To celebrate this important milestone both Legend of Grimrock games are now on sale with 40% off until the end of this week. If you haven't already done so, be sure to grab your copy now!

The Mac version naturally ships with the latest version of the Grimrock engine, and we are also launching a patch today for the Windows version of the game which improves performance and input latency, and fixes a few bugs in the main campaign.
