Hello there! Greetings from Brazil I’m Luiz Eduardo, an English teacher with a deep passion for games and languages.
I recently discovered your game, and it immediately stood out — it looks fantastic and full of potential. As a gamer and an English teacher from Brazil, I was truly excited by it!
im actually so in love with this game. i think i already played it 5 times because its sooo cute and fun. tbh i look so often for anny updates or sneak peaks for the new update.
Hi again, Emily! I'm so pleasantly surprised by your continued support and dedicated love for the game! I think you are the biggest fan of the game. You'll have more sneak-peeks to see soon, because the Steam page is almost ready to go live (hopefully in a week or so), containing plenty of new screenshots and a trailer! I really hope you like the new girls.
Your messages over these months bring me great joy, and I'd love to add you to the credits of the expanded game on Steam, if you'd like that too. If so, let me know how I should refer to you there :)
Thank you so much for these messages. Hope you are doing well!
aww your so cute that you actually remember me. im suprised by myself that this game is so deep i my thoughts.
the thought about the fact, that the game maybe gets released this year makes me sooo happy and excited. im so glad that i downloaded this game. im really in love with this game.
sure you can add me to the credits. tbh that sounds a bit too much for just a 13 year old girl (yup im 13) but sure you can put my name somewhere, i dont mind :) and ofc it would be okay if you dont do it or just forgett it .
im so happy that my messages bring you joy. that really makes me happy
no need to thank me. and i hope your doing well too :)
never give up on this game !!!!! it will be great and i bet a lot will love it <3333333
Sorry it took so long for me to respond! I was busy putting the game on Steam, and it's finally done.
When it comes to sending comments like you have, age doesn't really matter. You were still an important part of this development so I wanted to extend my thanks. You're now in the credits of the new demo :)
The game will be coming out this year, sometime in the last term of the year. Its age rating will be 16+ for the full game, which is a little unfortunate.
Regardless of when/if you ever play the full game, I'll always appreciate your encouragement.
the steam page looks FANTASTIC. the trailer is sooooo good and makes me all excited.
im on the credits of the new demo? wow that makes me feel really special. i need to check that out later.
im so excited for the game. even though it will be 16+ i think my dad wont have annything against it. i mean he knows how in love i am with button. he even watched me playing the game and i gave him updates (even though he wasnt really interested lol). if i cant play the game i sure will watch the gameplay on yt (if there will be gameplay).
ill give you an update someday if im alowed to play the full game or not. i know i definitely will write a comment here again. i cant just forget the game yk?
if im not allowed and i found a gameplay i will write my opinion in a comment.
Nearly! The new mushroom girls' routes are done - all that's left is for me to set up the Steam page (currently I'm waiting for Steamworks to approve that) and release the trailer and you'll be able to wishlist it :) Thank you for your patience so far.
Dude, this game was PEAK! MWUA! Got all the endings. :3 I just really wish there was one where she didn't have to dieeeee. Like some secret, really hard to get ending that somehow keeps her alive, but alas... 😭
hi do you have an idea on what the the red sport mushroom girl looks like and the the one that lasts 1 day(that's kinda messed up to say)but pls tell me an idea
I can only show you one of character sketches that I've already made public. It's just a sketch, so the final version of her character is a secret for now. If you want to see the full designs, please look forward to the final game!
(Also the lifespans of the mushrooms have been altered in the final game so also look forward to that!)
OMG that is such a good game. i hope it will have an update soon mabey he buys buton again but she doesnt remembers him or a new mushroom? i hope the update will be there next year
WOW that was great! I am sure I will forget some of the things I want to write, but wow that was a great game!
The art is beautiful and also very cute!
I really liked the inner-thoughts-narrator! It was hilarious!
After trying to get to all the different endings, I could not help but to get more and more attached to the MC and Button. It got me very emotional. A mushroom life is way too short! WHYYYYYY!?!?!?
The story was really a fun ride, but quite emotional, or even dark at time! Silly-FUN and Drama all packed in one incredible bundle! Some parts of the story went fairly deep in reflexion about our world/existence.
I was wondering if the MC will ever be able to order other sentient Mushrooms???? Regardless, I am very curious about what you will do next! Keep up the good work!!!!
What a lovely review! I'm glad you liked the narrator, the art, and the themes I wrote.
Yes, there will be two more mushrooms the MC can order - I am working on them right now, and will make an announcement when they are done. Hopefully just before the end of 2024!
