Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a traumatic experience in her life. Her journey of sadness is illustrated by her clothing, which gives her new abilities to move better from her dim reality. As the story unfolds, Gris matures emotionally and sees her world in a different way, revealing new paths that she learns using her new abilities.
GRIS is a quiet and exciting experience, free from danger, frustration, or death. Players will discover a meticulously designed world that brings life to life, with meticulous art, detail-packed animations, and elegant original pitch. And during the game, simple puzzles, platform sequences, and skill-based challenges reveal themselves as more of the Gris universe can be accessed.
GRIS is an experience with virtually no text, and only simple control reminders illustrated by generic icons. Anyone can enjoy the game regardless of the language they speak.
Very poetic, the game tells us the story of a young girl who, following difficulties (which we do not know) and a loss of voice, sees her (imaginary) world collapse.
After a difficult phase of acceptance, she sets out to try to restore it, by going in search of colors to repaint her universe.
In 2D, platform / puzzle game, no "life point / monster" to face, no game over. It's an exploration game that doesn't frustrate a single moment.
With a lifespan of about 3-4 hours, the time of 5 real chapters, the game charms us permanently.
We can think of a metaphor for grief or depression, and a way to move forward in the face of painful events.
The atmosphere of Gris makes us live beautiful emotions. For my part, what impressed me the most was the music, which I found extremely beautiful. The graphic paw is also unique, with its watercolors that appear as the adventure progresses. The desert atmosphere at the start of the game, associated with the girl's dress, can make you think of Journey, however this vague impression only lasts for the time of a level.
An optimistic young girl, haunted by a painful experience that shook her life, Gris has lost herself in the depths of a world she has created from scratch. Her journey through the twists and turns of grief is reflected in her dress, an ethereal garment giving her new abilities that will help her find her way into the heart of this blurred reality. Throughout the story, Gris evolves and experiences a range of different emotions. She then perceives her world in a whole new light and thus discovers unsuspected paths that her emerging capacities allow her to explore.
A serene and evocative experience, devoid of danger, frustration or death, GRIS invites you to explore a world designed with great attention to detail, a picturesque world that comes to life thanks to delicate visuals, in-depth animations and a soundtrack original of the most subtle. Throughout the game, light puzzles, a hint of platforming, and optional challenges (which will test your player reflexes) reveal themselves as the world of Gray opens up to you.
GRIS does not bother with long bloated texts: this dreamlike experience is only punctuated by simple reminders of the commands displayed as universal icons. Thus, you can let yourself be lulled by the chimerical atmosphere of the game, whatever your native language.
