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.
