GRIMMWICK — RELIGHT THE NIGHT Welcome to Grimmwick, the town where Halloween never ends. Every hundred years the Ember Moon recharges the Everflame — the great bonfire that keeps every ghost friendly and every candy sweet. But tonight, a forgotten shadow named Grimm swallowed the flame and shattered it into five embers, corrupting the beloved guardians who found them. Everyone always says Pip is too small for adventures. Everyone is about to be wrong. A REAL ADVENTURE, COMPLETELY FREE • 25 handcrafted levels across 5 districts — moonlit pumpkin farms, a spooky cemetery that descends into glowing catacombs, a haunted witchwood, a pirate galleon beached in a dried-up harbor, and a clockwork castle where every clock stopped at midnight • 5 boss guardians, each with its own fight — and each with a secret takedown for clever players to discover • A wholesome ending: the final blow of the game is not an attack RACE THE NIGHT • Game Center leaderboards: the Fastest Night board ranks every finisher, and the Flawless board crowns perfect 75-star runs • Unlockable characters with their own moves — ride Zoe the Witchling's broom, and someone else is waiting at the end of the story... • THE FIRST FLAME: a one-of-a-kind reward worn by exactly ONE player in the world — the reigning champion. Take it if you can. FEELS LIKE THE CLASSICS Run, double-jump, ground-pound, mega-bounce, and climb through levels built the way you remember: one idea introduced, twisted, and mastered; secret exits; high roads and low roads; hidden warps for speedrunners. Every level plays identically every time — die, learn, triumph.
