Grimslair is a dark fantasy roguelite deckbuilder where every run is a race against Grim’s soul quota. Build brutal card combos, rip Soulwords from the living and the dead, break Grim’s deadly chain attacks, and rewind time when your run collapses. Rip Soulwords from humans, animals, and the undead. Fuse them into your battle cards to change how they work, stack brutal effects, and build wild combos. As your cards level up, your deck becomes stranger, stronger, and deadlier with every loop. Use blank Tabula Rasa cards to create custom battle cards that are uniquely yours. Most enemy cards have Chain Connectors on both sides. Grim’s five-card deal can create deadly combos, letting him play multiple cards in one turn. Break his chains, interrupt his assault, and survive long enough to strike back. Every day is a race against Grim’s Soul Quota . Track enemies through graveyards, forests, caves, deserts, and snowy mountains, then choose which battles are worth the risk before the clock runs out and the loop starts over. You do not survive Grimslair alone. Your husky fights beside you in exploration and combat, using its own cards, abilities, and ways to grow stronger. Level up your dog, pet your dog , and turn loyal companionship into a deadly advantage. Meet strange vendors selling powerful cards, upgrades, and deck-changing effects. Buy what you need, or kill them and steal everything they carry . But every choice leaves a lasting consequence... When a run ends, the clock drags you back to the Chamber of Time . New perks, battle cards, enemies, and Soulwords reshape each loop, forcing you to adapt, experiment, and push deeper into Grim’s world. Every card, character, and piece of game art was hand-painted by the solo developer over nearly 6 years. Content notice: dark fantasy violence, blood/gore, death, grief, and mild horror.
