@Oh Dahng boi Pretty sure Gris is the one grieving,that's the whole point of the game. I was thinking maybe Gris found a memento of her mother,like a picture,or a recording of her singing that song,and this last memory of her mother helped her get over her grief,accept it and move on.
indeed! When I played this game I did not see reunion too! Especially after hidden pic in the game. Here it is i.ytimg.com/vi/6vSP4a9NeUI/maxresdefault.jpg For me there were two sisters (or child and mother). One's died, and other was broken so much, was in deep depression. And the soul of the dead was helping to the broken soul in depression to recover from the pain. and yeah, it was more goodbye. She helped to alive person to rebuilt her inner world after the lost, kissed her and left her, going to the heaven. This is how I saw this story. If it was reunion, she would not leave, she become one with statue, in my own opinion
Gris was the last game my girlfriend and I played together before she got hit by a car, a day before New Years. We downloaded it on the Switch, and played through it all in one session. At the time, I was a little cynical of its platforming and message. I thought the ending was nice, and it portrayed a good image of what inner conflict is like. She teared up and got emotional, and of course I poked fun at her for it. Now she's gone, and she's never coming back. Seeing this ending again, I see my girlfriend as this young woman. The more I look at it, the more this looks like a story of accepting grief, or coping for loss. I can't help but picture my lost love as the protagonist now. She too was a beautiful singer. It really hurts my heart to watch this ending, but it holds a special meaning to me now, when it once meant nearly nothing.
we all lose people as time goes on. it is inevitable. but what is important is that we love those around us because one day we will part, and yet, eventually be reunited in the world after. in loss we are pained, but that pain is what gave what was loss its meaning, both before and after. i am sorry for your loss. i hope her love lives on in you forever.
Okay so I know how everyone talks about 4:10 being the most emotional,and yes I agree that’s where my eye start tearing up, but it’s when the drums and the rest of the music bust in by 4:37 is the part where I can’t stop myself from crying. It’s the combination of the singing and the instruments and the colors being restored to the world that just makes those few seconds so powerful that it overwhelms you and you can’t hold your tears back, you just let them flow out.
My mom died almost two years ago. Before this ending happened I expected the statue to be her mother. But, my God, I was not expecting such a gut punch. The scene plus the music was too much for me. I bawled for five minutes after the game ended, just thinking about my mother. I am so glad I bought this; well worth the money.
The beauty of art is that it leaves a lot of room for personal interpretation, everyone is allowed to feel and read it in whichever way suits them, there is no right nor wrong. To me, this is grief, transcending through all stages of grief, of letting go of your former hurting self, killing your sorrow, and ascending inti acceptance, when grief becomes a memory. But this is why this is such a piece of art, we all can see it in such different ways.
This game is an absolute masterpiece. Too bad most of the people inside the community of "gaming journalists" are unable to understand its pourpose and message .
It's like Gris gave her a kissed goodbye... Then the lady statue moved her hand to the tower, giving a bridge to Gris. And when she walked away up to the stars and the sky, she is liked moving forward. The game is like, letting it go and move forward.
For those who watched the secret cutscene: My theory is that the mother isn’t the one who has passed. But instead Gris. Gris is trapped in the recesses of her mother’s mind, hence the black miasma trying to make her stay. This explains the statues that show the same woman grieving in other arcs. She doesn’t want to let her daughter go. But her duet with Gris at the end is what “pulls her back together”. The stars throughout the game represent memories in some way. Which explains why the statue cries at the end and why Gris is seen ascending the stars. The memories will still remain with her even though Gris is gone.
Nice idea, I think it could totally be valid. But all those symbols work perfectly both ways - either if mother was the one, who passed away or Gris. Those statues - I thought about them a lot - they make sense as depictions of the mother grieving over a child, but just as well in the case if the mother has died. See, we don't know the reason, if the death wasn't sudden, if it was due to some illness, statues could be memories of Gris of her mother, struggling to accept the inevitable. And so now Gris (in a mourning dress) has to accept it as well. As for the black miasma, I think it is a manifestation of her suffering, just as her dress is. Both are, in my view, are sides of the same coin. Loss has the potential to make a person stronger, to make them more adaptable, or to destruct them. So maybe when a demon takes the face of Gris, it indicates this force of self-destruction that gets over her.
@@poppypollen4362 it is a good story in that regard. it can go in both ways. could be a girl trying to overcome her mother's death, or the mother's mind shattering from grief, as her memory of her daughter struggles to rebuild her. the miasma seems to be wrathful and possessive. it wants to keep gris from progressing no matter what. and the shadows of its being seem ot move somewhat like gris' dress too. could be gris' grief, or the form gris has taken in her mother's broken mind as she is overcome with resentment. the stage of anger can lead to one blaming the departed for leaving them, however irrational or selfish it is.
The problem that I have with this theory is the beginning. Is the statue that is already shattered from the beginning and is just when the statue "stops singing" that it starts to break and at that moment the girl loses her voice and the explosion throws her in that grey world. Is not something that happens to the child. Also, in the "Negation" scene, we clearly see how is the statue who lie on the ground... And don't forget the "Acceptance" scene, where is the statue who is in a coffin surrounded with flowers... if that is not "acceptance of the death of a loved one" I don't know what another thing can means... Also, the Black color that absorbs all the colors has the child's face and is the only thing in that dream that doesn't want you to continue, and to let you always in pain. It seems for me more the 5 steps of grief of a child who loses her mother in an illness as the other guys say, because of the other way... I don't know how to explain the things I said. Also, the statue doesn't seem not even when is colored.
It's not herself, it was a loved one, either she lost her mother, big sister or best friend. Theres an easter egg video you can find in this game. Suite beautiful yet saddening...
@@youssefa.2251 I think she lost her mother. However...thinking about it backwards, what if the girl was the one who died by committing suicide and the broken statue pieces resembled her mother being broken hearted? In the game play theres statues of that woman in poses that look like she is grieving. Then at the end, she is letting her go into the stars to Heaven. Thats IF it was backwards. I guess there are a lot of ways to look at this.
@@jjspade81 That's genius! It could've been a great plot twist. But the story description did confirm it is about a hopeful girl, the peotagonist. Still gotta say it was very creative ;)
@@youssefa.2251 Thank you. It very well could have been the mother who died as I thought before. Then it would makes sense that the mother suffered from depression from the poses it shows, and committing suicide when it shows her lying down at the end. The only thing that they confused me on was the very end where she was the one who went into the sky and walking on stars.
