GRIS
GRIS is an indie narrative platformer from Nomada Studio (published by Devolver Digital) that follows a young girl processing grief and emotional recovery. The game is entirely free of combat, danger or death, instead focusing on exploration, light puzzle-solving and platforming within a hand-painted watercolour world. As the player progresses, the protagonist gains new abilities tied to emotional growth, gradually restoring colour and life to her faded surroundings. The game features minimal dialogue, relying on universal visual cues and an original orchestral score to convey its emotional journey. GRIS was released in late 2018 across multiple platforms.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionGRIS shipped natively for Apple Silicon at or shortly after the M1 Mac launch in late 2020, as confirmed by the AppleGamingWiki and Steam's storefront. If you are running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, simply update through Steam (the regular store page will serve the native build on M-series Macs) or re-download directly from the developer's website — no special beta channel or opt-in is needed. After updating, you will see improved performance and battery life compared to the Rosetta build. The native version is the default download, so a fresh install or Steam update will automatically get you there.
