It took us over 15 years, but we’ve finally done it - the official Grunt Hoodie is here at last. Better late than never 🌹 And honestly… has any character ever deserved their own merch more? Don’t think so, no.Slip the hoodie on and you’re wrapped in the Grunt’s soft, crimson maw, with those unmistakably bulging eyes perched proudly on your head.In all seriousness, our goal was to create something that honors the classic game and the beloved character, while still being a piece you’d actually want to wear out in the world. We hope we struck the right balance. Not feeling the hoodie? No worries

There are some things in life that I admire but can't claim to properly understand. These include the literary works of James Joyce, the vegan lifestyle, and people who want to play incredibly scary games in VR. I like horror games, but there's a limit on my tolerance, and Amnesia: The Dark Descent landed right on that limit when it slithered out of Frictional Games' culvert a terrifying thirteen years ago. Hence, the mere idea of playing that game in VR makes me shudder... Read more.