@@jjspade81 I think it's a way of telling that the girl finally was able to move on from the grief she suffered of losing her loved one. Because she always seemed to be drawn to the palm of her loved one's hand, not wanting to let go.
Here is my idea of the story. The giant statue is Gris herself, a young woman in depression, possibly after suicide attempt (that's why she is so broken). The little girl symbolises "childish" part of her soul, the one that represents dreams, desire to live and be happy, and it also contains her most treasured memories. The little girls tries to show Gris all the colours of the world, how beautiful the world is, also tries to wake her up with a beautiful song. The bird, the fish and the ugly face in the end symbolise depression. They want to kill the little girl and therefore kill Gris. But in the end the girl managed to wake Gris up. That moment when the girl kissed the statue and it shed a tear symbolised that Gris no longer hated herself, she began to love herself and see all the beauty of life. And in the end the little girl walked away, because she was no longer needed: Gris was already recovering.
I really like this interpretation, but the chapters are named after the well-known five stages of grief, all but confirming that this is about the loss of a loved one, most likely the main character's mother. This is reinforced by the theming and mechanics of each chapter, which tie in very well with the associated stage of grief.
@@Reach_W So it means that the statue is her mother, right? And the world being restored and GRIS kissing the statue mean her accepting her loss. Therefore her walking up on the stars in the light means that she woke up to the real world getting past everything she went through.
The statues are shown to be her mother in an Easter egg. This means that Gris is most likely dead. You play as the memory of Gris in her mother’s mind. You get to see the statues of her mother’s grief and each achievement is named after the stages of her mother’s loss.
yeah I believe it is the other way around Gris is dead and the mother finally accepted her death and let go of her at the end, the statue is the mother going through the 5 stages of grief. the statue is the one that cries at the end and Gris ascends to heaven.
Like what the creator said, it's based on your interpretation, and I think the lesbian thing fits too, love doesn't know age, or that's what I think it is called
I haven't known this game until youtube recommended this video today. This really makes me emotional. Especially this part 4:01 - 4:14, it reminds me on the exact moment I tried to kill myself before but a sudden idea occurred, telling me to help other people suffering the same as mine. So I stopped my architecture course and started psychology. Now I have a degree of it and hopefully I'll become a psychologist, or a researcher for mental health... Kudos youtube for recommending this video to me... Sorry for my grammar. English is my third language so I kinda make mistakes...
I see why people think Gris died but, personally I see that her mother died. And that the darkness that followed and tried to swallow her is her depression and grief trying to bring her deeper into darkness. She's seen going through the five stages, as the achievements are called. When submerged then swimming up to the surface, desperately trying to get out of her depression, parts of her mother can be seen. Which is why I assume her mother is dead and who's she's trying to get over. But when she finally was able to get out and finally move on, the star stairway leading to somewhere is leading to her happiness and that she's able to finally come to terms that her mother is gone. Not only that, the game description says that Gris herself is trying to get over the loss of a loved one. I've never played it but my god is this something so beautiful and amazing.
Well, that could work if the bird/eal did not have Gris's face in the few frames where it takes human form. Because if this crature takes Gris's apparence the only meaning I see is that it is the embodiment of Gris's mourning for her mother. The embodiment of her pain, anger, et sadness. If the mother were the one mourning, the bird would take her appearence.
When I first played this game it was a real punch to the gut watching her slowly pull herself back together and heal, just like I’ve been doing since my depression and PTSD diagnoses. Even a couple years after my first play through it’s still immensely emotional for me as I go through the highs and lows of healing. It still gives me a kind of hope though, hope that one day I’ll truly be ok.
Honestly the most amazing part of this game is how it can be interpreted in many different ways for people. Yes the game is technically about grief after losing a loved one, but it can still be seen as different things for different people and I love that
You should play Ori and the blind forest . You will definitely cry with that one too. This is also hugely inspired by that game in terms of emotion . That's what the devs said
My younger brother-who's also a competitive gamer-didn't like Gris, calling it nothing but "a fancy walking simulator." I understand that to some, that's all Gris is to them. But thinking about it that way made me really mad. Not only is the art and music lovely, but the puzzle aspects are so creative and the story is so beautifully written, even without dialogue. I've grieved many friends, lost both to death and to growing emotionally distant. I can resonate with this story in too many ways just to think of it as a walking simulator. It truly is a piece of art that any human being who has experienced grief can relate to, no matter the age, race, or cultural background. Not many games can do that.
Give the kid some time. This is the kind of game that needs to resonate with something lived. But also, he needs to get his terminology right haha. Gris barely walks in it. It's a platformer puzzle game, 99% gameplay. That's the complete opposite of barely interactive "walking simulators", which are called such because you can't do anything but... walk. You should tease him a bit for not being able to tell apart game genres. Poke that ego a bit. It'll drive him nuts, but be harmless enough. 🤭
When my best friends mum died, I had to spend alot of time with her since she was so close with her mother. Eventually she got better and I thought of this scene where she sings away the grief. So beautiful.
+30 years old.... male.... 1,77h... 90kg... never play a game like this (only shooter, hacking slash and mmorpg) and here i'm crying like a little girl... i love this game. please buy it! It's a MASTERPIECE.
@@nelsonaof You ain't fooling me, your toxic masculinity will never let you understand what "crying like a little girl" feels like. Um... That's also a sexist comment, by the way! I guess it's typical behaviour, coming from someone who plays shooters! I thought I could have avoided this kind of bigotry in a beautifully feminine video like this! Absolutely disgusting! Okay... Joking aside... I experienced the same thing too... This game is a beautiful and emotionally powerful game. Loved it! It certainly is a masterpiece! Have an awesome day, you people who didn't get triggered! ;P
Don't try my friend. At first you won't be able to process it. You may cry, you may feel empty, but nothing can prepare you for the sudden wall of hurt that will come months later. The confusion overwhelming you at the beginning will melt, leaving you with empty pain. Your first birthday afterward will be quiet and bittersweet, hers even more so...Mother's Day will be so unbearably hard you'll want to kick down the displays of gifts and cards in every store and scream at everyone buying them... and then when the anniversary of her passing comes you'll suddenly be just quiet. Like the ending of this game your confusion will subside... the good and bad memories reconciled and as you visit your mother's final resting place, perhaps talking to her, you'll feel what you've suspected all along: just because she's gone doesn't mean she's not watching over her beloved child. Like Gris, we give her memory one last embrace and move on, knowing she's waiting for us. Don't forget to tell your Mom how very much she means to you. Enjoy every second, because the memories will be so much sweeter than even the purest honey when she's gone on ahead.
