Grim Quest - Old School RPG

A classic turn-based RPG with dark aesthetics and a retro vibe, set in a mind-bending dark fantasy world with elements of Lovecraftian horror. A lot of emphasis is put on atmosphere and immersion, using hand-drawn artwork, somber musical score, and lots of written text. Reminiscent of tabletop DnD.
