Launch Window“We live in the most important era for communication. Words have never had so much power as they have now. It's possible to ruin people's lives with a few incriminating words, be them from themselves or someone who lives with them. Great God Grove conveys this zeitgeist we're living in, aligned with a very charming story and an impeccable presentation. It's a necessary and crazy game for the insane days we've been watching. Sometimes, the divine drama needs intervention from a nobody to solve the mess, the opposite of a deus ex machina. Even with the language barrier [of it not being available in Portuguese], it's a unique and fun narrative to see and experience.”

Early Review“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.”
