A gardener gets hired for maintenance work over the weekend. A simple task, but strangely some tools are missing… The owner of the garden isn't around, and their house is off-limits. Perhaps new tools can be found in the mysterious town, or maybe some of the reserved townsfolk have seen them?

What players say
If you're in the subset of gamers that enjoys horror and adventure-puzzle games, Grunn is excellent. There's nothing quite like it. Go in blind. When I rolled credits on Outer Wilds, it left an insatiable hole in my soul that Grunn did its best to feed for 5.6 hours.
not really my cup of tea. the atmosphere and the creepy setting are cool, but i really don't like having to repeat the same tasks and puzzles over and over again just to unlock different endings*. i prefer games where the story actually moves forward instead of constantly starting over from the beginning. that's just not my personal taste. *edit: the "multiple endings" are mostly just ways to die. getting crushed by...
