Grimm's Hollow was one of the best indie games I've played lately.

The idea that you can become a ghost or a reaper is a creative and innovative idea.

The main character, Lavender, is the incredible story of her becoming a reaper in search of her brother, Timmy, who has become a ghost and needs to be reaped by the reapers. Grimm, the leader of the reapers, conveys a sense of distrust, but in fact he is a sensible and mature character.

The game's artwork is beautiful, especially the reaper baker (I can't remember his name) and the background gives off a good vibe as well as a feeling of weirdness.

The battles are normal, it's what you'd expect from a game that uses RPG Maker 2003, so for me a game project creator in RPG Makers is fine, in that it brings the problem that it's easy to farm xp by moving around and so it's easy to get the power ups.

The true and good ending is beautiful and made me emotional, while the bad endings are so depressing that I insisted on having the true ending.

All in all, Grimm's Hollow is one of the best experiences that deserved to be better recognized in indie RPG Maker games and it's an experience that's well worth having.
