About This Game

Once upon a time, there was a lonesome Recluse , plagued with the desire to raise a child. Wandering nearby, the strange Witch of the Woods couldn't help but overhear this wish, and with a twisted humor gifted them a pot of dirt. Help guide the Recluse through the maze of fungal parenthood, then discover how many types of person (mushroom?) your Daughter can become!

When one Daughter falls, start over and discover new corners of the world... and a treasure trove of secrets and unlockables!


Raising a child is hard, raising a mushroom is no easier. Any little thing you do can change your Daughter's path in life - will she grow into a pretty little Fly Agaric or an uncanny and indomitable Cordyceps? A parent's role is key, so take it seriously... or perhaps you'd rather relax. There's always next time, after all!



The world of Mushroom Musume is fun and unusual, full of whimsical moments and unexpected dark corners. Discover shocking new outcomes and twists in familiar events by playing again as a different Daughter. Choose alternate paths, and gain a more complete picture of this odd world. Perhaps even spend time in a tale-within-a-tale and see the world through (slightly less) fungal-colored glasses...



Each Daughter grown earns you Spores, which you can then spend between runs to buy permanent upgrades. Cultivate your personal garden and gain improvements for future daughters, or maybe receive a rare item from the local summoning circle instead. Featuring exclusive music, unlockable mushroom girls, in-universe notes, and more!



You can find almost any color in fungi, and that's true of your Daughter too. Collect memories of Daughters past, colors, music, and more in your own personal Mushroom Almanac. With tons of treats to discover, foraging for everything could take years!



We offer an extensive demo of Mushroom Musume and welcome you to try it for yourself. The demo allows you to experience a wide slice of the game without any of the planned meta-progression elements, featuring...

• 180,000+ words of story
  
• Hundreds of photographs and illustrations
  
• Over an hour and a half of beautiful and haunting music
  ...So please, take a seat and enjoy your time spent as a mycological parent!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

In this game, both good and bad things can happen to the Daughter, and she can choose to do good and bad things as well. There are undetailed portrayals of murder, general fantasy violence, and mushrooms do have a habit of occasionally being drugs... Please bear these things in mind when playing!