No matter how many times I watched/listen/play this part, I always find myself taking that last breath with Gris and crying as soon as I hear her mother/big sister singing to save her. This game truly is a masterpiece of art and music and I will never get tired of recommending it to everyone 💙
I don't cry over anything, but I really saw myself in Gris - the blackness overtaking you as the depression swallows you whole, but once the statue (loved one) began to sing to her the world instantaneously was bright and beautiful again. She finally was able to flourish, and with the intensity of the music I didn't even realize I started to cry. That is art. I think everyone can find a little bit of Gris in ourselves, we all just want someone to care, listen to our cries for help and lift us back up to the stars. 😭
My theory is that Gris (not sure it's her name but every one seems to agree on this) passed away and her mother drowned in grief and darkness. Completely heart broken. Gris comes back to help her putt herself back together. She help her reconstruct herself and see the colors and the beauty of life. The reassembling of the mother broken soul happens in a duet with Gris, which I think represents that she reconstruct herself through her most beautiful shared memories with her daughter. With a tear and a kiss , the mother accept her daughter's death and let her go. Finally Gris walks on the stars and go the sky where she now belongs.
I know the description of the game says "Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life" and from the secret cutscene you can guess it's the loss of her mother But through the game, Gris seems to brings colors to the world for her mother and not for herself The darkness seems not specifically after Gris herself but want to stop her from saving her mother And at the end of the game it's the mother who is rebuilt It's the mother who is in tears as she holds her daughter It's the mother that let Gris go And then Gris goes to the stars, not the mother Nomada studios maybe intended to tell the story of girl overcoming her mother loss but I read the opposite from what actually happens in the game, to me it is the story of a mother overcoming the loss of her daughter. Maybe I read more than there is to read but that's how I take it. It doesn't matter anyways, a great game, more than a game actually. One of these things you experience in life that becomes a part of you. Thank you Nomada studios and thank you Devolver digital.
When I first watched this and heard about the story, I was brought to tears on the beauty of this game. It made me think of my mother who had passed away years ago. Only regretting wishing we had left things on better terms. I know she will always be there with me, and keeping her alive in my most cherished memories.
*Gris is about the fear we live with, and finding voice to defeat it* That kind of fear lives inside of you. That kind of fear can become like a poison in the mind and of the spirit. It is self doubt. It is worry. It is remorse and regret. It is so many things that can’t be washed away by standing still and finding calm. It’s the kind of fear that stops you from simply doing anything. Gris is a game that wants to teach us something about these fears we hold inside. The environments themselves call out to the player, inviting them to pause and reflect on pain and loss and how to move on toward fulfillment and peace. You’re not simply moving through the environment, either. It reacts to you, welcomes you, and empowers you to think cleverly about solutions.
I was a 24 year old woman when my mother died of cancer. It damaged me until this day, today I am 30 and this is...this is how it looks alike inside me. Still.
This scene always makes me cry, this game always inspires me with it's music and design, this story comforts me, because, even though I haven't lost a loved one yet I know I will, and I'm always full of dread because of that, but this piece of art gives me hope that there will always be a bright tomorrow.
@@nimbxs Yeah umm *Spoilers* The statue is not her, it's her mom. So the context is that she died, and the girl's depression took her down, and every times she tries to find hope depression catches up to her (The black ink....herself)
My mother just passed away and I don't know why, but I had the urge to play this game for the first time. Thought this was some little indie game with colors. But after I Red the line "acceptance" I knew what this is all about. This ending scene broke me completely. Mother where ever you will be right now, you will be missed and most importantly loved.
Mae sings the lower part, the one that is comforting and gives a soul to a music, Gris sings the higher part, the one that pierce through your feels, almost screaming that they're alive and they won't let anything break the soul that was given to them
I'm surprised this game wasn't completely critically acclaimed. I saw one big site gave it 6/10? The game really moved me, the gorgeous art, the beautiful music, the lovely animations, and even though I didn't know for sure what it was all about, I had tears in my eyes at several sections. A game that tells an emotional story with no dialogue or text. Video games are about more than just gameplay. It might be a little simple (but competent) as a platformer/puzzle game, but the artistry takes it to another level. It's at least a 9/10, just for the way it made me feel.
I don't know why, but when the statue sings, i extremely touched, like the broken n dead statue bring the light to alive again which it is supposed not be able to. When the statue cry, my tears just forcibly out from my eyes 😭 this game must be so touching and beautiful.....
Man, both me and my brother (23 and 26) bawled our f*cking eyes out playing this. Twas f*king beautiful I tell you. Such a beautiful and lovely game. 10/10
Estou aqui depois de conhecer Gris pelo canal do Cellbit, que jogo lindo! Tudo é tão maravilhoso, uma missão falha para mim não chorar com essa trilhas e principalmente a voz da Gris representando tudo isso! Eu literalmente e com todas as minhas forças, amei essa jogo ❤🍁
I did not play the game, I did not know most of the story. But this scene was so powerful that I can't help myself but shed a tear and feel the emotions washing over me. At that point, I finally understood what it was all about.
Just when you think that everything is going to end there in the shadows, a different voice than gris starts to show itself, almost as if saying "I'm not going anywhere, I'll always be with you" And then gris gets up and sings along with her mother while the colors come back (for me gris was wanting to show everything she went through and overcame) simply beautiful
Without any hesitation i can say GRIS is the most beautiful game i ever played from far in all terms i saw this scene a thousand times because it fixes my heart each time i see it and each time i cry to this one but it's not tears of gloom it's tears of joy ... 💗
Somehow. This gave me a memory of someone and it feels like it hurts and calming and safe at the same time and I just burst out crying out of nowhere.. And I came back for the 7th times and i still feel the same feeling as my firstime
What I see is a girl trying her best to escape the grasps of death multiple times (hence the black void), maybe due to an illness that makes her so weak that she can barely speak, and trying to stay alive through all the difficult obstacles she faces so she can stay with her mother, but she realized that it would continue to chase her, becoming more and more difficult to avoid. Each color she gains shows how accepting she has become with her fate, remembering that she was happy and has memories that became superbly colorful in her time where all she had was her chances to look backward, and with her last bit of strength, she was able to say her final words to her mother, or sing a song of the memories that she has had and obstacles she faced, such as that they were happy memories and that she was glad to have them with her mother, in order to convince her mother that it's okay to let her go, so her daughter can rest peacefully, drift off into the sky and sing to her hearts content, hence why everything goes white and then simply nonexistent before accepting that she has to move up into the clouds, through the stars, singing a final tune with seemingly weakened and very seperated notes. Edit:It's noticeable when her mother's voice begins to overtake her own as she walks up the star path.
