About this game

Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress, which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality. As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities.

GRIS is a serene and evocative experience, free of danger, frustration or death. Players will explore a meticulously designed world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and an elegant original score. Through the game light puzzles, platforming sequences, and optional skill-based challenges will reveal themselves as more of Gris’s world becomes accessible.

GRIS is an experience with almost no text, only simple control reminders illustrated through universal icons. The game can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their spoken language.

Ratings and reviews

The visuals, music and animations are stunning. I also really like the symbolism of the non-verbal story, which became clear during the end of the game. But there are downsides too: I played it on a 6,8" phone, and could hardly see what I had to interact with in some screens. It happened a couple of times, that I had to wander around for multiple minutes before understanding what to do (badly telegraphed actions). Also, I would guess that you spend 80% of this game just walking around.

GRIS isn't just a game; it's a stunning piece of playable art. The watercolor visuals are breathtaking, evolving with emotion as you play, and the music perfectly matches that serene, sometimes melancholic, tone. The gameplay is a lovely mix of light puzzles and platforming, designed to be an evocative experience rather than a difficult one. Overall, it's a truly memorable journey.

A well done, amazing game going through what grief, for the most part, is like. The color, activities, even the "crow". I mean, most people don't understand and its sad as, everyone well go through it, though different experience for one another. This game is, well made, thank you for your time, effort, art and music.
