Grimoire Groves, the “Hades meets Animal Crossing” dungeon crawler roguelite will now release on March 4th – demo soon

From Press Release:

Cosy rogue-lite dungeon crawler Grimoire Groves announced an update to its release date today – developers Stardust will now be launching the game for PC via Steam on March 4th! A Nintendo Switch version is to follow. Grimoire Groves will also be receiving a new, updated demo as part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest.

About Grimoire Groves

Join the witches in their quest to restore the Grimoire Groves! Master magic, grow cute plant creatures and discover the mystery of the Rainbow Socks in this cosy, rogue-lite dungeon crawler.

The wait is finally over! It’s the first day of Primrose’s witch apprenticeship. But when she arrives at her aunt Lavender’s cottage, the fabled Grimoire Groves are not what she remembers from her childhood: Neither the elemental spirits nor the quirky plant creatures can be found in the forest that once was home to so much magical life.

Key Features

  • Befriend a cast of unique and quirky characters.
