GRUNND

Love the eerieness and pressuring atmosphere this game brings. A bit slow but perfect for a rainy nights gaming when you want something dark and mysterious! Great to see some new point and click games hitting the market!

I don't get this game. It looks fantastic, but I've no idea what's going on. Don't really care anymore, either. To give credit where credit is due, stylistically, this game is stunning. I bought it because of the artwork. Almost every shot could be a painting on your wall. A dark noir aesthetic with clean, sharp lines is right up my alley. Now let's get to why I don't recommend this game. There were no characters or character interactions that seemed unique or worth exploring further. Everything was confusing and nonsensical in terms of storytelling. It's like I was in a fever dream, and I don't mean it in an intriguing I-am-confused-but-curious way. I gave GRUNND a shot, and I wasn't having fun. That would be a no for me.

Sometimes you bump into games that touches something deeper inside you. There is something special there that you have a hard time to put your finger on and GRUNND is such a game. The game is a point-and-click game, not in a sense of Monkey Island and puzzle-game like that, but more of a interactive story. The story itself has the same feelings as Silent Hill. You wake up in Blytown after oversleeping on the train. The town itself have a very eery feeling. Something is wrong here and you want to find out what it is, something that maybe even have to do with yourself? I wont spoil anything more, but I do recommend playing this little piece of gem if you want something out of the ordinary. It is simple game but with a very well written story.

Really enjoyed playing this spooky and disturbing game! It really was different from anything I've played before. While the characters and storyline is very odd, you slowly piece together the story as you go along. I appreciate that you are given an ever so subtle hint that game isn't completely linear and understanding will be revealed as you progress, so just 'go with the flow'. There are a few audio bugs with dialog and the ending did glitch out, so hopefully the devs will be able to fix that hiccup. Even with those few things that need fixing, I loved the game and look forward to their next project!

We follow a strange dreamlike adventure with our protagonist "Hero" as the events unfolds as we try to figure out where we are and how to get back to the city. This game plays out alot as a visual novel more than a point and click game due to its linear progression. I do recommend this game however it might need some polishing and bugfixing for a smooth ride! + Pros I like the colour scheme, the artstyle and the music is also a great addition to the overall atmosphere of the game. most of the voice acting was good, mainly the narrator did a great job. Since the game was very linear it was cozy to play through in one sitting if invested to the story, like a sort of interactive movie. - Cons FPS drops / stuttering animations I dislike some of the narrative / quirks that NPC's use when talking, overusing the words, mate / friend / man / kid etc. Some of the voice acting didn't feel fleshed out mainly Yannick. Some dialogue options are misspelled use incorrect grammar which in itself shouldn't be that big of a issue, but when the games main focus derives from its story-telling and immersion it becomes more impactful. Interaction orbs tend to linger after they no longer are interactable, e.g: the man in the melancholic man in the beginning that disappears after certain events interactive orb is still there but nothing happens when you try to interact with it. The navigation or rather the movement of the game feels like padding, the character moves slowly and the animations are kept to a minimum due to the artstyle making the pace of the games slower than what it has to be. Objects respawning when backtracking - Ticket in the cylinder / Comic book in the cylinder. I got to the end being able to choose a few outcomes however it ended up with the game ending up in a crash loop not letting me watch the end only turning me back to the title screen. If i try to "continue" it loops me back to the title screen again. - unfortunate, but i'll wait for a patch to see if it fixes the bug so that i can watch my chosen ending.

Ruhiges, kurzes Spiel mit faszinierender Atmosphäre. Die Geschichte(n) gut, die Spielmechanik etwas langsam, repetitiv und manchmal auch bockig in der Steuerung. Definitiv kein Point´n´click, sondern eher eine Visual Novel. Jedoch mit gutem Kartensystem und zwei oder drei "Rätseln". Man muss sich darauf einlassen können, dann bietet es viel für gute zwei Stunden.

so boring. also buggy, like character walks behind buildings and reappears on the other side. new scene fades in and character is walking in place, facing dead-end direction. translations are bad, voice actors are flat. disappointing.
