The creators of Demeo have unveiled GrimKeep, an intriguing blend of dark fantasy and dice-building set within a roguelike structure. This captivating title is slated for launch on PlayStation 5, Steam for PC, and additional platforms yet to be disclosed in the run-up to its 2025 release.

Here is an overview of the game, via Resolution Games:

About

Stepping into a realm where enchantments morph into horrors, I find myself immersed in the captivating world of GrimKeep – a roguelike dice-building game that pushes me to conquer not just chance but also my strategic prowess.

Gather potent artifacts, create formidable alliances, and fight your way through a city shrouded in darkness.

Happily Ever After Never Lasts

The city has fallen into ruin, and from its heart, a malevolent force emanates, transforming its inhabitants into pitiful imitations of life. Empty, haunted streets teem with monstrous beings, while the sky above remains perpetually overcast, threatening to blanket the entire land in darkness.

Be the hero, reach the GrimKeep and end the source of evil; the Princess.

Dice and Strategy

In a dark fantasy realm blending elements from classic fairy tales and Lovecraftian terrors, the game GrimKeep presents an intriguing blend of strategy and dice mechanics. Each round, you amass potent artifacts to construct destructive combinations that can change the course of combat.

With multiple tries, you’ll discover new characters, equipment, and interactions that can enhance your gameplay, improve your tactics, and elevate the intensity.

Your choices. Your fate. Your GrimKeep.

According to Resolution Games studio art director Henrik Pettersson in a statement, “GrimKeep” is not a place for cheerfulness. The world portrayed is severe and unmerciful. Although the core of the game revolves around turn-based logic and chance, Henrik aimed to establish it within an authentic fantasy setting that has a rich history, internal reasoning, and uniformity. While you’re engaging in dice rolls and gathering items, the visuals are intricately hand-drawn and could fit well within a visual novel or role-playing game as well.

In his statement, Resolution Games CEO Tommy Palm expressed, “Innovation is at the heart of our operations here at Resolution Games, and we take great pride in our contributions to immersive gaming. However, there’s a lot of fun to be found beyond headsets as well. When Henrik and David presented the initial prototype of GrimKeep, I was instantly captivated and couldn’t stop playing it. Great games deserve a global audience – whether they are breaking new ground in gameplay, like our latest release Spatial Ops, or adding fresh perspectives to familiar genres, such as roguelike deck builders.
