About This Game

Breaking the Grip is a multiplayer horror and strategy game. As a survivor, complete a ritual to eliminate the spirit before it drives you insane. As the spirit, spread terror and break their will. Who will prevail between life and the beyond?

Detailed Description

Dive into Terror with Breaking the Grip!

Breaking the Grip is an asymmetrical multiplayer game blending horror and strategy. Survivors and the Spirit engage in a psychological battle: one seeks to escape its grasp, while the other drags them into madness. Only teamwork, cunning, and nerves of steel will lead to victory.

Will you be the one to survive… or the shadow that hunts them to their last breath?