The easter egg and the grave at 2:04 , in my oppinion leave not so much room for interpretation. I think this means gris mother died and so her world is breaking apart, until she finds new strenght to deal with it and keeping the good memory her without becoming overwhelmed by sadness anymore... well something like that.
And what if... it's Gris who died? And her mother is broken to pieces in grief? And when her soul makes her way to her, and confront the sadness, helping her to gather her pieces... she now is free to leave and ascend to other plane (the stars path) I think this game gives room to some different views
I am a pretty normal eighteen-year-old boy, who has suffered little loss in his life. The only significant people that I've lost is a singer I knew very well named Owen Phyfe, and a teacher that I had in my Junior year of High school. I never even drew the connection of this game to loss, despite playing through its entirety in four hours. Despite this, I continue to watch this ending over and over again, almost tearing up as I watch the statue come together. I'm unsure how I feel about this game other than I enjoyed it.
Oh I just realized that 4:10 may be her mother singing. No wonder it's in a lower register than what Gris usually sings in. And then they sing in harmony :'(
the whole charm of this game revolves around a few cutscenes of the game blended in with the soundtrack and the locomotive of the whole train, this epic ending scene, is the pinnacle in the game, very lovely. peace
If we follow the theory that Gris is dead and her mother is mourning her, the visual metaphor and the song combine really beautifully. When Gris begins to sing and summons up the black stuff, it's like the resurfacing of her memory has at first pulled her mother back together, given her something to rally herself around. But then the reality of Gris's death hits and threatens to overwhelm both of them; the mother, with her grief, and Gris, all her joy and colour blanked out by the grief. But the mother finds her strength. She begins to sing back, to interact with the Gris she remembers, to answer her daughter's demand that she be celebrated in her death instead of forgotten. The mother's part of the duet sounds just as grudging as it does grief-stricken. It's a little more wan and thin. It's a little more pained, where Gris's is plaintive but determined. She is giving into Gris; she will remember her daughter the way she would want to be remembered, she will let her move onto whatever comes next, but the mother will always be cracked by grief, even if she's not scattered to pieces. And that's pretty much the way it is with losing a loved-one. They won't stop singing in the back of your head against all the blackness until you let some of them come forwards and remind you of why you loved them.
I don’t know why but this video popped up in my recommended, and I need to play this game now. My name is Gris, and I honestly thought I was the only person in the world with that name. Out of all the colors I got stuck with the most depressive one out there as a name. Gris (Grey). But I see that there’s even a character with that name...I want to cry of happiness
Gris is such a beautiful name! Gris..when darkest and light meet and contrast. The sky is grey on rainy days..some thinks it looks solemn but it brings life to plants and animals everywhere. I think grey is where most people are in their feelings and in their minds..a beautiful spectrum of a million shades. I know I’m naming my daughter Gris ❤️
A mi interpretación, no se trata de un sueño, por mucha apariencia onírica que tenga, me parece más la mente de alguien. ¿Han sentido que a veces estamos divididos en dos? Pareciera que siempre una parte quiere lo mejor para nosotros y para el resto, mientras que hay otra parte que destruye todo lo que a veces nos toma mucho tiempo construir. Creo que es esto lo que representa la lucha entre Gris y el Ave, el inicio vacío y la progresiva construcción que se va creando a medida que avanzas el juego, para en esta escena mostrarte lo fácil que es sumergirla, pero que tras mucho esfuerzo, también es fácil no dejarse hundir y luchar por lo que quieres hasta el final. Eso, es la iluminación, ese es el destino al que llegas en este juego, y al que te invito a llegar en la vida real.
El juego trata sobre las distintas fases de un duelo, lo puedes ver en los logros del juego y creo que lo dijo el mismo creador, pero ta bien que le gente saque sus propias conclusiones la verdad, cada uno tiene su propia visión y en parte es bello
@@darcked230 ¿De dónde sacaste eso de las fases de un duelo? investigando solo llegué a que los creadores dijeron que trata de ''Una niña en su propio mundo, tratando una experiencia traumática en su vida''
Ella esta al borde de la depresion y perdio toda razon de existir...pero su alma, su ser, su espiritu, se aferran a la vida y ella logra encontrar de nuevo su motivo para vivir... se logra perdonar a si misma y se gana su segunda oportunidad... vence a su deprecion y ahora cion una comprension mejor de su mundo... ella descide re hacer su mundo...
@tazitadete_95 el final secreto te da entender que la que está pasando por el duelo es la madre ( la estatua) y la que murió fue gris. por eso al final cuando gris se va hacia las constelaciones se entiende que la mamá al fin la dejó ir.
I've been rewatching and rewatching this scene, and I think the second - or the third - strongest moment is when the desert blooms. That time when it was only red, black and white it looked a really sad place
I’m not an emotional person. It’s hard to get me interested in something or feel something that I’m directly involved with. But this game, oh this game made me cry like a little puppy. I’m glad I went through this masterpiece of a game.
"Another one dimensional artsy indie game" is what I would've said had I not given the game a chance. I'm big into world-building, and short, open-ended games like these rarely do it for me. Especially with Gris being a platformer, never would I have thought I would have so much fun with this game. Genuinely exhilarating at times, story is open-ended, but not too convoluted, amazing level design and satisfying puzzles. Sound design is world-class, and to top it off one of the most beautiful games I've played in recent memory. Could not recommend more.
woah its so touching and beautiful i never cried over a games ending.. or thpught it was beautiful this is the firts time i felt this way about a game there is so much meaning behind it to its just makes you wanna cry..
Шедевральное произведение! Очень тонко-построенная, добрая и красивая игра! И обладает интересным, милым и при этом грустным сюжетом, и конечно волшебной и индивидуальной картиной мира
I didn’t know the backstory of this game but at the end I knew this was about grief when the Mother started to sing too I couldn’t hold it together I love my Mom

When Gris kissed her mother and started climbing up, only then did it hit me, that this scene wasn't a reunion, it was a farewell.
