About the Game


Unleash your inner ass-kicking menace in this unique “First-Person Booter”. Step into the boot of Glum, the crude, short-tempered goblin, and kick, cuss and fight your way through a vibrant and physics-based world that - unlike your average Sunday morning cartoon - is not suited for sticky children.

GLUM is a game where one man’s tragedy is another man’s comedy.

Kick-ass Physics Combat

Our physics-based combat system ensures that every enemy you take down reacts dynamically, meaning glorious, over-the-top ragdoll chaos. Smash, launch, and obliterate foes in ways that are as satisfying as they are hilarious.

Menace Style System and ARENA MODE

Earn style points for creative kills! Whether you’re flinging explosive barrels and magical potions at your enemies, or getting up close and personal, the menace actions and points amplifies flair for destruction and creative sadism! Hone your skills in the wave-based combat Arena Mode! 

Wacky Exploration & Collectables

GLUM’s crude humor is scattered around the environments of the game, making those hidden spots and cheeky collectables worth every moment of exploring.

All you need to know is that there has been a coup and Glum’s overlord, Semperius, has been mysteriously captured by rivaling overlords. Although Glum has lived his sorry excuse of a life being the underling of one particularly mean Overlord, the Overlord’s kidnapping forces Glum to dust off an old magical boot and unleash his main character energy in his search for vengeance (and the return of a stable income).
