The title I’m introducing now debuted just a few days ago with a teaser trailer and several images, showcasing a striking visual style that immediately brought Darkest Dungeon to mind. It’s called GrimKeep, a new project developed by Resolution Games, a two-person team made up of Henrik Pettersson and David Filipe, who many of you know for the dungeon crawler Demeo.
GrimKeep is a roguelite that blends dice-building mechanics with turn-based combat, all wrapped in a haunting fairy tale aesthetic. Set in a cursed city where corrupted fables and Lovecraftian nightmares run rampant, players scavenge for powerful relics, unlock new heroes, and push their luck against an ever-escalating tide of horror.
You’ll collect dice-enhancing relics and build synergies that transform simple rolls into devastating combos. The deeper you venture, the weirder and more lethal the enemies become. Unlike many roguelites, GrimKeep emphasizes both progression and improvisation. Players unlock new characters with unique dice and abilities, discover rare gear that reshapes their strategy mid-run, and face branching choices that decide how the story—and their fate—unfolds. The ultimate goal: reach the heart of the GrimKeep and confront the dark force behind it all—the corrupted Princess who now rules from the castle.
Resolution Games is pivoting toward a stylish indie fantasy here, promising deep replayability. While no release date has been set, I think it’s a title worth following. Below is an overview via Steam, screens and teaser trailer.
