GRIM, a Martian VR multiplayer survival sandbox drawing inspiration from Rust, is launching into early entry alpha status this week on Quest and Steam.
The team behind GRIM, comprising Spoonfed Interactive and Fight Waffle Studios (creators of Ghosts of Tabor and Silent North), ensures a focus on realism infused with a science fiction edge. In the aftermath of a catastrophic failure to colonize Mars, humanity is on the brink of extinction as a once-thriving settlement lies in ruin. You find yourself at the forefront of the struggle for survival, navigating treacherous landscapes and hostile factions in a desperate bid to stay alive. As you face off against rival survivors in intense PvP combat, you must also confront the relentless dangers of the Martian environment, from toxic storms to treacherous terrain. Will you emerge victorious, or succumb to the unforgiving harshness of this unforgiven world? This is the prolonged trailer.
As you stir to life on the barren, ravaged Martian terrain, the stark reality sets in: surviving on a world stripped bare of its natural resources becomes your sole focus, as you navigate the unforgiving environment and compete against other desperate players for a chance to thrive. On Mars, the once-thriving settlements are now beset by a precarious situation as resources dwindle, making survival on the unforgiving pink planet a daunting task that requires navigating treacherous climate conditions and other hazards to stay alive? While sustaining a restricted oxygen supply, closely monitor starvation and hydration levels.
As the last remnants of civilization fade away, you’ll be forced to scour abandoned outposts for sustenance, hydration, weaponry, and vital supplies, while simultaneously building and bolstering your sanctuary from scratch. Can you strategically form partnerships with other survivors to further your chances of survival in this action-packed game?
GRIM’s Early Entry Alpha drops onto Steam and Meta Quest on January 16 for a mere $20. While the exact release date remains uncertain, a PlayStation VR2 model has already been officially announced.
