Our take on Dark Grim Mariupolis
Rather than framing the investigation as a clear case to solve, the game makes the detective's reason for entering Mariupolis uncertain. Its point-and-click structure also includes dialogue choices, moral decisions, deception, and the possibility of character death.
What is Dark Grim Mariupolis?
Dark Grim Mariupolis is a point-and-click adventure set in a city blending noir, Greek mythology, magic, and mysticism.
The player takes the role of a detective-like figure investigating Mariupolis, though the reason for the investigation is not immediately clear. The game involves solving puzzles, gathering information, and choosing dialogue responses to pursue goals. Players may steal property, conceal their intentions, make moral choices, and comment on work, life, and social order. The city is under the influence of the grim god Pentaculus, and the protagonist can die. Sarcasm and arrogance are described as defenses against Mariupolis’s oppressive atmosphere.
