This might not be news if you’ve been watching IGN’s Awesome Indies event during Gamescom, but Akupara Games will be publishing Clover Bite’s highly anticipated title, GRIME. GRIME will launch sometime in 2021!

Destroy... Absorb... Grow... GRIME is a fast and unforgiving Action-Adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains with a black hole to strengthen your vessel as you break apart a world of anatomical horror and intrigue.

An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence. What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once were.

GRIME lets you play to your preference, upgrading only those traits you feel most suited to your unique style. You’ll find there is more than one way to break open an enemy as you move through a variety of evocative environments, meet their inhabitants, and discover the source of their madness.

Feature List

• Eye-Popping Surrealism - Explore weeping caves, face-covered deserts, and distinct civilizations all rendered in unearthly 3D. Face foes born from the world itself, and swallow them whole.

• Living Weapons - Seamlessly swap weapons made of living creatures that mutate form during combat, from clawing swords to centipede whips.

• Death-Defying Combat - Punish enemies by parrying their attacks, smash them from the ground or even airborne, and absorb them to grow your strength as you wage war on a living world.

• Unique Skill Progression - Consume bosses to gain game-changing abilities. Hunt down and absorb challenging monsters to progress through your skills and bring true customization to your play style.

Explore an Abnormal World - Uncover mysterious secrets, meet otherworldly characters, and discover unique items - all in a breathtakingly organic, interconnected world.