A thank you and farewell.
@@SquidJoe Of course.
@Oh Dahng boi Pretty sure Gris is the one grieving,that's the whole point of the game.
I was thinking maybe Gris found a memento of her mother,like a picture,or a recording of her singing that song,and this last memory of her mother helped her get over her grief,accept it and move on.
Damn now I'm sad
@@zadiczane7618 Yeah it's pretty bittersweet.
when her mother starts to sing.... that hits hard
where in the vid??
@@kylin3197 at 4:12, when she's completely swallowed by the black goo. The statue reforms completely and there's a new voice, and it's her
indeed! When I played this game I did not see reunion too!
Especially after hidden pic in the game. Here it is
i.ytimg.com/vi/6vSP4a9NeUI/maxresdefault.jpg
For me there were two sisters (or child and mother). One's died, and other was broken so much, was in deep depression. And the soul of the dead was helping to the broken soul in depression to recover from the pain. and yeah, it was more goodbye. She helped to alive person to rebuilt her inner world after the lost, kissed her and left her, going to the heaven. This is how I saw this story. If it was reunion, she would not leave, she become one with statue, in my own opinion
Yea
still makes me cry
Gris was the last game my girlfriend and I played together before she got hit by a car, a day before New Years.
We downloaded it on the Switch, and played through it all in one session. At the time, I was a little cynical of its platforming and message. I thought the ending was nice, and it portrayed a good image of what inner conflict is like. She teared up and got emotional, and of course I poked fun at her for it.
Now she's gone, and she's never coming back. Seeing this ending again, I see my girlfriend as this young woman. The more I look at it, the more this looks like a story of accepting grief, or coping for loss. I can't help but picture my lost love as the protagonist now. She too was a beautiful singer. It really hurts my heart to watch this ending, but it holds a special meaning to me now, when it once meant nearly nothing.
So sorry for your loss
Omg, :(( i hope you for the best.
we all lose people as time goes on. it is inevitable. but what is important is that we love those around us because one day we will part, and yet, eventually be reunited in the world after. in loss we are pained, but that pain is what gave what was loss its meaning, both before and after.
i am sorry for your loss. i hope her love lives on in you forever.
My condolences 😥
Oh, dude.. *hugs* :
Okay so I know how everyone talks about 4:10 being the most emotional,and yes I agree that’s where my eye start tearing up, but it’s when the drums and the rest of the music bust in by 4:37 is the part where I can’t stop myself from crying. It’s the combination of the singing and the instruments and the colors being restored to the world that just makes those few seconds so powerful that it overwhelms you and you can’t hold your tears back, you just let them flow out.
My mom died almost two years ago. Before this ending happened I expected the statue to be her mother. But, my God, I was not expecting such a gut punch. The scene plus the music was too much for me. I bawled for five minutes after the game ended, just thinking about my mother. I am so glad I bought this; well worth the money.
The statue is her mother, check out the secret ending! Both are beautiful interpretations either way
I think the same
I can understand you, bro. Same path in real life, same pain, same cathartic playtrough.
I lost my mother as well, in 2017, and Gris reminds me so much of myself. Even her hair looks like mine. I'm crying my eyes out rn
@@elysian_nymph can i hug you?
The beauty of art is that it leaves a lot of room for personal interpretation, everyone is allowed to feel and read it in whichever way suits them, there is no right nor wrong.
To me, this is grief, transcending through all stages of grief, of letting go of your former hurting self, killing your sorrow, and ascending inti acceptance, when grief becomes a memory.
But this is why this is such a piece of art, we all can see it in such different ways.
This game is an absolute masterpiece. Too bad most of the people inside the community of "gaming journalists" are unable to understand its pourpose and message .
Then IGN is dead.
agreed
you can't really fully understand this game without some experience in loss and depression.
@@LazzyVamples you can its just harder to understand
this game is ment to bring the emotional sided out some people might struggle bbut it really is strong
It's like Gris gave her a kissed goodbye...
Then the lady statue moved her hand to the tower, giving a bridge to Gris. And when she walked away up to the stars and the sky, she is liked moving forward. The game is like, letting it go and move forward.
For those who watched the secret cutscene:
My theory is that the mother isn’t the one who has passed. But instead Gris.
Gris is trapped in the recesses of her mother’s mind, hence the black miasma trying to make her stay. This explains the statues that show the same woman grieving in other arcs.
She doesn’t want to let her
daughter go. But her duet with Gris at the end is what “pulls her back together”. The stars throughout the game represent memories in some way. Which explains why the statue cries at the end and why Gris is seen ascending the stars. The memories will still remain with her even though Gris is gone.
the black miasma could also represent her anger. perhaps she is blaming her daughter for leaving her. does not want her to leave.
I mean, the story about depression is literally in previewe of the game in steam
Nice idea, I think it could totally be valid.
But all those symbols work perfectly both ways - either if mother was the one, who passed away or Gris. Those statues - I thought about them a lot - they make sense as depictions of the mother grieving over a child, but just as well in the case if the mother has died. See, we don't know the reason, if the death wasn't sudden, if it was due to some illness, statues could be memories of Gris of her mother, struggling to accept the inevitable. And so now Gris (in a mourning dress) has to accept it as well.
As for the black miasma, I think it is a manifestation of her suffering, just as her dress is. Both are, in my view, are sides of the same coin. Loss has the potential to make a person stronger, to make them more adaptable, or to destruct them. So maybe when a demon takes the face of Gris, it indicates this force of self-destruction that gets over her.
@@poppypollen4362 it is a good story in that regard. it can go in both ways. could be a girl trying to overcome her mother's death, or the mother's mind shattering from grief, as her memory of her daughter struggles to rebuild her.
the miasma seems to be wrathful and possessive. it wants to keep gris from progressing no matter what. and the shadows of its being seem ot move somewhat like gris' dress too. could be gris' grief, or the form gris has taken in her mother's broken mind as she is overcome with resentment. the stage of anger can lead to one blaming the departed for leaving them, however irrational or selfish it is.
The problem that I have with this theory is the beginning. Is the statue that is already shattered from the beginning and is just when the statue "stops singing" that it starts to break and at that moment the girl loses her voice and the explosion throws her in that grey world. Is not something that happens to the child. Also, in the "Negation" scene, we clearly see how is the statue who lie on the ground... And don't forget the "Acceptance" scene, where is the statue who is in a coffin surrounded with flowers... if that is not "acceptance of the death of a loved one" I don't know what another thing can means...
