Red Limb Studio, in collaboration with Fatal Error and Destructive Creations, is launching Smells Like a Mushroom, a quirky and action-packed platformer that’s out now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

A Fungus Among Us
In a galaxy where humans are extinct and vegetables rule the Earth, a new threat emerges: parasitic mushrooms from outer space.
These fungal fiends, led by the nefarious Satanus Boletus, have infested the Milky Way, and it’s up to a brave carrot named Carrotado and his veggie companions to save the day.
