Staggering sound direction. Chilling visual design. The tense, dynamic gameplay pulls it all together in this enthralling masterpiece that's tinted with an astute and touching atmosphere of nostalgia and ancient wisdom that casts a wavering but irrepressible light on both the intrinsic darkness of the human heart and the ferocious survival instinct.
Through subtle and gripping symbolism, Grandma Crossing tells a poignant and tragic, yet genuine and empowering tale of those left behind—the very pillars of our society.
The combination of fervent narrative and hardcore gameplay had me holding my breath and crying in agony throughout my brief playtime. A ruthless and heart-wrenching game. A clear turning point for the video game industry, though I have some concerns it may be rejected by the wider audience for its brutal difficulty and sombre themes.