Also, the Black color that absorbs all the colors has the child's face and is the only thing in that dream that doesn't want you to continue, and to let you always in pain. It seems for me more the 5 steps of grief of a child who loses her mother in an illness as the other guys say, because of the other way... I don't know how to explain the things I said.
Also, the statue doesn't seem not even when is colored.
gave me chills all over my body when the statue(herself?) came to life 4:03 ( my favorite part)
the soundtrack...so beautiful.
It's not herself, it was a loved one, either she lost her mother, big sister or best friend. Theres an easter egg video you can find in this game. Suite beautiful yet saddening...
@@youssefa.2251 I think she lost her mother. However...thinking about it backwards, what if the girl was the one who died by committing suicide and the broken statue pieces resembled her mother being broken hearted? In the game play theres statues of that woman in poses that look like she is grieving. Then at the end, she is letting her go into the stars to Heaven. Thats IF it was backwards. I guess there are a lot of ways to look at this.
@@jjspade81 That's genius! It could've been a great plot twist. But the story description did confirm it is about a hopeful girl, the peotagonist.
Still gotta say it was very creative ;)
@@youssefa.2251 Thank you. It very well could have been the mother who died as I thought before. Then it would makes sense that the mother suffered from depression from the poses it shows, and committing suicide when it shows her lying down at the end. The only thing that they confused me on was the very end where she was the one who went into the sky and walking on stars.
@@jjspade81 I think it's a way of telling that the girl finally was able to move on from the grief she suffered of losing her loved one. Because she always seemed to be drawn to the palm of her loved one's hand, not wanting to let go.
Here is my idea of the story.
The giant statue is Gris herself, a young woman in depression, possibly after suicide attempt (that's why she is so broken). The little girl symbolises "childish" part of her soul, the one that represents dreams, desire to live and be happy, and it also contains her most treasured memories. The little girls tries to show Gris all the colours of the world, how beautiful the world is, also tries to wake her up with a beautiful song. The bird, the fish and the ugly face in the end symbolise depression. They want to kill the little girl and therefore kill Gris. But in the end the girl managed to wake Gris up. That moment when the girl kissed the statue and it shed a tear symbolised that Gris no longer hated herself, she began to love herself and see all the beauty of life. And in the end the little girl walked away, because she was no longer needed: Gris was already recovering.
I really like this interpretation, but the chapters are named after the well-known five stages of grief, all but confirming that this is about the loss of a loved one, most likely the main character's mother. This is reinforced by the theming and mechanics of each chapter, which tie in very well with the associated stage of grief.
If you have seen the easter egg, it would confirm its about losing a lost one
@@Reach_W So it means that the statue is her mother, right? And the world being restored and GRIS kissing the statue mean her accepting her loss. Therefore her walking up on the stars in the light means that she woke up to the real world getting past everything she went through.
Yeah. The ending is about, in simple terms, moving on from the grieving process.
The statues are shown to be her mother in an Easter egg. This means that Gris is most likely dead. You play as the memory of Gris in her mother’s mind. You get to see the statues of her mother’s grief and each achievement is named after the stages of her mother’s loss.
4:20 Gris finally accepts her mother death so it's a farewell hence her mother's crying...
But.... 420..
its actually Gris who died the mother didn't accept her daughter being Dead that's why she was broken so many times
yeah I believe it is the other way around Gris is dead and the mother finally accepted her death and let go of her at the end, the statue is the mother going through the 5 stages of grief. the statue is the one that cries at the end and Gris ascends to heaven.
@@vgsadgirl but the secret cutscene
Like what the creator said, it's based on your interpretation, and I think the lesbian thing fits too, love doesn't know age, or that's what I think it is called
I haven't known this game until youtube recommended this video today. This really makes me emotional. Especially this part 4:01 - 4:14, it reminds me on the exact moment I tried to kill myself before but a sudden idea occurred, telling me to help other people suffering the same as mine. So I stopped my architecture course and started psychology. Now I have a degree of it and hopefully I'll become a psychologist, or a researcher for mental health...
Kudos youtube for recommending this video to me...
Sorry for my grammar. English is my third language so I kinda make mistakes...
Br?
This is a nice dream
Same thanks fucking youtube
it’s about losing a loved one
I hope you're not making this story up because suicide is serious matter and not something to fake around for getting more likes....
im fucking cry.
same vro
Ugly Sobbing , ,
_Why are you fucking cry? What did they do to you?_
I see why people think Gris died but, personally I see that her mother died. And that the darkness that followed and tried to swallow her is her depression and grief trying to bring her deeper into darkness. She's seen going through the five stages, as the achievements are called.
When submerged then swimming up to the surface, desperately trying to get out of her depression, parts of her mother can be seen. Which is why I assume her mother is dead and who's she's trying to get over.
But when she finally was able to get out and finally move on, the star stairway leading to somewhere is leading to her happiness and that she's able to finally come to terms that her mother is gone.
Not only that, the game description says that Gris herself is trying to get over the loss of a loved one.
I've never played it but my god is this something so beautiful and amazing.
Wut, you never played it ? What are you waiting for ? It's so good !! You have to experience it yourself
Well, that could work if the bird/eal did not have Gris's face in the few frames where it takes human form. Because if this crature takes Gris's apparence the only meaning I see is that it is the embodiment of Gris's mourning for her mother. The embodiment of her pain, anger, et sadness. If the mother were the one mourning, the bird would take her appearence.
When I first played this game it was a real punch to the gut watching her slowly pull herself back together and heal, just like I’ve been doing since my depression and PTSD diagnoses. Even a couple years after my first play through it’s still immensely emotional for me as I go through the highs and lows of healing. It still gives me a kind of hope though, hope that one day I’ll truly be ok.
Media: *GaMeRs DoN't KnOw ArT*
Gamers:
Honestly the most amazing part of this game is how it can be interpreted in many different ways for people.
Yes the game is technically about grief after losing a loved one, but it can still be seen as different things for different people and I love that
The only game that managed to make me cry. Majestic beauty ^^
sameee
You should play Ori and the blind forest . You will definitely cry with that one too. This is also hugely inspired by that game in terms of emotion . That's what the devs said
@@noshgaming yeessss
this game and death stranding
if you can take the graphics try Finding Paradise
My younger brother-who's also a competitive gamer-didn't like Gris, calling it nothing but "a fancy walking simulator." I understand that to some, that's all Gris is to them. But thinking about it that way made me really mad. Not only is the art and music lovely, but the puzzle aspects are so creative and the story is so beautifully written, even without dialogue. I've grieved many friends, lost both to death and to growing emotionally distant. I can resonate with this story in too many ways just to think of it as a walking simulator. It truly is a piece of art that any human being who has experienced grief can relate to, no matter the age, race, or cultural background. Not many games can do that.
