Game #905: Gris

  Girl's feeling blue.

  As someone who really used to like the Knytt games, Gris was right up my alley. Not a Metroidvania, but a short, linear platform adventure with a captivating water-color art style joined with a simple minimalistic aesthetic makes for pure eye candy.

As with most indie games of its ilk, the game focuses on conveying emotions rather than a plot, with not a single text line spoken by anyone.

 While most puzzles were pretty simple, some had my noggin' joggin', but nothing I couldn't solve after a few attempts.

 The game lasts 2 hours, so it's very short and sweet. I can't say the game's themes of depression and sadness resonated with me, and I'm someone that loves sad stuff, but playing the game itself was good enough for me.
