About the Game

Grid Grief is a roguelite pin(deck)builder where you navigate a haunting afterlife by strategically placing pins on an ever evolving grid. Every placement is a gamble between progression and permanent loss, forcing you to weigh immediate rewards against long-term survival.

As your run goes on, you will uncover unique pins, perks and secrets that trigger explosive combos. By collecting and placing pins, you can create game-breaking synergies that snowball a standard run into a dazzling, rule-bending escape attempt.

At its heart, Grid Grief is a dark tale of calculation and escape, where strategic placement determines whether you transcend to glory or remain lost in grief.

Your only hope is to build a grid capable of shattering a god.