Give the kid some time. This is the kind of game that needs to resonate with something lived.
But also, he needs to get his terminology right haha. Gris barely walks in it. It's a platformer puzzle game, 99% gameplay. That's the complete opposite of barely interactive "walking simulators", which are called such because you can't do anything but... walk.
You should tease him a bit for not being able to tell apart game genres. Poke that ego a bit. It'll drive him nuts, but be harmless enough. 🤭
@@Broeckchen Hahah love that idea, i might just try that the next time he brings up my "terrible entertainment taste" :)
When my best friends mum died, I had to spend alot of time with her since she was so close with her mother. Eventually she got better and I thought of this scene where she sings away the grief. So beautiful.
+30 years old.... male.... 1,77h... 90kg... never play a game like this (only shooter, hacking slash and mmorpg) and here i'm crying like a little girl... i love this game. please buy it! It's a MASTERPIECE.
@@katerinasmit2550 I will thanks
+nelsonaof same here, never played this game, watched this video and crying like a kid.
You're not crying like a little girl. You're crying like a human being.
You not alone I'm crying too
@@nelsonaof You ain't fooling me, your toxic masculinity will never let you understand what "crying like a little girl" feels like. Um... That's also a sexist comment, by the way! I guess it's typical behaviour, coming from someone who plays shooters!
I thought I could have avoided this kind of bigotry in a beautifully feminine video like this! Absolutely disgusting!
Okay... Joking aside...
I experienced the same thing too... This game is a beautiful and emotionally powerful game. Loved it! It certainly is a masterpiece! Have an awesome day, you people who didn't get triggered! ;P
Watched the ending 7 times, cried 8. This game is just an absolute masterpiece.
I can’t imagine the pain i will have to suffer when I actually lose my mom
Just thinking about it makes me emotional 😔
@@Ugubgugb what...
Don't try my friend. At first you won't be able to process it. You may cry, you may feel empty, but nothing can prepare you for the sudden wall of hurt that will come months later. The confusion overwhelming you at the beginning will melt, leaving you with empty pain. Your first birthday afterward will be quiet and bittersweet, hers even more so...Mother's Day will be so unbearably hard you'll want to kick down the displays of gifts and cards in every store and scream at everyone buying them... and then when the anniversary of her passing comes you'll suddenly be just quiet. Like the ending of this game your confusion will subside... the good and bad memories reconciled and as you visit your mother's final resting place, perhaps talking to her, you'll feel what you've suspected all along: just because she's gone doesn't mean she's not watching over her beloved child. Like Gris, we give her memory one last embrace and move on, knowing she's waiting for us.
Don't forget to tell your Mom how very much she means to you. Enjoy every second, because the memories will be so much sweeter than even the purest honey when she's gone on ahead.
@@dawsonbalencia3119 That was beautiful, Dawson, thank you. I need to appreciate and cherish my mother more.
I think i'm going to cry. Absolutely beautiful
No matter how many times I watched/listen/play this part, I always find myself taking that last breath with Gris and crying as soon as I hear her mother/big sister singing to save her. This game truly is a masterpiece of art and music and I will never get tired of recommending it to everyone 💙
It's her mother
@@terrance3218 i think it's up to each individual interpretation who she is. There is no correct answer.
Art.
I don't cry over anything, but I really saw myself in Gris - the blackness overtaking you as the depression swallows you whole, but once the statue (loved one) began to sing to her the world instantaneously was bright and beautiful again. She finally was able to flourish, and with the intensity of the music I didn't even realize I started to cry. That is art. I think everyone can find a little bit of Gris in ourselves, we all just want someone to care, listen to our cries for help and lift us back up to the stars. 😭
JustinTheGame this game is for lame depressed emo people lol
My theory is that Gris (not sure it's her name but every one seems to agree on this) passed away and her mother drowned in grief and darkness. Completely heart broken.
Gris comes back to help her putt herself back together.
She help her reconstruct herself and see the colors and the beauty of life.
The reassembling of the mother broken soul happens in a duet with Gris, which I think represents that she reconstruct herself through her most beautiful shared memories with her daughter.
With a tear and a kiss , the mother accept her daughter's death and let her go.
Finally Gris walks on the stars and go the sky where she now belongs.
I was thinking the same omg 😭
the secret ending confirms your theory
I know the description of the game says "Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life" and from the secret cutscene you can guess it's the loss of her mother
But through the game, Gris seems to brings colors to the world for her mother and not for herself
The darkness seems not specifically after Gris herself but want to stop her from saving her mother
And at the end of the game it's the mother who is rebuilt
It's the mother who is in tears as she holds her daughter
It's the mother that let Gris go
And then Gris goes to the stars, not the mother
Nomada studios maybe intended to tell the story of girl overcoming her mother loss but I read the opposite from what actually happens in the game, to me it is the story of a mother overcoming the loss of her daughter. Maybe I read more than there is to read but that's how I take it.
It doesn't matter anyways, a great game, more than a game actually.
One of these things you experience in life that becomes a part of you.
Thank you Nomada studios and thank you Devolver digital.
20 years ago, and the pain still the same, and the love too... "I promise mom, im gonna find my voice again"
When I first watched this and heard about the story, I was brought to tears on the beauty of this game. It made me think of my mother who had passed away years ago. Only regretting wishing we had left things on better terms. I know she will always be there with me, and keeping her alive in my most cherished memories.
*Gris is about the fear we live with, and finding voice to defeat it*
That kind of fear lives inside of you. That kind of fear can become like a poison in the mind and of the spirit. It is self doubt. It is worry. It is remorse and regret. It is so many things that can’t be washed away by standing still and finding calm.
It’s the kind of fear that stops you from simply doing anything. Gris is a game that wants to teach us something about these fears we hold inside.
The environments themselves call out to the player, inviting them to pause and reflect on pain and loss and how to move on toward fulfillment and peace. You’re not simply moving through the environment, either. It reacts to you, welcomes you, and empowers you to think cleverly about solutions.
