This session will focus on Gris an Indie Puzzle-Platformer game that functions more as an interactive art-piece than just a game. It’s stunning visuals work to paint the picture of a young woman’s journey after losing a loved one. The grieving process is never easy, and this game does a wonderful job of expressing just how difficult it can really be. The discussion will focus on the narrative the game tells and the visuals it uses to achieve this.
