Great God Grove
Way up high on a mountaintop sits the Grove, a realm peacefully inhabited by charismatic deities and their devoted human worshippers. That was, until the pantheon's King began spreading insults and disinformation. Now the gods and their followers have devolved into bickering and fighting! In Great God Grove, players assume the role of Godpoke, the mail carrier for this fractured pantheon. Creatively deliver messages and set the story straight... before the apocalypse consumes us all!

If you enjoy puzzle games, the works of Double Fine or Undertale, you’ll find a lot to love in Great God Grove. - One of the stranger elements of Great God Grove is a small dark animal that ominously follows you through each area.

Great God Grove brims with charm and originality, offering a fresh take on word puzzles and gods among people. Its offbeat humour and playful design will draw you in, but clunky mechanics and a fairly straightforward narrative may leave you wanting more cohesion and polish. With a little more divine intervention, Great God Grove’s quirky moments might have ascended to a truly special adventure.

There’s so much to love about Great God Grove. It’s the perfect example of a handcrafted game through and through, from its striking art style, strange lexicon, brilliant vacuum-based puzzle-solving, and haunting puppet work. There are several important messages to decipher in its surrealism. The game has a lot to say about deviation, power, art, censorship, and how it feels being a loser with no discernable life direction. It's like a kid’s show with an important message at its core, like if Sesame Street wanted to teach you about the manipulative pitfalls of idol worship. In this strange world, even gods fear being forgotten, but GGG won't have that problem as it's hands down one of the boldest games of 2024.
