Warning: The following text is taken from the Itch.IO page. I don't think I can do a better job than its author when presenting this utility used to create text adventure games for the Amstrad CPC.

GRIMM is a retro game creation utility to produce text adventure games in the spirit of the Amstrad CPC.

It combines three essential elements:

• an adventure engine
• a dedicated editor
• a simple, structured, and readable scripting language

GRIMM is for authors, creators, and retro-computing enthusiasts who want to design parsable adventure games, interactive fiction, and old-school exploration experiences without having to build a complete engine from scratch.

The principle is simple: you write your game's content, organize your locations, objects, and rules, and then generate a final playable version.

With GRIMM, you can :

• create locations, objects, and interactions
• define exits, hidden passages, and conditions
• write an introduction, an ending, and death sequences
• manage Object properties and simple game logic
• Set up a score and usage counters
• Associate images with the introduction, ending, death, or locations
• Export your project as a final playable build

GRIMM is not a modern drag-and-drop game maker. This is a focused authoring tool, built around:

• clarity
• structured writing
• deliberately retro constraints
• an old-school philosophy

It will be particularly suited to those who enjoy :

• the Amstrad CPC aesthetic
• parser games
• text adventures from the 80s and 90s
• dungeon crawlers and exploration
• compact and readable game logic

This project includes :

• the GRIMM editor
• the scripting workflow for GRIMM V1
• export/build tools
• documentation
• files example

This publication corresponds to GRIMM V1, the first stable, production-oriented version. It is in French. The next version will allow the use of English.
