What is this mod?
This Legend of Grimrock 2 mod is a demo. This mod consists of the first two levels of the game and allows you to experience the gameplay as it currently stands. Along with the game itself, the music has been remastered from the original MIDI files (all but one track in this demo) to lossless OGG and WAV files (limitation of the game engine).
Why would I start something like this?
As a kid, I fell in love with Interplay's Stonekeep. This game sparked a love for fantasy and storytelling that has lasted until today in me. After playing, I've waited patiently to see a remake, not just a remaster. I mean, GOG allows us to play the original Stonekeep in all its 320x200 (or was it 640x480? hmmm...) pixel glory and MIDI music.
I've decided I was tired of waiting more decades for a remake of Interplay's Stonekeep and figured it would never come on its own. Taking details from old-fashioned strategy guides (yes, I still have one physical copy), secrets and hints from fan sites, lore from books (yep, own those two, too), and other media and content, I am working on a reimagining of sorts to bring this game back to a new generation and to scratch a long-lasting itch that I, and others, have had that Stonekeep started long ago (nearly 30 years ago now).
This is my faithful attempt to reimagine Stonekeep in hopes of bringing its great story to a new generation and fulfill a longing of Stonekeep nostalgia for others.

Some things to take note of
- You must own Legend of Grimrock 2 to play this mod. It can't run without LoG2 installed. I'm using their dungeon editor currently.
- This is NOT a 1-to-1 recreation of the game. The maps, monsters, weapons, items, etc. are not the same to the original. What's the fun in that? Just allow you to gather the original strategy guides and cheat... psh. No God Mode for you!
- This is a demo, nothing is final. I've constantly had to go back through and remake levels, content, etc. Expect changes.
- Having started this project in June of this year (2024), the learning curve is real. It is taking time to get all this working properly. Please be patient. Coming from a business background in programming and it IS NOT the same as game development. Caveats galore!
- The Thera NPC is incomplete. She starts off and then stalls. She'll be fine, leave her alone. I'll get to her soon enough.
- Khull-Khuum NPC is non-existent at this point. I've not been able to get to him yet. Other things like NPC animations, NPC models, etc. are needed and I've not been able to learn that aspect of this project yet. Plenty of other work to be done.
- No cinematics have been done. I am attempting to perform everything in-game vs movies and such. We'll see.
- One bug that I forgot to fix, the player might not be at full health when you start. To resolve this, simply rest (hit R when in-game) to gain full health. Sorry about that.
