You’re a brand new reaper, but your brother is nowhere to be found. Guess you’d better get used to your new gig while trying to figure out where your sibling went.
Lavender really wasn’t expecting to wake up to a bunch of skull-faced folks in black cloaks, let alone ones holding bright balloons to celebrate their new employment, but here we are. While this is a lot to take in on its own, Grimm’s Hollow still has more complications to throw your way. Your brother’s missing in the underworld, and no one seems to know where to look for him. So, now you need to reap souls AND find a lost kid.
The reaping part is challenging, but at least you’ve got some useful tools to help you out. Your scythe is an excellent tool for cutting down phantoms, but it’ll require timing to swing right. You can also unlock a bunch of skills and abilities through a skill tree, adding more timing-based attacks and status ailments to your arsenal. The ghosts you;re fighting have a bunch of abilities of their own, though, so expect them to fight back. These ghost just aren’t keen on your new job, honestly.
Grimm’s Hollow is a concise RPG experience that aims to minimize grinding and maximize your time spent with cute characters and lovable companions. Plus it’s full of ghostly snacks and some neat haunted caves. Really can’t go wrong with making the best of a short time with this one (and it’s free).
Grimm’s Hollow is available now on itch.io and Steam.
