Grimmwood is a challenging co-op MMO, seamlessly blending elements of survival, strategy and exploration. In an ageless, mystical forest, together with up to 40 other strangers, you need to defend your Village because each night, around midnight, the monsters will attack.
It's done – finally :)
Apologies to our European fans for the “slightly” unconventional time. Believe me there’s a good reason behind it.
Below you will find this rather long list of new features. We simply skipped the boring part with all the optimizations and fixes we made :) One thing is for sure – Grimmwood has never been bigger, better, or shinier. Enjoy!
And please try streaming on Steam as much as you can. Especially as early as possible after the release. For that we’ll be forever in debt to you!
See you in the Village!

After the player dies in Village (or the Village falls), he/she can see his/her score based on 17 different in-game actions. The total score places the player in one of the 4 different performance tiers - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. For each tier there's a bonus item list from which a single item gets drawn and that's the player's bonus item for the next game. The bonus item is given as an addition to the starting items during the Character Generation.
7. Extended Follow Mode
An online Player will now be able to control up to 4 offline players. The online player can choose a specific follower to give water to, feed or heal. When in battle, the online player can choose a follower to attack or flee with and even the specific weapon with which the follower will attack. The online player will be also able to see the current Stamina, Sanity Level, Conditions and the Traits of the selected follower.
8. Global Map Filters
The following filters will be present: Whitewood Grove, Darkwood Grove, Herbage, Underbrush, Pond, Spring, Hunting Ground, Player's Grave and Ruined Chapel. By choosing a specific filter the Player will be able to view all the tiles containing this specific Point of Interest and also to see if the resources on it are currently either Depleted or Scarce.
