In Grimmwood, you and up to 30 other players can join forces to defend your 16th century village (which, of course is located in a dark and mystical forest) against the merciless monster hordes who attack on a nightly basis. You'll have to use the daytime hours wisely and explore the forest, gather resources, find weapons, upgrade and repair your defenses and more as you keep an eye on the clock. In the meantime, you'll also have to keep everyone fed, watered and rested, as everything you do takes a toll on your stamina and sanity. Especially when night falls, and the freaks come out to play.

Every night, monsters swarm in and attack your village. If you haven't spent the daylight hours productively, you're going to realize it quickly once night falls. You've got to split up your tasks and work like a team towards a common goal, or you'll get shredded come nightfall, especially since the monsters get stronger with every wave. You can vote on every choice, or you can ignore everyone and do your own thing. The ability to log into the real life day/night cycle is an interesting twist, and it will also lead to some interesting cooperative moments; basically, everyone wants to go to the party, but no one wants to stick around and clean up, so voting on things like creating defenses verses actually defending on the village at night will have to be decided on.


It's an interesting system, and it looks like it should be a lot of fun if all the elements can come together smoothly. Check out the features and the trailer below, and you can jump onto the open beta here

Features:

  • Against all Odds: Survive by turning a bunch of strangers into a sworn fellowship.
  • Every Game is a new Journey: Huge, procedurally generated hex grid forest map to explore – 600 tiles in size!
  • Choose your Path wisely: Every action costs stamina points of which you have only a limited number each day. 
  • Continuous Asynchronous Multiplayer: Log in at any time during the real-time 24-hour day cycle to gear up with your fellow villagers and fortify the defenses or venture into the wild together.
  • Keep your Body and Soul in check: Sanity and condition systems which will directly and indirectly affect your efficiency and playstyle. 
  • Strong Emphasis on Social Interaction: In-game Chat and Forum, where all key decisions are put up for discussion.
  • Permadeath, Rogue-like Elements: Everything you bring with you to the next Village is your knowledge and your ingenuity. 
  • Play by the Rules - or Don’t: Vote to expel the Villagers who don't contribute to the Village survival or simply try to ruin everybody's experience.
