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 game would be fine if it weren't for the janky controls. You want me to perform precision jumps? Then give me presicion controls. It irks me to no end when I have to repeat a jump or maneuver 100 times. Sometimes pressing the jump button will not even respond at all. Even old games like ninja gaiden for NES was mind bendingly difficult but the controls were precise and extremely responsive so when you died you knew it was your fault not the controls. Tighten up the controls and you're good.

GRIS by Nomada Studio is my favourite game ever. Its simplicity and sophistication make it unique. The watercolour aesthetics, with colours filling in as you progress, are stunning. I love that there's no death—you just get back up and try again if you miss a jump. The tiny creatures that help you are adorable. I play it daily on my commute; it’s incredibly calming. The soundtrack by Berlinist is also beautiful. I’ve just purchased the 2nd game, Neva, and can’t wait to play it this weekend ❤️

I saw this game on Game of the Week, decided to download, and I was surprised by how good it was. The environment is stunning. The gameplay and controls are similar to Limbo. As someone who started with mobile games, I think the controls are good, but if you're not used to it, use the controller. Same thing with other games like Sky Children of Light, Alto Games, and Limbo. Anyway, I want to say this game is a masterpiece. Definitely recommended to try, but don't get addicted lol
