Grimhook

About this game

Embark on a harrowing journey beneath the ruins of the once-vibrant city of Miletos.

Grimhook, a fast-paced, first-person action-adventure game, thrusts you into the heart of a flooded wasteland where robotic minions reign supreme and an ancient deity lies dormant beneath the city's surface. As Dart, you'll harness powerful abilities to navigate through cavernous depths; grapple, bounce, dash, and slash your way through relentless automata in intense combat arenas while you experience a grim world and a somber narrative.

Game Features:

• Fast-paced First-Person Platforming: Unleash a myriad of Lovecraftian abilities as you navigate the caverns of Miletos. Time and combine your powers to swiftly traverse the game's terrain and outmaneuver your enemies.
  
• Tightly Tuned Combat: Engage in intense battles in multiple combat arenas, utilizing your powers to dodge bullets and decimate robotic foes. Watch as fully destructible adversaries explode, leaving a chaotic aftermath on the battlefield.
  
• Explore a Cavernous World: Traverse dilapidated skyscrapers, rushing rapids, and forgotten excavations in a sprawling subterranean world. Encounter diverse biomes that add depth and variety to your adventure.
  
• Hand-Painted Art Style: Immerse yourself in a somber environment brought to life by a carefully hand-painted art style, capturing the melancholic beauty of a city on the brink of ruin.
  
• Immersive Audio Experience: Immerse yourself in the tragic journey with over 10 electronic tracks in the musical score, composed by BelowCloudNine.
  
• Voiced Characters: Two fully voiced characters bring intimacy to the narrative and characterize the unlikely camaraderie between Dart and the dormant deity beneath the city.
  
• Dynamic Animations and Cutscenes: Dynamic first-person animations strike a vivid contrast with the desaturated world. Multiple fully authored first-person cutscenes enhance the immersive storytelling experience.

  Lovely free Lovecraftian first-person parkourer Grimhook to become a "complete" game

  "It almost feels like proof-of-concept for a first-person Prince of Persia game, with an ever-so-gentle dusting of Portal," our Edwin said after playing free first-person platformer Grimhook when it launched in December. It's a cracking little game, parkouring about with the help of supernatural powers and a grappling hook, but ends right as it feels like it's getting started. I'd certainly be up for three hours of this, so how splendid to hear that the developers are planning to make a "complete" and fancier experience. Read more
