GRIM, a VR multiplayer survival sandbox set on Mars that’s inspired by RUST, kicks off its early access alpha this week on Quest and Steam.
Developed by one-person team Spoonfed Interactive with support from Combat Waffle Studios (Ghosts of Tabor, Silent North), GRIM promises a focus on realism with a sci-fi twist. You are trying to survive in a world that is post-apocalyptic and has both PvP (player versus player) and PvE (player versus environment). Here’s the extended trailer.

You’ll need to search abandoned outposts for water, food, weapons and ammunition, as well as build and strengthen your base. The game allows you to form alliances with other survivors if you wish. The Early Access Alpha for
GRIM will begin on January 16, on both
