About the Game

You’ve barely escaped the chaos that consumed your hometown overnight. The friendly residents of Grimshire, an isolated mountain village, offer you a new home. Restore the cozy old farmhouse, and tend the fields. But beware, a mysterious plague is coming. The community must work together if everyone is to survive.

Feed Them

  • Keep the root cellar stocked, balance the needs of both herbivores and carnivores.

  • Prevent food from rotting away by salting, pickling, drying, and smoking.

  • Cultivate a field of crops, and plant an orchard of fruit and nut trees.

  • Tame wild critters and raise them for a steady supply of eggs, milk, and meat.

  • Forage for seeds, flowers, herbs, nuts, roots and berries.

  • Go fishing in nearby marshes, rivers, and lakes.

Be a part of the Community

  • Gather materials and construct village projects to strengthen the community.

  • Donate specimens for research and discover new methods to increase the odds of survival.

  • Befriend the adorable villagers of Grimshire. But don't get too attached... It's possible that not everyone will survive.

Explore the World

  • Dive deep in the mines of Grimshire valley, and root out every vein of ore.

  • Experience beautiful shifting dynamic seasons and weather.

  • Decorate your home and farm with a variety of furniture, fences, pathing stones, and more!