Thank you for your interest, support, and for giving my game a chance. Your comment motivated me :)
Shit fucked me UP. But in a good way. Seriously, I had not anticipated this to be as deep as it was. To touch on so many themes as it did. For it to be a commentary on, among many others, knowing when to let go, the grim realities of struggles in relationships among people impacted by mental health issues, a beautiful mirror to how you treat yourself, etc etc. All in all, as ashamed as I am to admit that now, I HUGELY underestimated this, and those low expectation were quite literally blown out of the park
Hi there! Here is a quick step-by-step guide to playing the game:
1) Download it on your computer. Note: Make sure if you have a Windows computer, you download the Windows file. If you have a Mac computer, download the mac file instead. You say you've downloaded it already, so you can skip this step if you downloaded the right one.
2) Go to the downloaded file. It should end with ".zip".
3) Right click on it and "extract" the files. This will create a new folder.
4) Open that new folder and look for the ".exe" file. That's the game! Just double-click it to play.
Good luck and hope this helps! If not, you can detail the problem and I can guide you from there.
Hey Trubluls, I was just wondering how the game was going since your last update. I hope it's going great, and don't feel bad if you need more time, working on games can take some time, especially with such a unique plot.
I realise now how ambitious I was in wanting to have both routes done by mid-year. I takes a lot more time than I expected. I also didn't anticipate how much I'd need to learn and redo. On the plus, I think I've gotten better at drawing and coding :)
Now that the story is more or less finalised, I'm working on replacing all the placeholder art assets with their final forms, playing the game multiple times and making sure I feel good about it. Then the music composer and I will work together on new songs, or even replacing old ones. After that, I need the extra time to do some drawings for marketing/make a trailer.
At this point in time, I think the expanded game will still come out within 2024, just closer to the end of the year. I agree with you that it's smarter (and healthier) to spend more time on it making sure it's a better experience for everyone.
hey can you help me with this please I just tried to download it but it won’t so I clicked won’t download I enabled it and this time it won’t download I tried anything so can you please fix it I want to play the game so badly it’s looks amazing and fun
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble downloading the game. There is probably be something on your computer that is preventing the download. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is anything I can do for you.
Also, this game is geared towards a mature audience, so while it might look fun, it can be very dark as well, so please exercise caution! This game is not for everyone.
I BEEN CRYING FOR AN HOUR CAUSE OF BUTTON BUT I love this game is so good am definitely looking forward to the full game to come and fully supporting you guys!!! Goo job ('w')/
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support!! I’m glad you loved Button and that her route gave you a good cry :) I hope you’ll like the new characters too when they’re done.
I loved this game so much, especially the last two endings, it was all so emotional and I was able to relate to both Button and the mc on such a deep Level. I'm so excited for the upcoming update and I am more than willing to pay for the new features! Keep your work up!!<3
Aw, thank you so much, Strawberry! It's so lovely to hear that you enjoyed the game and could relate so strongly to both the characters. Thank you for being excited for the update and for all the support! Comments like these are so motivating <3
As A Person who believes every creature can have a Happy Ending.... And as a Big Flowers lover i gotta say......can i sell my Soul for her to Stay and Extra day
Waiting for the mushroom to die, accepting death her death was sad but worth it, great game. (It would be nice if you could extend her life by buying something in the laptop but it kind of ruins the experience)
Hi there. To start playing the game, you need to 1) download the game, then 2) extract the .zip folder, then 3) start the .exe application in the extracted folder.
If that’s not the problem, please explain your situation and I’ll try my best to help you.
Here a tip: disable the back feature, i did end 9 easier from using the back tool, and like if you want another death ending, have opitions where it dosent auto give an ending and when your in buttons personality, on day 3, maybe an ending could be button discovered y/ns body and like she also ends herself and it like ending 10: Till death do us part. the name could make sense especially if you socialized with button.
