Gorgeous puzzle-platformer Gris gets a December release date

GRIS

Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress, which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality.

Developer Nomada Studio has announced that its beautiful puzzle-platformer Gris will be making its way to PC and Switch on December 13th.

Gris tells the story of a young girl (the Gris of the title) who becomes lost in a world of her own making as she deals with a traumatic event in her life. "Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress," explains Nomada, "which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality. As the story unfolds, Gris will grow emotionally and see her world in a different way, revealing new paths to explore using her new abilities."

Gris is described as a "serene and evocative experience", and combines gentle side-scrolling exploration and puzzling with more challenging platform-style segments. There's also a touch of Journey about its quiet ambience, and Eurogamer's Martin Robinson was rather taken with the game's charms when he explored it earlier this year.
