About This Demo

Step into the world of Grim Heart: Bleak Laments in this free demo.

Play as Hemwick, a veteran witch hunter returning to a life he hoped to leave behind. Explore the opening region of a dark fantasy world, uncover the first pieces of its story, and begin your search for Oswald, the Cursed.

Master the fundamentals of Grim Heart's fast-paced combat.

Dodge, parry, chain attacks, wield swords and firearms, and discover how preparation often matters as much as skill. Unlock your first spell, Push, and use it to create openings, manipulate enemies, and turn the environment to your advantage.

Experiment with your playstyle by discovering over 40 unique Charms hidden throughout the demo.

Mix different bonuses, combine them with multiple weapons, and adapt your build to face the dangers ahead.

The hunt culminates in a battle against Oswald, a relentless boss who will test everything you've learned.

Study his attacks, exploit his weaknesses, and prove yourself worthy of surviving what lies beyond.

Magic is more than raw power.

Use the Push spell to control the flow of combat, exploit the environment, and gain the upper hand against dangerous foes.
