About the Game

Your ship is falling. Something wants you here.

Fungal Descent is a first-person roguelike shooter where survival depends on how you build, adapt, and uncover what lies beneath the surface.

You awaken to alarms. Your ship is going down.
What waits below is far worse.

Fight to Survive

Crash-land on a hostile world overrun with mutated creatures, ancient technology, and aggressive fungal lifeforms. Every run is a battle through unpredictable environments filled with danger, secrets, and escalating threats.

Build Your Weapon

Your gun is more than a tool—it’s a system.

  • Collect and attach mods that transform how your weapon behaves

  • Change projectile types, effects, and firing patterns

  • Experiment with order-based combinations that create entirely new outcomes

No two builds are the same. The right combination can mean the difference between survival and collapse.

Adapt Every Run

  • Discover items and upgrades to shape your strategy

  • Loot cargo pods and uncover hidden areas

  • Use resources to unlock new possibilities for future runs

Each attempt expands what you can become.

Face What’s Waiting

Battle a wide range of enemies—from massive mutated creatures to hostile machines and fungal horrors. Each region introduces new threats that demand new approaches.

Uncover the Truth

Something happened here. And something is still happening.

Scan your surroundings, piece together fragments of the past, and uncover the story hidden beneath the surface. The deeper you go, the more the world begins to reveal itself.

Descend Further

Procedurally generated levels ensure every run is different. New paths, new encounters, new opportunities—and new risks.

Push deeper. Learn more. Survive longer.

Escape… or Become Part of It

Recover the missing transmitter and call for rescue.

If you can make it that far.
