The premise pulled me in
The MIX’s Game Dev Direct happened a couple of days ago, and I’ve been catching up on all the cool indie games that were shown off during the event. One that’s caught my eye isGRIME, a metroidvania where you play as a character with a black hole for a head. A literal spacetime-deforming blob for a skull. And you know what? It looks like a good time.

GRIME | Unformed Desert Gameplay Overview
GRIME is a metroidvania game where you play as a humanoid black hole and bash your way through a surrealist world filled with horrors. It does remind me a touch ofGetting Over It’s desert landscape, but if it had succumbed to an eldritch nightmare. Given the game’s premise, I would not be surprised if the final boss is a mangled horror that resides in a giant pot, wielding a sledgehammer in each of its tentacles.
Despite its bizarre setup, GRIME looks like a decent time. I’m particularly into the parry, which if you time correctly, straight up sucks enemies into your head. It’s at around the 1:16 mark in the trailer, and curiously, a message springs up which says “Clawhound 1/3” afterwards. I wonder what happens when you round off that number?
