WHAT IS THIS GAME?
Grimdelve is a role playing game set entirely underground. It is a desperate and decaying world where the traits you choose change who you become and how people respond to you. Sneak past strangers, try to understand them, or tear them apart. Shape a princess and a poor peasant into charming manipulators, noble heroes, or complete disasters.
Created by an RPG Maker YouTuber with a 35k following and a deep appreciation for the magic this niche game engine can create.

Grimdelve is a dual narrative where you swap between the perspectives of Jaro, a Slavic peasent, whose lived underground his whole life, believing the world above had already ended, and Gisela, a Frankish princess, escaped to the underground just as the world ended for real.As the outsiders move in following the true end of the world, conflicts arise. You must choose your personality traits, solve puzzles, sneak, lie, steal, anything in order to survive. As rivalries form, your choices will decide if the last remnants of humanity perish or flourish underground.
