Legend of Grimrock is a first-person dungeon crawler made by a small team of industry vets. If that sentence alone doesn't get you all riled up, I'd recommend checking out the embedded trailer. If you're still not dancing around the room then perhaps indie first-person tile-based RPGs aren't your thing. And that's fine. Really! I totally get it.

The launch details for the PC version will be revealed next week, but that doesn't mean they'll be done working!

After spending so much time with Dungeons of Dredmor and Binding of Isaac, I can only welcome Legend of Grimrock into my inevitable-death embracing soul.
