Specializing in creating story-driven cinematic trailers for games like the “World of Tanks” series, PLAYSENSE wanted to take time to support great indie titles and worked closely with the Clover Bite team to develop an atmospheric trailer featuring the game’s rich lore and unique art style. Players will recognize the bloodthirsty clawhound, domineering eyebrute, and mind-warping amalgam when they pick up the game next Monday, August 2nd. With the captivating precision only their cinematic trailer could provide, players can now visualize the healing, animating power of Breath and the devastating absorption of enemies into the player’s black hole head.
“Working with Clover Bite and Akupara Games was a pure pleasure and a great experience for us. We went through several hundred games on various platforms before picking GRIME as it’s a special project sporting a unique setting and a huge potential.” states Alex Zhdanovich, Creative Lead of PLAYSENSE. “By creating this trailer, we meant to help develop the video game industry and support young indie-developers at the beginning of their journey.”
