- Players sensitive to flashing lights may need to avoid the game because it contains visual flashes that can cause epileptic seizures.
Our take on Night Grove
Players who need explicit explanations may bounce off when the story keeps reality and mysticism in tension. The likely sticking point is the investigation of Night Grove itself, where rumors, police visits, and the elderly resident offer conflicting interpretations.
What is Night Grove?
Night Grove is a first-person horror game built around walking-simulator gameplay.
A deliveryman accepts an unusual order that takes him to a hostel deep in the woods, a place surrounded by rumors about people abandoned by society. Players visit the building, encounter its unusual residents, and try to complete what appears to be a routine delivery. The story presents conflicting explanations involving local rumors, a nearby mental hospital, police visits, and a boundary between reality and mysticism. The game uses 3D sound and visual effects to create its atmosphere. It includes flashing lights that may cause epileptic seizures. The setting centers on a building with a troubled reputation and residents whose behavior has changed after visiting or living there.
