GRIS follows a young girl who is in a world of her own, following a painful experience in her real life. It is through exploring this world that she comes to address her emotions, which opens up new paths along with her dress manifesting abilities to aid her progression. Being a narrative experience, there is little cause for frustration as there is no risk of death or danger, unless you cannot figure out the solution to a puzzle. There are also some secrets you can find by exploring a bit off of the path and doing some careful platforming.
