Hmm, GOG's version is numbered 1.0.0.6 while ingame it says 1.1.3.
Anyway, the game plays as smooth as butter, no comparison to any dungeon crawler I have ever played, be it on Amiga, C64, DOS, whatever. And with only a dozen or so keys you can jump right in and feel immediately at home.
Anybody doing hardcore mode?

Well what is there to say, you create (Or use a pre-created.) party of four based on either humans, minotaurs, insectoids or reptiles and of classes fighter, rogue and mage.
When creating a custom party you get ten skill points to allocate to the attributes you want to use and four points to allocate to skills, attributes remain identical for each class and race (Well all races are identical aside from the bonuses and penalties provided to non-humans.) but skills vary for fighters, rogues and mages.
Fighters for example can level up heavy armor or maces whereas a rogue levels up assassination or daggers and a mage elemental spells and staff defense for some examples.
These skills go from level 0 (not learned) to 50 and give bonuses usually every four points such as to health or special abilities or passive improvements and the ability to learn new spells for mages.
When the game begins you see a generic introduction to "Mount Grimrock" and the dungeon located there as four prisoners (Which are meant to be you and your party of course.) are sent into it's depths in order to pass through it's many challenges and redeem your crimes that you stand accused for.
As the game truly begins you stand in a rather square room and a message shows briefly that you can read a tutorial via the in-game menu, can also save the game when you want and this early area is excellent to practice your controls either for mouse movement or WSAD and turning via Q or E which is better than sidestepping trough rooms ( ) also you can hold MB2 to freely look around even up and down the room and when released it snaps back to the view that is closest.
You'll also note the book icon and rest icons (Rest is not required as such.) which brings up the map, I believe you can add your own notes and if playing on the special difficulty mode you don't have a map at all, otherwise it'll fill out as you proceed but without anything noted on it.
You make your way trough the early dungeon rooms and find minor junk and basic equipment, learn about simple puzzles, hidden rooms and eventually come across monsters to fight whom usually drop chunks of meat or other held equipment.
Also as a source of light you can take (and place, useful.) torches, it's worth carefully explore the dungeon rooms for hidden buttons, small niches with items or dropped gear, stonework tile seems a bit basic at first but there's a number of subtle variations to define cells, overgrown areas and other such things and of course doors, trapdoors, switches and pressure tiles.
Equipment is used by either right clicking it or dragging it which will then throw it (Clicking on a character opens the inventory for them letting you see weight and encumbrance, food levels and such, can use items here by hovering over them or dragging them into the equipment slots or clicking on them.) dragging a item at the top of the screen throws it or you can right click if it is a throwing item to begin with, dragging it to the bottom of the screen instead drops it.
Party formation is the standard four square one with two in the front (usually fighters.) and two in the back (A rogue and a mage in my case, ranged and support plus they're weaker in a outright fight.) and what else can I say.
There's a lot to discover and see in the dungeon like I mentioned, very careful attention to detail, monsters are also pretty varied and animates quite OK, game is in realtime but the difficulty can be adjusted if you don't want enemies to attack as often for example although there's no deeper customization other than easy, normal and hard plus the mode that removes the map entirely forcing you to draw your own or rely on other means of navigation.
Oh right spells is used via a wand or via "hand to hand" or rather in such a situation a rune board of nine tiles opens up and via combinations you can use different spells, scrolls can often be found which reveal the spell combination and skill level required for it but you can also experiment and soon learn the runes for each of the four elements, rune for shield effect, rune for range effect and so on and as you succeed with combinations I believe they're noted down for you making it easier to cast the spells you already have.
Equipment is also fairly varied though I've not found much but simple clothing so far and very crude weapons but there's a decent number of categories such as ranged, staffs, hand to hand and the three warrior skills of axe, sword and mace.
(Armor is also defined as heavy and light and can have penalties if you don't have the required skill to wear a item successfully.)
Sound and music fit very well, no voice acting from what I can see but it doesn't matter, unsure how the story will proceed and what can be encountered later on, I just reached the second dungeon floor some short time ago after exploring what I think is all of the first floor.
EDIT: I'm probably missing stuff but the post got kinda long and dragged out, different portraits for each race if you create a custom party and spells are pretty varied from attacks via ranged or cloud based methods to creating light or even darkness to protective shields and what else there might be, still not 100% sure what each of the nine runes corresponds to and what would happen with longer combinations.
Effects are also nice even if things might at first look a bit flat but textures are well done and pretty sharp too and stuff like shadows, flames and similar create a illusion of depth to the otherwise pretty square rooms.
(Which looks great in motion just to make that clear, staring at a wall to find a hidden button less so but it's not bad at all and I'm surprised that the game is barely 700 MB.)

Ok, the steam store page just changed. You can buy the game for 10,99 euro, but it's still locked.
Damn.
Edit: Oh, and it's 9,89€ with a discount.
