Meridiem has officially announced the release of the physical edition of Smells Like a Mushroom, the humorous third-person shooter/platformer developed by Red Limb Studio and digitally published by Fatal Error and Destructive Creations. Titled the Smells Like a Mushroom - 100% Vegan Edition, this version will be available for PlayStation 5 in European retail stores starting November 12th, 2024. The game’s premise revolves around ancient fungal organisms whose intelligence surpasses that of all living beings, with a singular mission: extermination, infection, and reproduction. Humanity is extinct, leaving Earth’s plants as the last hope to fend off this fungal invasion.

In this wacky, post-apocalyptic world, the plants must fight for survival against the mushroom menace. The absurdity extends beyond the action-packed gameplay, featuring amusing dialogues, a unique electronic soundtrack, and a plot filled with references to human pop culture. Even the fictional president, A. Lincorn of the United Plates, can't predict if these plants will succeed in their battle against the fungal threat.

Meridiem is ensuring the 100% Vegan Edition stands out, with a striking neon-effect packaging and exclusive items for fans. This edition includes a playful sticker set and a special Boss Guide to help players tackle the many challenges in this quirky adventure. With its mix of action, humor, and pop culture nods, Smells Like a Mushroom promises to entertain shooter and platformer enthusiasts alike.

The physical edition brings even more value to the experience, enhancing the game with tangible collectibles and a distinct aesthetic. The collaboration between Meridiem, Red Limb Studio, and its digital publishers makes this edition a must-have for fans looking to dive into the chaotic, plant-fueled battle against ancient fungi.
