10 itemsAbout the Game
Grimdelve is a role playing game where the last of humanity dwells underground beneath a medieval Slovenia. Guide two souls through the horrors of a dying world and decide who they become. Sneak past strangers, try to understand them, or tear them apart. Become charming manipulators, mysterious weirdos, or complete disasters. Perhaps they can save what little remains of humankind. Or, they might be its final mistake, but that's up to you...
Oppressive atmosphere and Lovecraftian horror
A living world and characters that react to your choices
Exploration built around unique, story-driven minigames
A tense, punishing stealth system
A setting unlike anything else in the genre
CRAFT THEIR PERSONALITIES:
Mix and match eight traits to forge two wildly different souls in every playthrough. Become a charming manipulator, a mysterious weirdo, or a complete disaster. Grimdelve lets you roleplay any kind of person you can imagine. In one life, you might push boulders to solve problems. In another, smash straight through them. Every trait changes dialogue, choices, and how the world reacts to you. Some combine in ways you won’t expect, and others can create a confusingly contradictory person.
EXPLORE THE CAVERNS:
Beneath Slovenia lies a labyrinth of karst caverns. Vast yet suffocating, and crawling with merciless survivors. Humanity claws at existence in an underground world never meant for them. Scavenge what little wealth the dark still offers, or miss a single jump and meet a stalagmite head-on. Mistakes are permanent, though death isn’t always the worst outcome.
A WORLD FULL OF REAL PEOPLE:
Everyone faces the end of the world differently. Some cling to family, others to power, and a few simply to bloodlust. It’s up to you to decide who to trust, who to betray, and whether your characters will sneak past their enemies, befriend them, or beat them to a pulp.
