About
A grim world will be generated...
Explore everything from bare deserts...
... to snow covered mountains.
Recruit blacksmiths, brutal pirates, noble intellectuals and everything inbetween.
They will all struggle to survive in a world overrun by the undead...
... and you will be their guide!
A game inspired by Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress and Terraria:
All humans have unique portraits, different backgrounds and come from distinct cultures. They will develop and age as the seasons change and the years pass.
They all have different skills and abilities; some will become expert miners, great counsellors, and others master blacksmiths.
Manage their needs, set their priorities and equip them for war or work. They will eat, sleep, socialize, create art, fight and abandon your faction if pushed too hard. They might return later, but as a friendly visitor or leading an attack?
Defend your settlement from hordes of undead, bandits, large raiding parties and necromancers.
Mine for riches deep below the surface, discover ancient shrines and powerful magic.
Start practicing necromancy, raise the dead and have them work for you - see if you can defend your faction from paladins instead! Or maybe harness the powers of light and try to banish the undead for good!
Craft a huge variety of weapons, armor and clothes from all kinds of materials.
Plant crops and later harvest to create food and medicine.
Hunt animals, or tame them to produce milk and fur.
Grow your knowledge by plenty of research options. All the way from longbows to muskets and grenades.
Trade with visiting merchants, convince them to join your settlement or plunder them if you wish!
Create caravans, travel the world by land or sea; discover new locations and establish new settlements.
PS: This game is in the same franchise as Grim Nights. However, this game will focus less on tower defense and much more on your villagers and the management of your growing settlement.
(Also: This game was previously called 'Grim Nights 2'. Long story short: the name was changed because it is too different to easily be considered a sequel.)

Game seems abandoned, frustrating problems not being addressed for example you cannot restart a map...if you have a bad run you must re-generate a world and a starting colony from scratch every single time.
This colony sim has been referred to as "Craft the Worlds dark cousin", and that is an agreeable claim. Grim Realms is in the same sub-genre of colony games that focus on surviving. Starting with a small group that builds shelter, food, and basic living to first survive, then eventually attempt to prosper, explore and grow. This is usually all taking place during some cataclysm or other nasty event. The big difference I see in this game compared to its kin is a hard focus on realism and the despairing nature of the situation these games present. A perfect example that illustrates this best is in the previous mentioned title. That games atmosphere is very upbeat, cheery, supplemented with lots of humour and cutesy graphics that any Disney fan would find delightful. The enemies die in a puff of smoke and look comical. In Grim Realms food just doesn't drop from trees that grow and mature every day outside your fort. Deforestation is real. Enemies are not cute, they are frightening. After a horde assault has been repelled, your people will spend the rest of the day disposing all of the corpses. Festering corpses are not to be ignored, as you would expect. Thats actually a good way to summarise the game, and should give an idea of what to expect. Personally I like the darker aspects of Grim Realms and its what I expect from this genre. I get thats not everyones cup of tea, and most would probably prefer a Ryan Reynolds version of the Apocalypse rather than Clive Barkers, but it is what it is. Survival of the dark.

Give this game a chance. Grim realms is a gem. Start by auto generating a world, taking a look at it, picking a place/biom to start the game on the world map, can even hand create the cultures for your run and your faction members. Start in the world as a lone veteran(my fav) or a group of 4. Build your kingdom. The larger it gets, the more people that come, the larger groups of undead and bandits youll get the attention of. This game feels like nostalgia but with modern additions to systems. if this game came out back in the day it would have been legend. so, play it and find out that it still is. truly worth checking out, made by a single dev who is an awesome guy and givers personal feedback. Dont have to build a kingdom though, wander the lancs from settlement to settlement, either peacful villages, taders,, light zealots, undead or necromances , Wander the land taking what you can to survive, build a boat, voyage to a diffferent continent. This game is great. Highly recomened.
Great game, full of fun surprises. I was a fan of this cats first game "grim nights," This one is a step up. I look forward to playing whatever he makes next. Also, weird to give someone a down vote becuase theres no cloud save. Dudes an indy developer -- dont be a jerk.
Good game! Fun colony management sim. Expect to save-scum a lot if you don't want to lose your world. I have 35 hours and I am at a decent point (early end-game?) but there is still tonnes to do. I haven't even explored another settlement or gone on a caravan trip yet.

It's a fun, difficult, and unique game. Pros: Provides a unique experience, which is exciting and new. Definitely gives you your money's worth, and then some. Different play-styles (hide away, explore, or fafo) are rewarded and punished in ways that make sense. Tool-tips help you navigate the otherwise steep learning curve. Cons: Provides a unique experience, which can be confusing at times (how do I fish? lol). Steep learning curve, though aided by tool-tips, might hamper your ability to enjoy yourself. Aren't many settings with which to moderate the difficulty of the game. Game difficulty (i.e. how strong monsters are) seems to be dependent upon how much you've built rather than how many people you have.
Needs more love from players. criminally under rated and i hope we see more DLC and also free updates.
WE HAVE UI SCALING
Took a minute to get into, but now I'm playing as often as possible. Love this game!
