South African indie studio Team Lazerbeam is riding a wave of momentum with their upcoming title Shroom and Gloom. After launching a fresh demo on Steam last month, the team doubled down in June with rapid updates and refinements and the response has been nothing short of spectacular.

Working closely with their community, Team Lazerbeam rolled out a string of improvements, listening to player feedback to deliver the most polished experience possible. The result? A flood of enthusiastic responses that have pushed the demo’s recent review score into the coveted “Overwhelmingly Positive” category on Steam.

But the celebrations didn’t stop there. Shroom and Gloom was spotlighted at not one, but two major showcases this past month; Steam’s Turn Based Fest and Alpha Beta Gamer’s Games To Get Excited About. These appearances gave the quirky dungeon crawler even greater visibility among fans of turn-based adventures.

Perhaps the biggest milestone came with the announcement that within just its first month on Steam, Shroom and Gloom has already racked up more than 50,000 wishlists. For a small indie team, this kind of support is monumental, showing a clear appetite for the studio’s unique brand of creativity. IT could also be attributed to the Devolver Digital effect who are adept at marketing games of this calibre.

Team Lazerbeam expressed gratitude to their growing player base:

“The support has meant the world to us, and left us more stoked than ever to keep working on this wonderful game!”

With glowing reviews, festival buzz, and a rapidly growing fanbase, Shroom and Gloom is shaping up to be one of the standout indie titles to watch. You can wishlist the game on Steam now.
