'''Grim Chapel''' is the eight district investigated in ''VideoGame/CriminalCaseMysteriesOfThePast''.

A rustic, forest-surrounded district with a creepy and unnatural ambiance, Grim Chapel is a barely developed portion of Concordia characterized for its occultism and supernatural-based folklore, decaying buildings, and its local mental asylum, Gryphon Sanctuary, which is rumored to be hiding a dark secret behind its walls.

While the Flying Squad first arrives to Grim Chapel to take care of "The Devil", a consultant living in the district and helping the Rochester family get away with murders by disguising them as supernatural occurrences, the plot undergoes a HalfwayPlotSwitch after [[DiscOneFinalBoss said consultant's arrest]] to instead focusing on investigating [[BedlamHouse Gryphon Sanctuary]], a mysterious mental asylum where sane and healthy people are rumored to be WrongfullyCommitted by an anonymous employee for a price.

!!Tropes:
* ArcVillain: A BigBadDuumvirate between William Oland and Sylvia May, an OutlawCouple aiding rich people (such as [[BigScrewedUpFamily the Rochesters]]) dispose of their enemies though their own different means: while William poses as "The Devil" and helps them commit murders [[ScoobyDooHoax by disguising them as supernatural occurrences]], Sylvia uses her position as a nurse at [[BedlamHouse Gryphon Sanctuary]] to [[WrongfullyCommitted wrongfully commit]] sane people that are seen as a threat by the family, taking them out of the picture through non-violent means.
*BedlamHouse: The second half of Grim Chapel focuses on investigating Gryphon Sanctuary the local mental asylum that is revealed to be a corrupt place [[WrongfullyCommitted where sane and healthy people are forcefully committed by bribing the staff.]]
*BleakLevel: Grim Chapel is shown to be a decrepit, sad, and overall the worst place to live in Concordia (and that's taking [[TheCityNarrows Sinner's End]] into the account), with its regressive community still believing in {{Witch Hunt}}s, most of its buildings having a decayed appearance or being outright abandoned, and not one, but two criminals terrorizing the district though their own despicable ways involving murder and wrongful hospitalization.
*DarkerAndEdgier: Grim Chapel has by far one of the darkest plots in the franchise, being only rivaled by the likes of [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughAirportDistrict Grimsborough's Airport]] and [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionEastAsiaRegion East Asia]], as it involves the Flying Squad investigating a BleakLevel where [[BigScrewedUpFamily the Rochesters]] dispose of their enemies in wicked ways involving unsolved murders and forced hospitalizations at a mental asylum.
*HalfwayPlotSwitch: Although The Flying Squad arrives to Grim Chapel to investigate the Rochester's alleged DealWithTheDevil, said Devil gets exposed and arrested [[DiscOneFinalBoss right in the middle of the district]], which then focuses on investigating Gryphon Sanctuary and [[WrongfullyCommitted the illicit activities going on behinds its walls.]]
*RecurringCharacter: The main recurring characters for Grim Chapel are [[TheBartender William Oland]], [[BattleaxeNurse Sylvia May]], [[BadBoss Gregory Stravinsky]], [[GentlemanAndAScholar George Okamoto]], [[IWillFindYou Hope Woodford]], and to a lesser extent [[ThePatriarch Horatio]] and [[WrongfullyCommitted Patricia Rochester.]]
*ScoobyDooHoax: The first half of Grim Chapel focuses on unmasking The Devil, a ProfessionalKiller who [[HiddenVillain works in the shadows]] and helps people commit murder by disguising deaths as supernatural occurrences or [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident freaky accidents]], such as using a pumping machine to drain someone's blood and make it look like a vampire attack.
