GRIME - Consume Creatures and Grow as a Living Statue in a Dark World
49Demo playthrough of GRIME, where you appear to be a living statue with a black hole for a head and you kill and consume other misshapen creatures to grow stronger. To what end is unclear but that's usually how it goes in dark, surreal worlds filled with deformed enemies.
The game particularly centers around parrying attacks with your absorb ability, allowing you to block attacks and inflict notable damage or penalties to enemies. For instance, in this demo you can outright kill most enemies with a single parry and can temporarily break off the bosses' arms with a successful parry. It's quite fun once you get the hang of it and the window seems a bit more lenient than it would seem (at least it felt similar to parrying in Blasphemous, other than that it looks like everything except red attacks can be parried). Leveling up in the demo didn't seem to provide too much benefit (three levels increased my damage by 1 so I just threw it all into stamina).
I did have fun with this one and it's one I'd want to keep an eye on.
