    If you would like to play a short, beautiful, hand-animated platformer where comforting your dog is a gameplay mechanic, then may I recommend Neva. Also not 100% sure you’d call it a dog. Maybe a Wolfalope?

    We once thought GRIS would be our one and only small video game, and yet here we are. It’s been six years since its release, and now we’ve just launched our second game, NEVA. We’re very proud of what we’ve accomplished and so grateful to all the players who made this possible🤍

    TL;DR: 9.5/10 game, Gris fans will adore it. But you should go in with an open mind and readjust your understanding of what defines a game. And the price to content ratio is a bit rough, even if the quality makes up for it. Let's just start off by addressing the negative reviews you will see here. I understand why they exist, but I think they were expecting this game to be something the game never claimed it would be. If your idea of a game is something that requires a challenge, something…
