In old English churchyards, they say the first burial wasn’t a person but a dog: a black hound left to guard the dead against the devil and grave robbers. (Read the full legend of the church grim.) Church Grim puts you in his paws.
The story
A warlock has crept into the churchyard and torn the spirits from their graves to steal their power. A few slipped from his grasp and now wander lost in the dark. As the Grim, you’ll track them through fog-bound graveyards, ruined abbeys, sunken bogs and the rain-soaked streets of London’s West End, leading each one safely home before the shades find them.
What’s waiting for you
- Ten levels, from a quiet village churchyard to the crypt beneath St Pancras Old Church
- Five bosses: the Gravedigger, the Black Shuck, the Bog Hag, the Masked Phantom and the Warlock himself
- Zombies that fall apart and pull themselves back together, gargoyles, phantom monks, shadow thieves and a ghostly hansom cab
