It had good potential but seems to have been abandoned since.
It hasn't been updated for about 3 years (as of now)
Mechanic wise it was a good concept where what you ate helped you to survive and adapt better in the enviroment.
However there's not much to do or to see in the game and there's not much to figure out as there's very few enemies and adaptations to try.
I still have hope that it'll be updated in the future, but as it stands. Either wait for it to go on sale or to be gifted to you (most likely by someone who doesn't like you cause of how under-developed the game is.) but don't waste your money paying full price for it right now.

Game still very much EA. There are lots of concepts which are not fleshed out and the game is clearly not finished. Additionally, the game has not been updated in over 9 months. To further issues the developer has not been around for the same period.
Honestly, it feels as if this game has been abandoned. As such I cannot recommend this game/developer.

I started off as Big-Booty-Judy, enjoyed Judy's booty. Gathered some supplies, made a fire, and hunted animals etc...
Then I started experimenting with the shrooms/weeds. I grew horns, slung webs, shot a laser with my eyes, and swam like a fish.
Got overzealous and took too many shrooms. Started having psychedelic vision changes. Enjoyed Judy's Booty in psychedelic colors.
If this game had more variety/less bugs it could be a 10/10. As is - in early alpha stages - it's a 7/ or 8/10.

Brimming with untapped potential based on concept alone, but *so* not ready for Early Access, much less for a price. Worth keeping an eye on, but not to buy. Not quite yet.

An incredible interesting idea though still in very very early creation. it also seems highly in need of description for almost everything ingame. If your interested in this title id suggest keeping it on watch, it is still too early for a purchasable game. even on sale the price tag just does not justify payment for such an early access program. I had trouble even playing it for the first week after i had purchased it, then miraculously it started working. Id like to see this one developed further though i think i may wait awhile before i try playing it again. Extremely rough around the edges with an amazing amount of potential. id love to recommend this game, though at its current state of developement i cannot recommend it.

This game was abandoned two years ago, despite the fact that it hasnt aged well with its following of players being mostly dissapointed by the updates coming to a screeching halt, however this may be heavily opinionated, I certainly believe this game had great potential, but even in its current state, with the multiplayer being a tad buggy and the like, it is still an excellent game, there is no other survival game on the market that uses this formula of mutating your body to adapt and survive, that said it would be an excellent, EXCELLENT surprise to hear this game being picked up by another developer, those on steam who are willing to take up this challenge, I salute you.

I do not recommend this game, it has gone silent and no new updates for a long time.
There is nothing to really do in this game other then to cook meat, and try a couple different evolutions based on what mutations you get by interacting with the world.Should offer about a hour of entertainment but thats about it.Keep an eye on the forum if you are still interested but do not buy into this game until a developer can show signs of still being alive and working on this game.

It's an alright concept, but it still needs a lot of development to really warrent a purchase. As of right now (August 9th, 2016) the last update was almost 8 months ago (December 18th, 2015.) I'm unsure if the dev is really busy with developing this game, or has disappeared. Their last post ever on the steam forums was January 14th. Will be a good game if it's ever completed, but right now everything looks a little shakey with no Dev presence anywhere (Even their twitter, website, and facebook have been neglected and untouched since December/January.) So to avoid any heart ache and rage, avoid the game for now. (I'll definitly change my review after I find some trace of recent dev activity.)
edit: Okay, new edit. They're dead, Jim. Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/immersivedouro/ ) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/immersivedouro ) haven't been updated in almost a year, "Official Forums" ( http://projectshrooms.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=ff06827f53b28783ff3c8d0570ee0e46 ) is so choked out with bot spam that there isnt even a point in opening any topic. The developer who initially posted Shrooms on Reddit has been innactive for 7 months (1 year if you only count information pertaining to Shrooms), and their main business page ( http://immersivedouro.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi ) appears to have been repossessed by the web host (HostGator.) The three devs I know about have been either innactive or just playing games on Steam, most likely with the money gained from Shrooms. I had hopes that the developers would suddenly return and prove me wrong, but it sucks to be proven right.
Update from the Devs themselves! Apparently they had been fired and their employer chose to leave this game up on Steam while (possibly) hiring new devs who may or may not continue work on this game. I have a feeling this was the last nail in the coffin. Game is dead. Never forgetti rest in spaghetti.
