Mushroom Marketplace

☕ STEP BEHIND THE CAFE COUNTER
Watch your dream café come to life in beautiful, hand-drawn vector art. Greet an array of quirky, travelling visitors—like wandering bards, gentle bears and elusive woodland witches. As the coins come in you can use your earnings to build up your shop's infrastructure. Add extra stools to hold a bigger customer queue, increase the size of your tea tank or invest in charming decor to make your visitors just a little more patient.

🧩 THE SECRET GARDEN BENEATH THE FLOORBOARDS
While your cozy café bustles upstairs, the real magic happens just beneath the counter! Under the surface sits a delightful, strategic puzzle where you draft packs of whimsically illustrated mushroom cards to plant across your 5x5 soil garden. Placement is everything here—your little mushrooms carry unique tags and love company, showering you with bonuses when nestled next to the right neighbours, matching pairs or supportive glowing auras. Every ten seconds your garden happily brews a fresh batch of tea to fill your tank. Keep a close eye on your inventory so your delicious brews don’t spill over before they are automatically poured for the eager line of customers upstairs!

🥚 INCUBATE, RAISE AND EVOLVE YOUR COMPANIONS
Salvage mysterious Companion Eggs from the deepest shadows of the woods and bring them back to your enchanted greenhouse nursery. Watch your eggs visibly grow through 5 cute stages until they hatch into unique pets that trail behind you, granting powerful passive buffs to your café business. You can even spend your hard-earned Golden Spores to evolve them into majestic, boss-tier forms with doubled effects!

🏆 PROGRESS THAT CARRIES OVER
A permanent meta-progression framework sits above your daily shop loops. Your Collection Book entries, discovered forest relics, lifetime leaderboard ranks and unlocked companion evolutions carry over forever across all playthroughs—ensuring that every single run, win or lose, pushes you closer to uncovering the forest's final underground mystery.
