Evaluation
Grimhook launched on December 8, 2023. In their launch announcement on December 9, 2023, the developer described the game as "complete after nine months of development." However, on April 3, 2024, the developer walked that back — they posted a letter thanking players and acknowledging demand for more content. In that post, they stated the development team is "working hard to deliver a complete experience with a focus on higher quality in all aspects," and noted that the April 2024 patch would "likely be the only patch for this version of the game." This strongly implies a future, more expansive version of Grimhook is planned — potentially a full rework or sequel-style release.
The problem is that as of June 20, 2026, there has been no further communication from Unlimited Fries since that April 3, 2024 post — a silence of over two years. No release date, no development update, no roadmap, and no additional news has been shared publicly through Steam. The developer encouraged players to join their Discord and follow social media for updates, but no Steam announcements have followed.
Given the explicit promise of future content combined with a prolonged silence well beyond any reasonable update window, the status of that promised work is currently unknown.
Evidence
Developer letter states the team is working on a 'complete experience with higher quality in all aspects,' and that the April 2024 patch will 'likely be the only patch for this version of the game' — implying a new or significantly expanded version is in development.
Last official Steam communication from the developer. No posts, patches, or announcements have followed as of June 20, 2026 — over two years of silence after promising a future version of the game.

About this game
Embark on a harrowing journey beneath the ruins of the once-vibrant city of Miletos.
Grimhook, a fast-paced, first-person action-adventure game, thrusts you into the heart of a flooded wasteland where robotic minions reign supreme and an ancient deity lies dormant beneath the city's surface. As Dart, you'll harness powerful abilities to navigate through cavernous depths; grapple, bounce, dash, and slash your way through relentless automata in intense combat arenas while you experience a grim world and a somber narrative.
Game Features:
- Fast-paced First-Person Platforming: Unleash a myriad of Lovecraftian abilities as you navigate the caverns of Miletos. Time and combine your powers to swiftly traverse the game's terrain and outmaneuver your enemies.
- Tightly Tuned Combat: Engage in intense battles in multiple combat arenas, utilizing your powers to dodge bullets and decimate robotic foes. Watch as fully destructible adversaries explode, leaving a chaotic aftermath on the battlefield.
- Explore a Cavernous World: Traverse dilapidated skyscrapers, rushing rapids, and forgotten excavations in a sprawling subterranean world. Encounter diverse biomes that add depth and variety to your adventure.
- Hand-Painted Art Style: Immerse yourself in a somber environment brought to life by a carefully hand-painted art style, capturing the melancholic beauty of a city on the brink of ruin.
- Immersive Audio Experience: Immerse yourself in the tragic journey with over 10 electronic tracks in the musical score, composed by BelowCloudNine.
- Voiced Characters: Two fully voiced characters bring intimacy to the narrative and characterize the unlikely camaraderie between Dart and the dormant deity beneath the city.
