A picturesque platform adventure with a story focus

What makes the game so special? Gris is a fairly short but memorable experience. The emotional journey only lasts around 3 hours, but is accompanied by a unique watercolor look. The soundtrack also captures the mood of the game in a successful way.

A majority of players who have left a review of the game on Steam seem to be enthusiastic. Here are just a few examples that reflect the general tone:

  • Dmitry Komarov on Steam: “Gris is a visually stunning, introspective journey through grief, depicted with delicate watercolors and subtle animations. The game gently guides players through abstract landscapes that reflect the protagonist’s inner turmoil, combining minimalist design with a haunting soundtrack.”
  • TigerLily on Steam: “Gris is a visually stunning and emotionally captivating game that uses exquisite watercolor art and ambient sounds to create a unique experience.”

    • In terms of gameplay, Gris is a classic platform adventure. You move through 2D levels and solve puzzles in between to progress. The protagonist’s dress is also used here, which gives you new abilities over time.

    Anyone who is primarily looking for a playful challenge will probably not be happy with Gris. The protagonist cannot die and the level of difficulty of the platform sequences is also limited. In Gris the story is clearly in the foreground. The game could be a good choice, especially for fans of melancholic stories.

    How much does the game cost? Gris is currently available on Steam for just €1.47. This corresponds to a discount of 90%. However, this promotion is only valid until October 15, 2024.

    If you have a penchant for beautifully drawn platformers, you should definitely keep an eye on The Eternal Life of Goldman. The game relies on locations and animations that are completely hand-drawn. You can read more about it here: New game on Steam looks like a playable Studio Ghibli film, but dark
