Grim Quest is a classic RPG with dark aesthetics and a retro vibe, set in a gritty dark fantasy world with elements of Lovecraftian horror. It puts a lot of emphasis on atmosphere and immersion, using hand-drawn artwork, somber musical score, and lots of intricate lore. The game tries to blend tabletop adventure vibes, familiar dungeon crawling and roguelike mechanics, and a classic turn-based combat system into an accessible and entertaining package. Because of its attention to written storytelling, abundance of lore, and detailed worldbuilding, Grim Quest can be similar to a single player Dungeons and Dragons campaign, or even a choose your own adventure book.