Thanks for playing and for the idea! I Maybe I should try disable the ability to scroll back just for that section... I do want it outside of the challenge, as I honestly like that players can easily scroll back if they accidentally miss dialogue. It also makes going back to previous choices easier for finding endings.
also maybe so people decide to finish the game, have artwork for the endings, like in ending 3, he just sits alone in his room with a random shadow with horns and red eyes like speaking in his ear, and button just walks out of the door. for ending for end 4, it could be the y/n eating it in the kitchen and like ramen cups scattered around the room
I really like your ideas! Thank you so much for the suggestion and inspiration! You describe it really well and I can almost see it in my head already.
ngl i wanna just give some ideas so like insted theirs 2 different routes for y/n ending their live, if button socialized with him alot, she dies with him, if she didint, she just like buys another mushroom to talk with before they both die
I started playing after seeing LaurenZside's video! Loved It soo much! I love your art, and wish that there was a way to keep Button alive. Overall, cutest game I've played!!
Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving such a sweet comment! A lot of people seem to want Button to live longer so I’ll take that as a sign that you guys like her :)
I've never tried making an Android version of anything, so it'll take some research, but I'd really like it to be accessible to anyone, so I'll see what I can do :)
Mate,ur awesome..an android version would make my day..just remember,Only do that if you want to. Your work is really worth a lot to me, and that's enough for me.Have a wonderful day🍀;)
i had an idea of him pulling out a red mushroom girl with her hair down and like a long dress with red mary jane shoes and like a big hat and she has a more elagant form
OMGOODNESS This game was sooooo good especially for this being your first game you've made. Thank you for making this. It really brings out your emotions and you get attached. Spoiler btw. I really wish she didn't have to die but overall loved the story. I know you probably won't do this, but can you make an ending where she can live longer, not forever obviously, but maybe he finds a way to add a few more days or even a week to her lifespan so they can have more time together. It could be a secret ending or something. But its ok if you don't add it. Anyways thank you again for this game, and please make more. I'm now following you to keep up to date with your posts. Love your art too btw.
Thank you so much for playing and enjoying the game so much! I'm glad you want to spend more time with Button :) I'll see for the final game, but can't promise anything right now. Seems a lot of people want that, so it's something to bear in mind.
Also, thanks for following me and saying you love my art! That's so motivating to hear and I really appreciate your interest in the game. The next post on itchio will probably be closer to the game's release, but if you want to follow the game's progress I'm also posting on my Patreon.
So did I lol, the other endings that Lauren didn't get isn't worse compared to the last 2 ending. when I say worse I mean triggering. Really loved the game play.
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my page. If you've watched LaurenZSide's video completely, then you're already past the worst bits. I hope you enjoy, if you do end up playing!
Hi! It's notorious the effort and love put on this work! Story, art and music were all lovely. Now...
SPOILER ALERT
(like seriously, this might be heavy spoiler, please don't continue if you haven't completed the game yet)
When I was missing the last two endings, I thought there could be an ending where Button lived a bit longer at the price of not going to the beach and maybe having a more boring life (I thought ending 6 suggested some sort of hint with how salty the last meal was). But anyways, the last two endings are very good. In fact, in my opinion, they were even necessary, as they expand on the story's message, which leads me to the next point.
I really liked how the game in general not only dealt with death, existential dread and depression in a realistic and relatable way, but also showed how the characters handled with them differently depending on the choices: whether they tried their best to live as happy as they could despite their inner struggles, or they couldn't overcome the dread and felt miserable. It's very interesting how Button seems to kind of have understood death and its consequences even before really mentioning it to her, though depending on her perspective about it (influenced by the player) she decided to live happily even if it wasn't going to be for very long... or not.
I gotta admit when the protagonist talks about death it was way too relatable with my own experience. Even the "it would be cool to be immortal" part. I thought I was weird for thinking that, but it seems that may be a more common idea than I thought.
I tend not to cry often for stories, but I contributed a bit (ton) to the tears bucket this time, hehe. Speaking for myself (and for many others, I guess) that's certainly a sign that everyone who developed the game made a very good job with character development, and the smooth and deep treatment of serious topics.
Again, thank you very much for such a wonderful experience :'D
NOTE: By the way, I don't know if my deleted comment appears there, but it happened that my clumsy hands pressed some weird combination and it was sent before finishing lol. As a side note, the guys behind Meet n' Eat gotta be breaking human rights as a sport, man...
This is such a sweet comment! Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving me with your thoughts and compliments, Awserz.
I’m glad you like the last two endings, despite how much they deviate from the other ones, and that the themes were dealt with in a way that felt natural. It’s also a personal win when I hear that someone felt their own thoughts reflected during this game :)
Your side note made me laugh. The guys at Meet ‘n Eat definitely don’t care about anyone’s rights. I think they don’t even consider the mushroom girls as anything other than a novelty object.
