- Description
- A remake of the same game that appeared on the PC back in 2004, Gurumin will be Falcom first self-made game (the company has so far awarded all their games to other developers, opting to publish instead). The main character is a young girl named Parin who was sent to his uncle in a town Tez after her parents went overseas. Feeling bored, Parin explore the mining town to look for friends only to end up meeting with some really naughty creatures who took away her new friends. Armed with a drill that can be used to break through walls or as a weapon, Parin begins her adventure underground.
- Official Fact Sheet
- Gurumin immerses gamers in a vivid fantasy world filled with a colorful cast of characters. Real-time combat and stunning 3D graphics combine with a spirited soundtrack to make Gurumin a fast-paced, immersive, magical adventure.
Gurumin stars a strong-willed girl named Parin, who is sent to live with her grandfather in a small mining town while her parents are off excavating an ancient ruin. With no other children living in this town, Parin is surprised one day to encounter a young girl being tormented by a stray dog. After Parin drives off the mongrel, she is shocked to discover the young girl is actually a monster, and like all monsters, invisible to adults. Parin is soon invited to pass through a crack in the wall behind her home and enter Monster Village. Parin has just started making monster friends when evil spirits, known as the Phantoms, invade the village and monsternap most of the inhabitants. Parin soon learns of the Legendary Drill, a weapon hidden underneath the village and, in the right hands, powerful enough to destroy the Phantoms. Thus begins Parin’s quest to reclaim the Legendary Drill and set the world right.
