Grim Quest

Grim Quest combines dungeon crawling, turn-based combat and roguelike mechanics with text-based storytelling. In the dark fantasy world of Ashborne, you play as a hired mercenary and shape both your own fate and that of an ancient city on the brink of destruction and madness.

Ashborne and the Dark

Explore the ruins of a fallen civilization and uncover the secrets of the Dark, a mysterious force that ended an era of prosperity. The city faces eldritch horrors shaped by the subconscious thoughts of its inhabitants, while human failings weaken it from within. You also delve into your own mind to confront inner demons.

Combat and character

Fight unique enemies and bosses in a turn-based combat system. Manage your character’s sanity, since it can lead to unexpected consequences, and customize them through a classless system with more than 50 skills and spells. Choose from 27 character backgrounds, each of which affects gameplay differently.

Events and city defence

Text-based interactive events reveal more of the game world. You also manage the defences of besieged Ashborne and endure raids and other calamities.

Difficulty and pace

Choose from four difficulty levels, enable optional permadeath and adjust other settings to tailor the experience. A dungeon run can take a few minutes, or you can play for hours at a time.