Lastly, thank you for your salty contribution to the tears bucket :) Hope you have a great weekend!
This is so well done!!! Great job to everyone who worked on this! I really adore how well dynamic audio is utilized here! <3
My criticism is that when music loops back, the music stopped for a split second. I recommend to change the mp3 files to ogg as it makes looping seamless.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, and especially the tip on making audio loops more seamless! I'll tell the composer so it can be even better for the full release :D I'm also glad you like how we used dynamic audio - I really liked implementing it and it's wasn't as tricky as I'd feared.

Hopefully the other girls will make me cry as Button made me
Sadism unintended, but I hope so too :)
Hello there! Greetings from Brazil I’m Luiz Eduardo, an English teacher with a deep passion for games and languages.
I recently discovered your game, and it immediately stood out — it looks fantastic and full of potential. As a gamer and an English teacher from Brazil, I was truly excited by it!
If you're thinking about adding Brazilian Portuguese to your game, I’d love to help! Check out some of my work and ongoing projects here: https://www.notion.so/Teacher-Eduardo-s-Game-Localization-2005ffab6f748092b633e7a4b30faa9b

I NEED AN ANDRIOD VERSION😭
how can i play this ive downloaded it 4 times but i cant play it!?
Hi there! Here is a quick step-by-step guide to playing the game:

anyways(PLEASE MAKE BUTTON LIVE LONGER) i will literally cry for her so many tears in the tear bucket like a whole gallon
Um so hi i'm pretty sure my comment got deleted it do you know how to bring it back? no worries if you can thank you if you can't no worries
Sadly it is not possible for me to do anything to recover comments that have been deleted. Thanks for playing the game and leaving a comment though!
is the mc cannon name finn
Kind of! "Finn" is his default name if you can't think of one for him, and he thinks of it from his dead pet fish.
Hey Trubluls, I was just wondering how the game was going since your last update. I hope it's going great, and don't feel bad if you need more time, working on games can take some time, especially with such a unique plot.

I have a question, does the boy/mc have a real canon name? ( Asking because he's cute and have a crush on him>< )
His default name is “Finn”. I’m glad you think he’s cute! Thanks for the comment :)
TYYY He's genuinely so fucking adorable I'm squealing
Just got ending six. ;-; I'm crying so much ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-; ;-;
Thank you for playing and contributing to Button’s tears bucket!
Why can´t you call yourself Button? It would be great when all Characters are called Button
(also great Game, love it)
I just thought it would get really confusing XD
(also thanks!)
I BEEN CRYING FOR AN HOUR CAUSE OF BUTTON BUT I love this game is so good am definitely looking forward to the full game to come and fully supporting you guys!!! Goo job ('w')/
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support!! I’m glad you loved Button and that her route gave you a good cry :) I hope you’ll like the new characters too when they’re done.
I loved this game so much, especially the last two endings, it was all so emotional and I was able to relate to both Button and the mc on such a deep Level. I'm so excited for the upcoming update and I am more than willing to pay for the new features! Keep your work up!!<3
Aw, thank you so much, Strawberry! It's so lovely to hear that you enjoyed the game and could relate so strongly to both the characters. Thank you for being excited for the update and for all the support! Comments like these are so motivating <3
As A Person who believes every creature can have a Happy Ending.... And as a Big Flowers lover i gotta say......can i sell my Soul for her to Stay and Extra day
This is probably your reaction to what i said
No soul needed! Button's happy just spending time with you :) no matter how much time that is.
Guess it cannot be Helpled... It was a Pleasure.... Sorry for the Grammar in the Last Comment kind Of Wrote it in a hurry
Waiting for the mushroom to die, accepting death her death was sad but worth it, great game. (It would be nice if you could extend her life by buying something in the laptop but it kind of ruins the experience)
bruhhhh how do you even play it I downloaded it but how do I play it please respond. :

it won't run what do I do
Hello, do you still need help?
If you let me know where you are getting stuck, I can try to assist you.
I don't even know what to say... The game is exciting! But it's a pity that it's so small(
I'm really looking forward to new versions!
