I have not reviewed for a while, but I thought, hey let's have a look at grouvee again. I've played some games, let's write some words. This one I bought because it looked like an interesting puzzlegame, it was ok I guess.
Narrative
I think I am a lonely person who is trying to frankenstein a friend. Honestly not sure, cause the game is a bit odd and not quite clear with the intentions. But I am finding organs and bones all over town, so I think that's it.
Gameplay
You explore, sidescrolling-ly, a town. You can enter buildings and click stuff outside. Inside the buildings are little puzzles, and when you complete all puzzles of a building you will get a bone or an organ for your Frankstein's monster.
The puzzles ranged from super easy to "wtf is going on". But mostly on the easy side of things.
Setting
You are in a small town consisting of a few screens of side scrolling. You can enter things like bakeries but also people's houses, and there is some outside things to explore as well. The art style is quite nice, I liked it. Music, not memorable. Style, meaning more the fact that all people are like bones, and seem to be deer skulls, was interesting.
Other
Very very short.
Conclusion
I think it only took me a bit over an hour to finish it. As said before the puzzles were mostly very easy. The setting with the weird bone people, while interesting, did not really do it for me. I thought the story would have been a bit more exciting as I expected with a style like this, but it was not really that involved. In the end I don't think I will give this more than 3 stars. Enjoyable, but not amazing. Get it on sale if you like puzzles, like I did.
