UK based composer Ed Watkins has bestowed upon our mere mortals this beautiful soundtrack. It has "GRUNND" written all over it. Ed, I am so happy we have met. I could even call you Sir Edward for such a great job and understanding. Click here to get right to it! As a developer of GRUNND, I have to say - this Soundtrack has a better build quality - no bugs, no glitches. I dedicate this release t…
Worked on: - some visual glitches here and there; - edited triggers in the Farm Interior to maybe ensure better trigger of Narrator's lines, but that was caused by different reasons in the end, so I am mentioning this here for no reason really; - added TicketMaster and OldHag to overall NPC Master Sound group - they were gone rogue upon setup; - corrected the behavior of new SaveGame slots - no…
A broadcast about music, visuals and inspiration will be live the whole week! P.S. We have a heavy snowfall today and it plays with my mobile interwebs and, thus, the stream - apologies for that.
Many of you have enjoyed in-game soundscape composed by marvelous Ed Watkins. And, trust me, you can listen it as a separate thing very well. I know I do! Thus the fork on music compilation have begun. No dates yet. Also, the ArtBook! Great visuals accompanied with Protagonist's notes about his journey. Some secrets might be revealed. Well, maybe at least, made cleared. And - yes - all yer regu…
A lot of lessons learned. And I am more than confident that second part of the Trilogy will be bigger and better. Less hick-ups, more atmosphere, story and, well, mystery. One of the things publishers look on are the reviews. I am so, SO thankful for reviews already left - they are amazing, lovely and I am giving high-five to every one of the authors . Unfortunately it's a number game and the m…
This build got updates in following areas: - Ending plays! Even more fixes for that bas**** to show up. Now it does; - Some unneeded ParticleSystems do not show up anymore; - some triggers modified to shoot only once; - various corrections within levels regarding placement of some objects ; - addressed correct turn of Hero ; - couple lines triggered incorrectly - fixed; - map updates with missi…
I was not sure whether GRUNND needs it. But in the end I decided YES. With this update GRUNND gets an option to manually Save and Load games via two optional slots. There will be always an AutoSave - it will not go anywhere, but this extra flexibility, if you needed one, will make playing GRUNND more enjoyable. Also updated Ending a bit, and some small fixes I don't even remember. Should've wri…
Good day! Hot from the presses - GRUNND is getting updated with latest fixes. - a particular Map piece will not show too fast; - Ending Titles will show up properly - there were instances Narrator doesn't tell you what happened to each of the characters and Hero himself; - improved Variables of ending dialogue; - improved "hotspots" in some occasions to make clicking on them easier ; - targetFr…

...a brand new Livestream just for this. I will play through our Demo and, as always, ramble again. Also I will be wearing a seriously smart hat. Seriously. Join us on October 15th, 12:00 PM EDT .
It's been a tough week. But it works! The new Demo Update, just for the SteamNextFest, features a brand new Pause Menu - now you can experience the thing, that is much closer to it's final state. - A beautiful map to reveal! - Follow Quests; - See the Inventory and read up on items you've got. We do have a minor setback as well - controller does not work in Main Menu. But it will be fixed. With…
GRUNND's first ever LIVE Stream. I hope you'll come and keep up a conversation, as I am bad at those! We will play through the Demo and I will make stops just to ramble about relevant stuff you see. - Olafs
Let's keep it short. We successfully reached the Kickstarters goal. Thank you all who supported GRUNND and gave it a start. A start of the road past the Demo, which was so lovingly created. And by "lovingly" I mean "with love and dedication, despite so many hurdles and mountain of new grey hair". The fast was, that the Kickstarter funding was not enough to deliver the game in it's fullest. Yes…
We'll go and play GRUNND's Demo while Olafs Osh is rumbling about all connected things and throws in some amazing news, which will make every fan happy. Do join me and ask questions, because I am bad at public speeches and/or appearances. - Olafs
Your favorite fusion between Dark Mystery and Science Fiction needs your support - we are on 79% mark in our Kickstarter and things are getting scary. We have multiple huge updates! We have added a physical ArtBook as an add-on. Announced Collector's Edition with BRONZE statue as it's main attraction. Yes, bronze! Also, there as well - do read upon GRUNND Soundscape ! I tried to be as professio…
Hello there! It's Olafs from GRUNND. Aaaaand.... we have lauched our Kickstarter campaign! Our ffusion between dark mystery and science fiction, hopefully, won't end here, but we need every little bit of support we can get. I surely hope you will find the time to look at it, have a gander on what's new there and back us. As this is it... We have reworked rewards to be less messy. There were jus…
Allright! First things first! We have less than ten days left on our Kickstarter and, if there won't be any miracles, it seems that we will not get funded. Not the thing you expect when pressing the "Publish" button, I can tell you that! So, please, if you have not yet backed us - do so! You will not be disappointed. The rewards are amazing and pretty strongly geared towards you being able to f…
