Grim Legends 3: The Dark City – An overview

This game may have a familiar format, in which you need to find objects in each setting to complete a level before progressing, but there is much more to it than that. Firstly, you get to act out each scene in the form of the game's main character, Sylvia. She is the assistant of a strange monster hunting order who loses her memory in eerie circumstances. Much later, the so-called Incarceri Stone, an object of great power that prevents a terrible creature named Koshmaar from coming into this world, is stolen. In the game, Sylvia – along with her mentor – must take on an adventure that will lead them to the Gothically-styled city of Lichtenheim. For it is here that they will ultimately find out who was responsible for the stone's theft and the full mystery will be unraveled.
