— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“9.5/10 - abused the F12 key a lot. This "playable art" contains very powerful/cathartic scenes and you'll be rewarded for going after 100%. At the end, it made me think a lot about my own life experiences and the processing of loss and grief. Gris encapsulates what it feels like…”
