apple arcade added Gris, an amazing game about healing from painful experiences, to its catalog of games on Friday. Apple Arcade subscribers can check out Gray at no additional cost. Alternatively, you can find Gris in the App Store for a one-time payment of $5.
The game opens with a young girl, Gris, who has suffered a heartbreak and lost her voice. She begins to wander in a colorless world of ruins. Along the way, she learns new skills and begins to heal. Skills manifest in Grey’s robe, which becomes an important tool for completing levels. You can’t die in the game, making perseverance and patience constant themes. The game dives into symbolism with its use of environments, colors, obstacles and more, which leaves much of the game open to your interpretation.
A soothing soundtrack fades into quiet moments, where all you hear is Gray’s footsteps and the whisper of the wind. The game also plays on color, alternating between austere wastelands, sun-drenched temples and lush forests.
