✦ AI summary

Grimm 1865 receives praise for its atmospheric Victorian horror-detective experience with a dark reimagining of classic fairy tales, strong world-building, puzzles, and moral choices that create an engaging, moody adventure. However, players consistently criticize the game's very short length and note that some character writing feels superficial or underdeveloped, with the game potentially being a student project that shows promise but lacks the polish and depth of a full commercial release.

Grimm 1865 is a brief first-person horror action game created and published by ITD Collective. Developed by a four-person student team over approximately three months, it is presented as a small learning project rather than a fully developed commercial production. That context is important because the game contains only a single level and is designed to last roughly five to ten minutes. Its limited size makes it feel more like a demonstration of an idea than a complete horror adventure, but the concept behind it has enough personality to make the experience worth examining. The story centers on Hebert Grimm, a man who has spent nine years studying abroad before finally returning home. Upon his arrival, he discovers that his father died more than six years earlier. Hebert had remained unaware because the letter containing the news apparently never reached him. The same message reveals another mystery: his father left behind a special family heirloom at their former estate. This discovery sends Hebert back to the old property, where his attempt to retrieve the artifact becomes considerably more dangerous when a supernatural presence begins interfering with his search. The premise i…

Игра 'Grimm 1865' – это мрачное и захватывающее приключение, умело сочетающее элементы хоррора и детектива в викторианском антураже. Атмосфера безысходности и тайны пронизывает каждый уголок этого жестокого мира. Сюжет, основанный на переосмыслении известных сказок братьев Гримм, держит в напряжении до самого финала. Повествование развивается неспешно, позволяя в полной мере насладиться детально проработанными локациями и прочувствовать гнетущую атмосферу Лондона 1865 года. Графика, хоть и не отличается ультрасовременностью, великолепно передает эстетику эпохи и добавляет мрачности происходящему. Геймплей, сосредоточенный на исследовании, решении головоломок и принятии непростых моральных выборов, хорошо сбалансирован и не дает заскучать. Отдельно стоит отметить звуковое сопровождение, которое создает жутковатую, обволакивающую атмосферу и усиливает эффект погружения. Несмотря на некоторую линейность сюжета, 'Grimm 1865' оставляет после себя сильное впечатление. Это игра для тех, кто ценит мрачные истории, атмосферные приключения и готов столкнуться с моральной дилеммой. Если вы любите хорроры с уклоном в детектив и вас не пугают сказки, рассказанные на новый, пугающий лад, то 'G…

I know this probably got mixed reviews because of the length of the game but it was probably a senior project that got ported to Steam. Not a bad game, just very short, and I hope whoever made it is able to continue with their career in game design. Rating: 7/10

"sulking alone in the attic" is one way to write a character in mourning, I guess
