Created especially for the Nintendo Wii U, the award winning game features a heartwarming storyline about a little girl named Sari and Sw4nk, her butler robot friend. When Sw4nk does an unsatisfying job, Sari’s father sends him away to work in the mines. Sari goes against her father's will and tries to break him out. While traveling through the underground caverns, Sari and the robots get themselves into a world of trouble and it's up to you to help them out of their predicament. During their quest for safety you will be presented with challenging situations in four unique worlds; each with their own threats and opportunities. Discover all the different building blocks and build your way up to the surface in this charming game about friendship, robots and a little girl who loves to dance.

History

Origin

The game finds its origin in the medical world where Underground is currently being used to help surgeons train their laparoscopic surgery motor skills. What’s truly unique about this game is that it’s designed to be an entertainment product as well as an innovative training tool. Underground manages this by offering a fun experience to all of its players through a series of exciting challenges and a mesmerizing storyline.

The medical version of the game comes with a set of controllers designed to mimic the laparoscopic equipment and surgery motion to a very high degree of accuracy. However being an entertainment game at heart, Underground invites specialists to play the game by offering an immersive experience in a fantasy world.

Grendel Games

Grendel Games is a development studio of both entertainment and serious games. We strive to create truly entertaining games with real educational value. Our games are all innovative, immersive experiences and sometimes they change the world.

In a period of nearly 10 years Grendel Games has grown to around 10 people. That’s still small enough to be informally creative, but big enough to be one of the most prominent in the world of serious games.

We feel that both entertainment and serious games should be ‘seriously entertaining’. In addition, we try to give all of our products an identity of their own. Every game should be original in some way. A visual style, some never-before-seen control scheme or the translation of clinical training into gameplay elements can all set a game apart.

We strive to cater to gamers with a knack for original and off-the-wall games, while remaining among the world’s leading trendsetters in the field of serious games.