I'm glad you're excited for the full version! Thanks for playing :)
I love this game sm but fr id die to see what the other mushrooms look like when you get the truffled mind ending🙏🙏🙏
i had an idea of him pulling out a red mushroom girl with her hair down and like a long dress with red mary jane shoes and like a big hat and she has a more elagant form
Please please please please please please please make a secret ending where she gets to live and be happy however that may be :(((
We will see... ;)
Fr bro laurenzside traumatized me trying to keep her alive
OMGOODNESS This game was sooooo good especially for this being your first game you've made. Thank you for making this. It really brings out your emotions and you get attached. Spoiler btw. I really wish she didn't have to die but overall loved the story. I know you probably won't do this, but can you make an ending where she can live longer, not forever obviously, but maybe he finds a way to add a few more days or even a week to her lifespan so they can have more time together. It could be a secret ending or something. But its ok if you don't add it. Anyways thank you again for this game, and please make more. I'm now following you to keep up to date with your posts. Love your art too btw.
Thank you so much for playing and enjoying the game so much! I'm glad you want to spend more time with Button :) I'll see for the final game, but can't promise anything right now. Seems a lot of people want that, so it's something to bear in mind.
Also, thanks for following me and saying you love my art! That's so motivating to hear and I really appreciate your interest in the game. The next post on itchio will probably be closer to the game's release, but if you want to follow the game's progress I'm also posting on my Patreon.
Anyway, hope you have a good week!
Came from LaurenZSide's playing of this, reminds me of Mushroom Musume!
There's something really interesting with the theme of literally growing a person! Or maybe that's just a raising sim.
Probably gonna bookmark this and try it later. The warnings are making me wary though~! Cool idea!
So did I lol, the other endings that Lauren didn't get isn't worse compared to the last 2 ending. when I say worse I mean triggering. Really loved the game play.
Hi there! Thanks for checking out my page. If you've watched LaurenZSide's video completely, then you're already past the worst bits. I hope you enjoy, if you do end up playing!
Hi! It's notorious the effort and love put on this work! Story, art and music were all lovely. Now...
SPOILER ALERT
(like seriously, this might be heavy spoiler, please don't continue if you haven't completed the game yet)
When I was missing the last two endings, I thought there could be an ending where Button lived a bit longer at the price of not going to the beach and maybe having a more boring life (I thought ending 6 suggested some sort of hint with how salty the last meal was). But anyways, the last two endings are very good. In fact, in my opinion, they were even necessary, as they expand on the story's message, which leads me to the next point.
I really liked how the game in general not only dealt with death, existential dread and depression in a realistic and relatable way, but also showed how the characters handled with them differently depending on the choices: whether they tried their best to live as happy as they could despite their inner struggles, or they couldn't overcome the dread and felt miserable. It's very interesting how Button seems to kind of have understood death and its consequences even before really mentioning it to her, though depending on her perspective about it (influenced by the player) she decided to live happily even if it wasn't going to be for very long... or not.
I gotta admit when the protagonist talks about death it was way too relatable with my own experience. Even the "it would be cool to be immortal" part. I thought I was weird for thinking that, but it seems that may be a more common idea than I thought.
I tend not to cry often for stories, but I contributed a bit
(ton)to the tears bucket this time, hehe. Speaking for myself (and for many others, I guess) that's certainly a sign that everyone who developed the game made a very good job with character development, and the smooth and deep treatment of serious topics.Again, thank you very much for such a wonderful experience :'D
NOTE: By the way, I don't know if my deleted comment appears there, but it happened that my clumsy hands pressed some weird combination and it was sent before finishing lol. As a side note, the guys behind Meet n' Eat gotta be breaking human rights as a sport, man...This is such a sweet comment! Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving me with your thoughts and compliments, Awserz.
I’m glad you like the last two endings, despite how much they deviate from the other ones, and that the themes were dealt with in a way that felt natural. It’s also a personal win when I hear that someone felt their own thoughts reflected during this game :)
Your side note made me laugh. The guys at Meet ‘n Eat definitely don’t care about anyone’s rights. I think they don’t even consider the mushroom girls as anything other than a novelty object.
Lastly, thank you for your salty contribution to the tears bucket :) Hope you have a great weekend!
This is so well done!!! Great job to everyone who worked on this! I really adore how well dynamic audio is utilized here! <3
My criticism is that when music loops back, the music stopped for a split second. I recommend to change the mp3 files to ogg as it makes looping seamless.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, and especially the tip on making audio loops more seamless! I'll tell the composer so it can be even better for the full release :D I'm also glad you like how we used dynamic audio - I really liked implementing it and it's wasn't as tricky as I'd feared.
