History VideoGame / Grime

* WasItReallyWorthIt: [[spoiler: All creatures in the world of Grime feel incomplete because they are not fully humanoid. When Yon is reshaped into a Carven, he realizes he still feels empty inside.]]

* BeautyEqualsGoodness: ''Deconstructed.'' The world of Grime divides all living beings into castes, and subsequently, their place in the food chain, by how humanoid they are. [[spoiler: All stone creatures are at the bottom. If they pay tribute, they can be reshaped at the Carven Palace into lesser Carven as Servants. Servants can receive a limited amount of Flesh to become greater Carven. The Coda are made entirely of Flesh. And the Chiseled One is above them all.]]

** [[spoiler:The first has the Chiseled One not ascend to godhood and remain as a unique individual in the world. This is only if you decide NOT to fight Shidra.]]

* LastDance: [[spoiler: All of Coda, up to and including the boss fight. The people there know that their world is ending and t he only purpose it now serves is to become your nourishment. By allowing you to pass through their city and giving you a last dance to remember, they are ensuring that some portion of them will remain of them within your memory.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: The Chiseled One gets called out by several denizens for destroying just about everything and everyone in sight without a care for them, all to grow stronger.

* {{Metroidvania}}: The gameplay is done on a 2D plane with the map being filled out as you go and more secrets as you go, and some areas that can only be accessed as you gain more powerups.

* WhatTheHellHero: The Chiseled One gets called out by several denizens for destroying about everything in sight without a care for them, all to grow stronger.

* HeroicMime: The PlayerCharacter never speaks which might have something to do with the BlackHole for a head. [[spoiler:Later in the game, one of your allies said that he despised you not just for the perfect proportions and destroying everything in sight but also for not saying a single word to him.]]

** [[spoiler:The first has the Chiseled One not ascend to godhood and remain as a unique individual in the world.]]
** [[spoiler: The second has the Chiseled One defeat the FinalBoss who was trying to stop him from ascending to godhood lest it kills all the denizens in their dying world and exits the place to be surrounded by the void of space, other blackhole-like entities, and the remains of gods. He eventually absorbs the remains and becomes a massive living black hole.]]

* JustFrame: The Chiseled One "hunts" by absorbing their prey into them through the black hole on a successful counter.

* {{Metroidvania}}: It certainly feels like one, what with the backstory explained via hidden clues and text descriptions and large areas to explore to find hidden upgrades.

** AfterTheEnd: From what is shown, the world of ''Grime'' is a grim place that seems to be on the verge of collapse.
** AGodIAm: [[spoiler:It is revealed that the PlayerCharacter is an offspring of two god-like beings and the world is within the dead body of one of them. One of the endings has the player leave the world and become a massive BlackHole-like entity alongside others of his kind.]]
** AlienSky: After escaping the Weeping Cavity into the open, the sky is an ominous pink-like color with no sun and rocks keep falling from the sky from an unseen roof.
** Main/AlienLandmass: The land itself is very strange and bizarre. Such oddities include stalactites with eyes that follow the PlayerCharacter, teeth growing out of the ground, and giant human-like heads and hands reaching upwards in the background as if they are trying to escape from this world.
** BizarreAlienBiology: All over the place. Other than the PlayerCharacter, the various denizens are a hodgepodge of differently sized body parts and bizarre landscapes such as living arms growing out of walls and pots, Boulderheads who are rock people with oversized heads, and a crab with a lower human jaw as one of the bosses. [[spoiler:They are formed and brought to life via the Breath that was passed to the female entity shown in the intro with the PlayerCharacter being their proper offspring.]]
** BodyMotifs: Again, all over the place given the obsession with perfect human anatomy and proportions. Various characters discuss achieving perfect proportions and various deformed human-like organs like lower jaws and hands are seen on several of the characters and enemies. [[spoiler:This is due to the Breath being absorbed by the surroundings in the process of creating forms, which created the many incomplete shapes spread throughout the world.]]
** HeroicMime: The PlayerCharacter never speaks which might have something to do with the BlackHole for a head. [[spoiler:Later in the game, one of your allies said that he despised you not just for the perfect proportions and destroying everything in sight but also for not saying a single word to him.]]
** LivingWeapon: Some of the weapons you can carry are living beings.
** {{Metroidvania}}: It certainly feels like one, what with the backstory explained via hidden clues and text descriptions and large areas to explore to find hidden upgrades.
** MultipleEndings: The game has two endings.
*** [[spoiler:The first has the Chiseled One not ascend to godhood and remain as a unique individual in the world.]]
*** [[spoiler: The second has the Chiseled One defeat the FinalBoss who was trying to stop him from ascending to godhood lest it kills all the denizens in their dying world and exits the place to be surrounded by the void of space, other blackhole-like entities, and the remains of gods. He eventually absorbs the remains and becomes a massive living black hole.]]
** VileVulture: One of the bosses, aptly named "Vulture", is a massive avian-like monster in the crude shape of a vulture made of human bones and fur.
** WhatTheHellHero: The Chiseled One gets called out by several denizens for destroying about everything in sight without a care for them, all to grow stronger.

Set in a surreal world set on perfect anatomy and proportions, you play as a rock-like humanoid with a BlackHole for a head called "The Chiseled One" by several of the malformed denizens. With no information on where you are or what is going on, you have to explore the world, fight and absorb enemies and uncover the reason for the world's existence.

''Grime's'' gameplay is a sidescroller with 3-D models and landscapes. There is no indication of the backstory or background information and you have to piece it together using the clues and words of denizens in this world. Combat is skill-based focusing on well-timed blocks and absorbs, along with lots of tricky platforming puzzles and bosses. Players get points from killing enemies which they can use to upgrade their tools or themselves. One mechanic is the ability to steal an enemies' Breath upon a successful parry which will fill a bar. Upon filling it, the player can use the Breath to heal themselves, thus the game encourages players to parry their enemies rather than destroy them from the getgo.
