Grunn
A gardener gets hired for maintenance work over the weekend. A simple task, but strangely some tools are missing… The owner of the garden isn't around, and their house is off-limits. Perhaps new tools can be found in the mysterious town, or maybe some of the reserved townsfolk have seen them?

“Interesting little game. You get dropped off at your new gardening job and have to get the garden cleaned up in a couple days. You get some instructions as to what to do and rules about what not to do. You can do your…”
“Great game, highly recommended. do not look up info before playing, it can ruin the descovery of the game”
“very good normal game about gardening! somehow scratches the knowledge progression itch of Outer Wilds”

“This game is very good at catching you off guard, while making you want to explore more. I never though a cozy game and a horror game could work without it just being horror. But the gameplay itself is very calming. I…”
“A simple gardening game with a strangely eerie atmosphere… perfect for those who enjoy both cozy chores-sims and suspenseful horror!! The game also has a fun puzzle-like quality to it as you discover more and more about…”

“This game itches my brain in the best way. Finding something new and solving a polaroid that's been haunting me for a while remains satisfying, even if it ends my run. I fully intend to 100% this game!”
“I no-lifed Grunn over the course of an evening (that "evening" may have ended around 4am) and the following day. I got most of the achievements, including the sub-10 minute one without help and then did have to check…”
“It's a little bit cozy, a little bit cosmic horror, and a little bit Dutch. All that mixed together will creates a "okay, one more run" type game.”

“An enjoyable surrealist puzzle box- I mean, wow, what an accurate replica of Dutch gardening. It took me 3 hours to get the "good ending," but this game is far more about exploring and enjoying. It was fun to keep…”
“I did not expect it to be so heavily a "time-loop" game, but it certainly is and is a pretty good one at that. You figure out what is going on much more through exploration rather than strict puzzles per se. But the…”
“An entertaining and gripping little mystery/puzzle/horror game with some funny moments and good jump scares, as well as a nice slowly increasing unsettling atmosphere and some decent open ended puzzles to boot. Doesn't…”

“Grunn is as "cute" game with a simple mission that evolves into something more as you explore the world. Like others have said, if you enjoy Outer Wilds, you'll like this game (also less vague imo). Your "runs" are…”
“It's fun! We need more game with a cool idea and a reachable ending. There's way too much game out there and not enough time to play them all. This one is gonna give you exactly what you pay for and for exactly the…”

“I really really wanted to like this game but the dying and have to recut all that damn grass before I can actually engage with the story really kills it for me”

“I forgot to ever give this game a review - Grunn is a time-loop-based game where you have 2 days in a small area to do... something. It's very much a sandbox of hints and actions and items that lead to odd and…”

“Fun game with open ended story that looks jank and cheap on the surface but has a ton of depth that will surprise you as long as you enjoy experimenting and puzzles”

“Similar to my favourite game of all time (Outer WIlds) in the sense that progression happens through what you know. Definitely a game best played blind. Great game, worth a buy.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“I played Outer Wilds. If you have, you know this is a sign to turn back, stop reading reviews, and play the game fully blind. Without spoilers, this was a great cozy horror game. Dark ambience, creepy atmosphere, and sufficient jumpscares while maintaining a cute-ish art style.…”

But when he saw how cool, unique and full of surprises this game was, and that it was made by a single Dutch guy (he currently studies in the Netherlands himself), he got a bad…”
