About the Story

As a grue, it's your duty to keep the underground kingdom safe from vandalism by sorcerers, swordspeople, and other ugly monsters who keep invading the dungeon in hopes of stealing a sackful of your friends' favourite possessions. Invariably they just get lost, and it's your job to find them, then do your best to guide them safely back to the surface. (What else would you do, eat them?) Made for Parsercomp, Gruesome is a revisit to classic dungeon crawl text adventures from a new perspective. How many adventurers can you save?

Mike Spivey
"Overall, Gruesome hit a sweet spot for me of not-too-hard and not-too-easy puzzles plus a solid dose of nostalgia made fresh by the PC-as-grue inversion and some gentle parodic elements."
