About the Game
Welcome to Grimshore. Please mind the smell. You opened your very own hot dog shop, and the customers keep coming. There's just one small business problem: demand is high, and meat runs out fast. Luckily, the foggy little town of Grimshore has no shortage of raw material, if you're not too fussy about where it comes from. Meat Grinder is a first-person simulation with a rotten heart. Run an honest hot dog stand by day, take care of your supply chain by night, and try not to think too hard about the difference.
Run the shop
Grill the sausages, slice the buns, fry the potatoes, squirt the sauce, wrap it up, and hand it over with a smile. Keep customers happy, keep the money coming, and reinvest in your growing fast food empire. It's a cozy little cooking routine, right up until you run out of stock.
Solve your supply problem
When the freezer runs dry, the beef carcasses can only cover so much. Grimshore's graveyard is quiet, the tools are cheap, and the meat grinder doesn't ask questions. Head out after dark, source some fresh ingredients, and get them back to the shop before opening time.
Uncover the town's secrets
Behind the fog and the frying oil, Grimshore has stories it would rather keep buried. Take on side quests, meet the locals, follow the threads, and dig into your own character's past, whether or not you like what you find down there.
Cooked in glorious low-poly
Lo-fi retro visuals, chunky textures, and a grimy nostalgic atmosphere give the whole town that unsettling old-school horror feel. Comfort food has never looked so uncomfortable.

Game Update | 1.0.2
Hello everyone! A new update just went out. The biggest change: you now open the shop yourself in the mornings. Customers won't show up until you're ready, so you finally have time to prepare before the rush. Keep in mind that once the shop is open, it stays open until the day ends. ChangelogChangedYou now open the shop yourself in the mornings. Customers will no longer arrive until you want them to, giving you time to prepare. The shop can no longer be closed during the day and will automatically close at the end of the day.Poop now leaves a decal when it hits the ground or gets thrown somewhere. It disappears after a while.Throwing poop at someone now makes them angry. Special sauce ingredients such as blood bags and mushrooms can now be thrown into the trash.FixedFixed the "Path to the Grave" achievement.Fixed boxes not being placed on the shelf in the back room unless they were thrown. You can now place them directly.What's nextWe're also putting together a Roadmap and getting ready to start work on content updates. We're still discussing exactly what we'll tackle first, but we wanted to let you know in advance that it's coming. We'll share the details as soon as they're locked in.

Game Update | 1.0.1
First patch since launch, and most of it comes straight from what you have been posting in the reviews and Discussions over the last few days. Thank you for that, genuinely. It made this list very easy to write. The One You All Asked ForYou asked. In at least four languages. Sometimes with photos. The thing that spawns in the toilet can now go in a hot dog. We are not going to explain ourselves further. Serve responsibly. ːlunar2019laughingpigːNewAdded a trash bag item to the store. You can now collect trash instead of carrying every single piece to the bin by hand. This was easily the most repeated piece of feedback we got, and it was a fair one. FixedFixed the shovel falling through the ground at the graveyard. Honest answer: Unity physics have been fighting us on this project. Rather than pretend we have fully tamed it, we now catch the shovel if it goes under the world and respawn it above ground. If you still manage to lose one, tell us how.Fixed the achievement related to spoiled food. It should now unlock properly when you serve what you are absolutely not supposed to serve. Thank YouWe are still reading everything: reviews, threads, bug reports, in every language they arrive in. Other topics keep coming up too: the story and its length, the nights at the graveyard, what there is to do after the credits. Those have been noticed rather than quietly scrolled past. We are not going to promise specific features or dates. We would rather talk about things once they are actually in the game. This patch is what was ready first. If something breaks, post it in the Discussions and tell us what you were doing when it happened. That is faster for us than guessing, and this update is proof it works. Update the game, grab a trash bag, and check the toilet.Read full article on Community Announcements (Raintek)AnnouncementsOfficial
