Grimm Syndrome

Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. You're in a nightmare.

What if a fairy tale turned into something much darker? Explore the subconscious of a girl trapped in a mysterious coma. Dive into her dreamworld, uncover the truth, and guide her way back to reality.

Grimm Syndrome is an adventure game blending narrative exploration, rhythm challenges, and light mini-games. You play as Zephyr — a dream diver with the rare ability to enter the minds of others through their dreams.
