The game’s details via the publisher can be seen below:
GRIME has rooted itself in the Metroidvania playerscape with its anatomical horror, souls-like leveling progression, and innovative parry system. All this and more allowed developer Clover Bite the ability to bring the next addition to GRIME with “Colors of Rot.” “Colors of Rot” brings new abilities, new weapons, new enemies, and a whole new area for players to explore and uncover called Childbed. Use these new ranged-melee hybrid weapons and abilities to bring down the monstrosities you’ll find in this new expansion of GRIME!
