Grim Road is a roguelike with turn-based combat set in a hopeless dark world. The Sun has disappeared, and heroes have to travel through dying lands to slay Archdemons and get a chance for humanity to survive.
It's Gothic, it's Black&White, and has a lot of dithering.
It's all about managing squad members, spells pool, and energy levels.
Hunger is just one problem they have to deal with - as they have to make tough choices, their mental state and moral compass can be damaged or even broken. But as a guide with a purpose, you can use even this to your advantage, building a team of dark and corrupted half-humans.
Many mysterious inhabitants of the world can share stories or present... unique opportunities to your team.
Misery and failure awaits everyone who dares to walk the Grim Road. But also an eventual triumph and many new, different paths to take.
