About the Game

GRAPPIN is a First-Person Adventure game.

After a difficult awakening, you stumble upon the Grip, an artifact that can be used as a grappling hook.

Your mission is difficult yet straightforward: return the Grip to the Grip Shrine, perched on top of the highest Mountain.

You will have to overcome many dangers and face the harshness of nature, from a blazing hot lava cave deep in the Mountain, to a dangerous ridge full of dangers.

On your way to the top, find the Relics to unravel the mystery surrounding the Grip.

Are you ready for a gripping adventure?
