Visuals and Atmosphere
The quaint pixel-art aesthetic of the game imparts an image of a mysterious forest at night with glowing bioluminescent fungi and the eerie calmness. The mushrooms are given personalities, with each guard being stoic, others sleepy and others delighted the battlefield by giving unexpected life and humor to it.
