CompareOne night The Grandfather went to give his wife a good night kiss, she ignored him as usual, this broke his heart every night. He went to sleep in his own bed, full of misery as usual, but this night would turn out to be different than the others.

This game was so disturbing, but in a sad, familiar way that made me want to cry. Genuinely a work of art. HIGHLY recommend.

The game is difficult to review because it contains a great deal of intentional unpleasantness. In a way, that's the point. Your character was not a happy man, and this is a dark moment. Several design choices are structured to make you uncomfortable. The whispery narration volume forces you to strain to hear it over the jarring background sounds. Background images subtly shake out of sync with foreground...

I'm not the kind of person that's going to debate whether or not something is art. To me art is simply human expression, which leaves the door open for just about anything to qualify for interpretation and criticism. That's not to say I'm going to be kind to a blank canvas with a dot on it or fifteen minutes of metal scraping; I acknowledge these works as art but I judge them to be poor examples of it. And that...

I was really hyped about this game. I was even more hyped when the developer gave me a key to beta test the game. The art looked (and still looks) fantastic and creepy. It is a very unique game but feels a bit too amateur. It is really short, 20 minutes maximum, and still those minutes are filled with meaningless explorations. The narration is interesting, but its volume is so low that you will be literaly struggling...

The Grandfather is a short puzzle game that will most likely last you 30-45 minutes. First of all, the narrators voice is way to low, she is almost barely audible the first time you hear her. I suggest getting this fixed. Let it be known that this was the only issue in the game, I did not encounter any other bugs or issues so it's definetly a stable and well made game. The Grandfather is a wonderfully illustrated...

This game does not impress me. The creator has forgotten Hearing impaired, hard of hearing and deaf people. There was no captions at all and I had no idea what I was supposed to do! And I am a seasoned adventure game player! The game creator really should have put captions in, as not doing so discriminates Deaf people from being able to play the game that we spent the money on, therefore wasting our money on...

I picked this up because it reminded me of "The Cat Lady" and "Downfall" which are two games I really enjoyed. This game shares a similar atmosphere with a dark narrative and a gritty art style. The story is decent, and the puzzles are fairly challenging, but only because they lack intuition. My only complaint is the game is extremely short (I beat it in a half an hour). But in any event, it's pretty good if you are...

The Grandfather is a game which is hard to review, because of how weird it is. Story: You play as an Old Man. You live with your wife, who is a cold and bitter person, that never loved you and the story follows on her coldness towards her husband. That is the basic gist of the story and it basically follows on the Old Mans feelings and how he deals with the situation. It's definitely some messed up stuff and...

I only had one grandfather in my life...and he was an *sshole... I've honestly been debating whether I should redeem that key I had to The Grandfather for over a year now...but it seems the developer made my decision super easy by making his games free as of July 2018 (whether this is permanent or temporary, I have no idea). It's a short game that's about 20-30 minutes long, but is it worth your time? The...

Artistic would be the word, I suppose, and art is a very personal thing. So maybe that’s why the reviews are 50/50 as they stand right now. I was a little sceptical going into this as the reviews aren’t the best but I thought I’d try it despite that fact as I quite like other games David Szymanski has worked on and I’m quite open to odd games. Honestly, in my opinion it’s not as bad as the current “overall” score...
