About Smushi Come Home
Smushi Come Home is a cozy adventure where you guide a tiny mushroom named Smushi after it is dropped into a forest. The game blends light platforming, simple puzzles, and conversations with quirky forest creatures as you search for a way back home.
Exploration proceeds at your own pace across distinct forest zones. The title supports full controller input, offers Steam Achievements, cloud‑saved progress, and Family Sharing, all within a single‑player experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Forest Exploration
The forest is split into separate areas that you can travel between without a timer. Each zone has its own visual style and terrain, encouraging you to choose the movement tool that best fits the environment.
While wandering, Mycology Journal entries appear when you encounter new mushroom types. These entries provide real‑world facts and act as a reference for where you have already been.
- Look for visual cues that indicate climbable surfaces before attempting to ascend.
- Use the journal to confirm which mushrooms you have already documented.
02 / THE GUIDE
Movement Tools
Smushi can run, glide, climb, and swim, each designed for a specific terrain type. Running covers ground quickly, gliding bridges gaps, climbing reaches higher platforms, and swimming lets you cross water sections.
You will run, glide, climb, and swim your way through different areas of the forest, keeping traversal varied as the landscape changes.
- Try each movement type in a low‑risk area to feel its range and speed.
- Combine gliding with a quick climb to reach ledges that are otherwise hidden.

Creature Interactions
Throughout the journey you meet quirky forest creatures. Some characters offer assistance, while others ask for help, creating brief side encounters that add narrative depth.
These dialogues are optional but can provide hints about nearby paths or puzzle solutions, giving you extra information without imposing mandatory objectives.
- Listen carefully to each creature’s dialogue; subtle direction cues are often included.
- If a creature requests help, consider responding—it may open a shortcut later.

- Refer to the journal’s mushroom facts to learn more about the species you encounter.

Skins are unlocked as you play, offering a visual reward that lets you personalize Smushi’s appearance.
