About this game

Set in a realm of eternal night, Grim Omens puts the player in the shoes of a fledgling vampire, a creature of blood and darkness struggling to maintain the grip on their fading humanity in a mysterious and hostile world.

The game combines classic dungeon crawling elements, familiar turn-based combat mechanics, and various tabletop and boardgame influences to create an immersive and accessible old-school RPG experience.

The 3rd entry in the Grim series, Grim Omens, is a standalone sequel to Grim Quest. It refines the established formula of Grim Quest and Grim Tides, all the while offering an intricate story and detailed lore that ties in with previous games in strange and unexpected ways.

Inspired by ttRPG classics such as Vampire (The Masquerade, The Dark Ages, Bloodlines) and Dungeons and Dragons' Ravenloft (Curse of Strahd).

Ratings and reviews

Took a bit of getting used to, as I never played the previous games or anything like them before. Now that I'm several hours in, I can say it's pretty dang fun, challenging at times, relatively easy at others. The perks and itemization can allow for numerous builds, though I've only really played an AoE Mage at this point. Resource management is simple to pick up with a higher ceiling available if you care to aim for it. Looking forward to bearing it and trying out the other games in the series!

It's a great game with a great story. Some aspects can be streamlined like the Alchemy Workshop. Because there are so many variations, I'd love to see it made a bit simpler by just highlighting what items I have & what I can make when I use the crafting menu. In battle, I'm also not really sure how different potions/items affect different creatures before I use them, I just kinda hope for the best. I'm sure future updates will make this game even better.

I played and really enjoyed the first 2 games from Monomyth so I was super excited to see a third one come out!! And it's vampires!! Once again, Monomyth does not disappoint!! The only ad is if you want to collect gold after a dungeon level. Otherwise it's a wonderful RPG which feels like old school D&D, thoroughly enjoying it!! Can't wait to see more from Monomyth!!
