The game requires both a keyboard for movement and a mouse for aiming, instead of simply aiming in the direction you face. As a result, Steam's built-in gamepad support is rendered useless: moving with the left stick while aiming with the right stick is just a pain in top down view.
Interesting game, very indie but unique. Very short.
Pretty good game and art style.

A promising, proof-of-concept that really has its own personality and artsyle. Was worth the time going through and finding all the notes and souvenirs, and i would play a full version with more polish and content. 6/10
This game was an excellent experience. The art direction and environmental design were very impressive. The style for the cutscenes was also really great, though the voice acting could've used some work. I did not have much drive to listen to the cutscenes in full or read the lore. It might have also been because i was listening to jazz. I'm sure the music is wonderful. I enjoyed the limited but necessary enemy variety and the enemies were fun to fight and kill.
id really like to see the full version
Quite short, and the combat lacks depth, but for the short hour or so that it's there, its good enough. Despite the iffy voice acting and a few other janky aspects like the audio panning and mixing, it clearly has a lot of passion put into it, with all the cutscenes, item descriptions, and characters. I love the story and aesthetic, and would love to see where this goes next.
"Grimstone Valley" is possibly a student project or something? Like so many student projects, it's short, more a tech demo than a full game, features a basic gameplay format/genre but also includes a "twist" in the game mechanics (to make students think). This is a very short 2.5D top down brawler. The theme: Wild West meets the exhumed corpse of HP Lovecraft. You're a farmer, you get kidnapped, you wake up with a tentacle arm. What do you do in the game? The crux of the game is using your tentacle arm to grab objects and smash them into the baddies. That's it. And it's short... you could speedrun this in less than 10 minutes. That's the main reason this doesn't get a pass... no matter how visually impressive or well polished a game is, if it doesn't have any substance, it's hard for me to say it's worth downloading. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. Top down brawling is a dying genre as 3D graphics continue to make it possible for far more immersive gaming. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, to any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or something you might want to spend your time on. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 3 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? What's the verdict? While many elements of this push the game towards being recommendable, it's just too short and too much like a tech demo for me to tell gamers that there's real value here.
such a kewl game! SO loveable characters >w< Also overseer is my fave
The 2d art on cut scene could've been better since the 3d render is fantastic. Also I do believe the voice acting can be improve or hire a better one. Other than that this is great prologue for action adventure game.
