities, and upgrades, crafting your spells and shaping your flame in each run.
Ascend through a metaphysical underworld crafted from your own grief, regret, and rage. Loot and refine rare relics from the labyrinth of your mind, echoes of your ancestors to aid you in your quest.
Demo for First-Person RPG A Short Quest Coming Soon
Inspired by classic adventures like King’s Field, Gothic, and early Elder Scrolls titles, A Short Quest is a nostalgic yet modern first-person RPG from a two-man dev team.
Explore a hand-crafted world where creativity is rewarded through challenging combat, immersive environments and secrets to solve. Grow your character by collecting loot, leveling up skills, and honing specializations without having to grind for hours.
Currently available to playtest on Steam, a public demo of A Short Quest is coming soon and the full game will launch on Steam in the first half of 2027.
