Grotto is an adventure Game developed by Brainwash Gang and published by Digerati. The title was released for PC on the Steam platform. It is a 2D pixel art Game in a beautiful, mysterious underwater world.

Gameplay

Grotto is an exploration-based Game where the player controls a friendly jellyfish-like creature called a 'jell', whose primary objective is to find and rescue others trapped or lost in the vast underwater world. To achieve this, the player must navigate the environment, interact with different creatures, and solve puzzles to progress. The Game features a day-night cycle that affects the environment and the creatures' behaviour. During the day, most animals are docile and friendly, while at night, they become more aggressive and dangerous. The player must plan their movements to avoid danger and complete the Game's objectives.

Story

Grotto is not explicitly told but is implied through the environment and interactions with other creatures. The player starts as a solitary jell in a world of diverse sea creatures. As the player progresses, they encounter other jells that need help, and the player's main objective is to find and rescue these lost jell. The player discovers a mysterious and beautiful underwater world of secrets and hidden areas throughout the Game. The story is open to interpretation, and the player can make assumptions about the backstory and the world's lore.
