Shroom and Gloom entered Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026. The full version does not have a confirmed release date. The developer currently estimates an Early Access period of roughly 12–24 months, but that is a plan rather than a deadline.
The release timeline has three distinct stages.
| Stage | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| itch.io Prototype | Version 0.4.77.1 remains listed | An older public prototype from the game's development history; it is not the current Steam release. |
| Steam Demo | Available separately | A free demo app with its own public build. Its content and saves should not be assumed to match or carry into Early Access. |
| Steam Early Access | Launched Sep 10, 2026 | The current paid development release, with its own public branch and ongoing updates. |

The official September 10 launch announcement describes two playable paths, five characters, quests, autosaving after combat and when leaving a dungeon, controller support, and Simplified Chinese localization. Those details describe the launch build and may expand or change during development.
Early Access means the game is available to play while development continues. It does not mean the developers have announced that the game is feature-complete.
There is no confirmed 1.0 date.
The Steam Early Access answers say the team expects development to remain in Early Access for approximately 12–24 months. Treat that as the team's current estimate, not a guaranteed release window. Production plans can change as content is tested and updated.
The same answers say the team currently does not plan to change the price between Early Access and full release. That is also a stated plan, not a permanent price promise. Regional pricing and store pricing can change, so this page does not hardcode a price.
Windows and macOS are the confirmed platforms.
The current Steam store listing names Windows and macOS and describes the game as single-player. We found no official PS5 or Nintendo Switch announcement in the sources reviewed on September 13, 2026.
