Thank you to everyone for the lovely comments! Gris is a beautiful and meaningful game that I hope gets the recognition it deserves ♥️

Im glad I’m not alone in experience this game in the same way. I’m not even this far along, but the game’s ability to capture how depression feels, made me cry. I lost my dad when i was 21, and never dealt with it because of toxic masculinity. Now I’m at a stage I’m my life, that all those wounds are coming undone, and I’m finally being forced to face my darkness. This game couldn’t have come at a better time. 💜 thanks for sharing a vulnerable moment with us.

From a visual and gameplay perspective, this game kinda reminds me of Journey. It's simplistic, but does a good job at sending a message!

As a person suffering from depression and grieving from the recent passing of my grandfather, and losing a friend, I felt this is so much more than just a game. It's such a powerful game and I sincerely thank you for playing the game as I couldn't afford it yet. Thank you once again! =)

Hi ! It has actually been explained that Gris is a game representing the different stages of grief, each level and colour being associated to one of them. The statue you keep reconstructing is in fact, the image of your mother who passed, and the darkness surrounding you is supposed to be representing acceptance. During the whole grieving process, starting with Denial (the first scene where your character falls after failing to maintain a representation of her deceased parent) you avoid acceptance, because it'll mean your loved one is truly gone. It is scary, terrifying and like juming into an unknown world. The game ends with acceptance as you accept the passing of your parent, thus being now able to maintain the image and memory of your mother without pain or hardship, but with joy and fondness, this memory and representation of her now ever so present in lie to guide you onwards. The tomb you pass is her's by the way. This is also confirmed by the existence of a hidden bonus scene that can be found during one of the levels, showing the main character with their mother. I'm so glad you liked the game !

Based off the game is the death of GRIS's mother and in the end learns to except her death and goes to moving on and living life. But what made ME cry was GRIS reminded me of myself. I lost 2 people in my life and it was very hard to get over their deaths but I realized that crying for their deaths forever and not excepting that they are gone will only make you feel empty and depressed and the people you loved that were by your side would want you to move on and live life to the fullest. That's why it reminds me of myself (Dammit I'm crying again)

This final it's so beautiful.

I cried too, someone never touched me as much as Gris

I appreciated seeing your reaction to Gris a lot. I just finished the game myself the other day and came to KZfaq searching for other people who felt as strongly about it as I do. I lost my dad when I was in my early 20s, so Gris hit me hard. The way she had to find her voice again is so relatable. How she becomes like a stone to weather the storms of anger but then uses that hardness as a tool to break free later on, and especially the experience of running from and facing off with a primal darkness that can move faster and scream louder. She's trying to put the ruins of her world back together and right side up again. Wow. I've never played a game quite like it, and I'm happy to see it hit others as deep as it hit me. (Proptip: There is a hidden achievement in each level that is named after the stage of grief that the level represents).

This is one of those few video games that stick with me. There’s this magic and storytelling that keeps me thinking about it.

6:40 That teardrop falling got me in tears. Such a beautiful ending...

What a lovely reaction to a beautiful game. I can't get through the ending without crying, and I've played through it like 10 times.

I love your reaction.... I cried so hard when I saw the ending first time

Any other grown men almost break down and weep at the end? Played it a second time and barely managed to keep my composure at the end this time.

I've seen many reactions to the endgame and I think that the ones that we've been through many tough times we are the ones that cry with this reflexion at the end of the game. Our mind the worst weapon against us.

It's nice to see such a genuine reaction to something on KZfaq. Thank you. Your appreciation for this game and its developers is another rarity in itself, youtube needs more people like you.

Just thanks for playing this game Love from India!

i love your reaction.. it was like me ..tears pain and lot of unexplained emotions.. and it’s reminds me with depression also like you did say .. thanks for the video

Loved yout reaction. Truly genuine. I do plan in making a video about the psychology aspects of Gris soon.

True masterpiece

Such a cool game.Great vid.

You so right for feel that, an incredible game!

Don't apologise for publishing a shorter video, your reaction is worth every longer ones. Spontaneous, pure emotion, is way more touching than 10 or 20 minutes more :-)

I cried too man It really hitted me hard

A very emotional ending but what touched me was your reaction.

Nice reaction ✌️

If you're still wondering, The music was by a band called Berlinist. They also did the music for a puzzle game called Moncage (which I bought purely on the strength of this game's soundtrack).

It is very cute

Pretty cool video, this game looks interesting.

Its not herself, The Statue does not look precisely like her, notice the longer hair, and no freckles. It's her mother dear! Find the Hidden scene and you'll know. lol.

I’ve never seen this game before but wow it’s so pretty! I love your personality and commentary. You also have a nice accent lol! Where are you from?

Journey, Abzu, Celeste, Gris,....

love in Russia.
