The Grim Ending

[b]the grim ending[/b] is a ~1.5-hour 3rd-person point & click adventure. it looks and feels like the classics, with commands like [i]look at[/i], [i]take[/i], etc. none of the modern-day conveniences of simply clicking stuff to examine or pick up, or double-click to move faster, but right click cycles through available commands. it's [b]fully and badly voiced[/b] (removing all the annoying noises would improve things considerably) and lets you [b]save manually anytime, but initially only over a single slot[/b]. you know, unlike games from 30 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years ago with as many saves as you wanted. there are [b]multiple endings[/b] based on decisions, which made the single save slot even worse, but [b]5 additional slots got patched in after this review got posted[/b]. the story involves the main character waking up in hell. the boss is annoying as hell as well and the horrible voiceovers don't help. you're tasked with taking pictures of stuff, which in turn makes them disappear. I guess that's one way to clean up all the colors and living things on a gray landscape that is the land of the dead. eventually you start to wise up and can decide how to go about certain things. with multipl…

I bought this game over winter sales along with maaany other "mini-games" and I didn't had many expectations for it.. I liked the funny "devil" voice in the video and the design of Grimmy, so I went for it.. Oh was I surprised! It really is a hidden gem! It's fast to complete a run but it does have multiple endings so you'll find yourself wanting to go back and discover more. The music is amazing, as well as, the art of the game. I didn't encounter bugs with the game. The story is simple, but also very complicated and your fantasy will run wild. The puzzles initially seem easy (and they are), but if you want to discover everything, you'll come to realize you reeeally need to get your mind to work on alternatives. As far as voice acting goes, it fits perfectly to the atmosphere and the characters. All in all, I would say you need about 1h for your first run and 4-5h to complete every possible ending (without a guide) as, even if you do the initial sections very fast or use the 1 save slot (my only "complaint" so far), you'll still need to think hard over your next steps. Great concept and execution! I wish more new point and click games were like this one. Original game with kno…

The Grim Ending is a pretty impressive hidden gem. It always surprises me when small indie games have full voice acting, especially when it's done this well. This game isn't necessarily ground-breaking or anything, but it's still a pretty good point-and-click adventure. The abstract and mostly barren atmosphere is strongly reminiscent of Salad Fingers, but the game doesn't carry the same creepiness factor along with it. It may touch on a few dark topics, but it doesn't take it to the extreme. One complaint I have about the game is that there's only one save slot. Normally this wouldn't bother me at all, but the game has multiple endings, and from my understanding of the 'choices matter' elements, you would need to start the game roughly from the beginning to get some of the possible results instead of reloading an earlier save. This is a minor detail though, and it doesn't really take away from what the game actually is. Plus, the game will generally take around an hour to complete on your first playthrough, so replaying it to the end to see everything the game has to offer doesn't feel like some huge chore. It's mainly just a tad droning due to the fact that point-and-click ga…

A minimal point n click adventure that is dead linear, has some story and low production value. Besides its shortcomings it has some idiotic charm that keeps you playing it.

I love Grimmy's voice and slightly sarcastic tone. Hahaha! So cute and fun.

I really like this game, it's not expensive but enjoyable to play. I wish it had a hint system as some puzzles seem to elude me!
