Grimvale I

A family secret

Grimvale I is a first-person psychological horror game about Aral, a sixteen-year-old whose family is pulled apart in a single day. He wakes to an empty house, learns his father has been arrested on a murder charge, and finds that his older sister has left while his mother refuses to explain what’s happening. Then notes appear on his desk, supposedly from his sister, summoning him to an abandoned construction site where she’s trapped.

The game is the first in a four-part series about a debt from a deal made years ago. Its consequences fall on people who never agreed to take it on, including members of the same family across generations.
