With love from the team:

𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔*!!!* We're absolutely buzzing to share our wild ride at the amazing Ludum Dare 55 game jam! It was an epic chance to check out some stellar games and toss our own hat into the ring. We whipped up a simple prototype and didn’t quite hit all our lofty goals, but hey, we’re seriously stoked about the cool concept we started with and can't wait to dive deeper into its development.

Our little brainchild, "Grimoire", takes a crack at the theme "Summoning", mixing up ꂵꌦꇙ꓄꒐ꉔꋬ꒒ vibes with some fresh mechanics. Picture a world where RTS meets Roguelike, sounds awesome, right? Well, pump the brakes because we’re not quite there yet. But someday? You bet! We know our game’s mechanics are still baby steps, but the promise they hold? Absolutely thrilling.

Right now, "Grimoire" is just a baby prototype, but it’s the seed we’re nurturing into something grand. We’re all in to level up its gameplay, pile on the features, and polish up the experience to truly unlock what it can become.

We can’t wait to transform "Grimoire" into something super magical, and we hope you’re as excited to delve into its secrets as we are in crafting them. Your support and insights mean the world to us, and a massive thank you to everyone playing and reviewing our game.

Join us on this magical quest to unfold the limitless potential of "Grimoire"!

GRIMOIRE beckons those daring to harness its ancient magic, blending RTS and Roguelike elements where destiny unfolds with each encounter. This tome of power, destined for the hands of the brave or foolish, awaits a true master to unlock its secrets.

As an aspiring mage, you find this relic and discover its ability to breathe life into beings. In moments of reprieve, known as the Calm, you must quickly inscribe arcane words to summon soldiers, conjure mana, and fortify your forces.

But you are not alone in your quest. Rival mages, driven by ambition, challenge you, sparking the Clash where your strategic decisions meet magical confrontations. Your summoned minions march autonomously towards enemy thrones, their traits as varied as the stars.

Your goal is to prove your worth through battle, establishing yourself as the rightful bearer of the Grimoire. Failure means passing the mantle to another, potentially relegating you to a mere footnote in the saga of the true Chosen.

This game of power and deception questions if defeat signifies you were not meant to be the Chosen. The saga of the Grimoire continues, its pages still open for those brave enough to write their destiny. Will you be the master, or fade into obscurity?

Will you prove to be the true Chosen, or will the Grimoire find it's way to another?