2:55 is when the cutscene starts :)
I was a 24 year old woman when my mother died of cancer.
It damaged me until this day, today I am 30 and this is...this is how it looks alike inside me. Still.
it doesnt matter how many years its been or how much i play this game. i'm reminded so much of my mom... i bawl my eyes out every time.
Para mí esta parte es como que es la lucha interna que nosotros tenemos a veces.....y buscando la superación.
In the eyes of a child, mother is god.
Not when you are grieving the mom you never had...
This scene always makes me cry, this game always inspires me with it's music and design, this story comforts me, because, even though I haven't lost a loved one yet I know I will, and I'm always full of dread because of that, but this piece of art gives me hope that there will always be a bright tomorrow.
people need to find out what is the secret cutscene to see the full story
How so? Secret cutscene???
@@nimbxs Yeah umm
*Spoilers*
The statue is not her, it's her mom. So the context is that she died, and the girl's depression took her down, and every times she tries to find hope depression catches up to her (The black ink....herself)
My favorite part 4:05, this is soooooo beautiful. And this music😍😍😍😍
At the end of it all who ends up crying is the statue and me.
I didn't understand how paintings can bring emotions, or how it can bring people to tears.
Now I understand.
Someday I hope I can make art that can encapsulate how I feel about this because this brings me to tears.
My mother just passed away and I don't know why, but I had the urge to play this game for the first time. Thought this was some little indie game with colors. But after I Red the line "acceptance" I knew what this is all about. This ending scene broke me completely. Mother where ever you will be right now, you will be missed and most importantly loved.
Mae sings the lower part, the one that is comforting and gives a soul to a music, Gris sings the higher part, the one that pierce through your feels, almost screaming that they're alive and they won't let anything break the soul that was given to them
I love the fluidity of the animation of the entity. I wonder what graphical style it is ?
I'm rewatching this just because it is so damn beautifull
4:10 i'm feeling how i'm going to life again
I'm surprised this game wasn't completely critically acclaimed. I saw one big site gave it 6/10?
The game really moved me, the gorgeous art, the beautiful music, the lovely animations, and even though I didn't know for sure what it was all about, I had tears in my eyes at several sections. A game that tells an emotional story with no dialogue or text.
Video games are about more than just gameplay. It might be a little simple (but competent) as a platformer/puzzle game, but the artistry takes it to another level. It's at least a 9/10, just for the way it made me feel.
That's just IGN being hardheaded. Everyone else in the gaming world considers this a work of art.
I don't know why, but when the statue sings, i extremely touched, like the broken n dead statue bring the light to alive again which it is supposed not be able to. When the statue cry, my tears just forcibly out from my eyes 😭 this game must be so touching and beautiful.....
I had the music for this blasted so loudly on my switch it blew one of my speakers. 10000000% worth it.
Man, both me and my brother (23 and 26) bawled our f*cking eyes out playing this. Twas f*king beautiful I tell you. Such a beautiful and lovely game. 10/10
Estou aqui depois de conhecer Gris pelo canal do Cellbit, que jogo lindo! Tudo é tão maravilhoso, uma missão falha para mim não chorar com essa trilhas e principalmente a voz da Gris representando tudo isso! Eu literalmente e com todas as minhas forças, amei essa jogo ❤🍁
Enato você vai gostar de Child Of Light e Ori and the Blind Forest, esses dois jogos consegue ser ainda melhor que Gris
No matter what you're going through, you can do it. You are stronger than you think.
i love how beautifully animated the black stuff is
Fear death, not for yourself, but for the ones you'd leave behind, for the ones that, without you, would be alone.
I did not play the game, I did not know most of the story. But this scene was so powerful that I can't help myself but shed a tear and feel the emotions washing over me. At that point, I finally understood what it was all about.
Just when you think that everything is going to end there in the shadows, a different voice than gris starts to show itself, almost as if saying "I'm not going anywhere, I'll always be with you" And then gris gets up and sings along with her mother while the colors come back (for me gris was wanting to show everything she went through and overcame) simply beautiful
Without any hesitation i can say GRIS is the most beautiful game i ever played from far in all terms i saw this scene a thousand times because it fixes my heart each time i see it and each time i cry to this one but it's not tears of gloom it's tears of joy ... 💗
Somehow. This gave me a memory of someone and it feels like it hurts and calming and safe at the same time and I just burst out crying out of nowhere..
And I came back for the 7th times and i still feel the same feeling as my firstime
This game is the only game to make me me actually tear up. One of my favorite games of all time.
What I see is a girl trying her best to escape the grasps of death multiple times (hence the black void), maybe due to an illness that makes her so weak that she can barely speak, and trying to stay alive through all the difficult obstacles she faces so she can stay with her mother, but she realized that it would continue to chase her, becoming more and more difficult to avoid. Each color she gains shows how accepting she has become with her fate, remembering that she was happy and has memories that became superbly colorful in her time where all she had was her chances to look backward, and with her last bit of strength, she was able to say her final words to her mother, or sing a song of the memories that she has had and obstacles she faced, such as that they were happy memories and that she was glad to have them with her mother, in order to convince her mother that it's okay to let her go, so her daughter can rest peacefully, drift off into the sky and sing to her hearts content, hence why everything goes white and then simply nonexistent before accepting that she has to move up into the clouds, through the stars, singing a final tune with seemingly weakened and very seperated notes.
Edit:It's noticeable when her mother's voice begins to overtake her own as she walks up the star path.
The easter egg and the grave at 2:04 , in my oppinion leave not so much room for interpretation. I think this means gris mother died and so her world is breaking apart, until she finds new strenght to deal with it and keeping the good memory her without becoming overwhelmed by sadness anymore... well something like that.
And what if... it's Gris who died? And her mother is broken to pieces in grief? And when her soul makes her way to her, and confront the sadness, helping her to gather her pieces... she now is free to leave and ascend to other plane (the stars path)
I think this game gives room to some different views
Phenomenal game. The Switch needs more like this! ❤❤❤
This game always give me chills and enough to makes grown man cry

This scene makes me cry every time.. what a beautiful masterpiece
5 minutes after discovering a game, it has me in tears. That's a new record.
I am a pretty normal eighteen-year-old boy, who has suffered little loss in his life. The only significant people that I've lost is a singer I knew very well named Owen Phyfe, and a teacher that I had in my Junior year of High school. I never even drew the connection of this game to loss, despite playing through its entirety in four hours. Despite this, I continue to watch this ending over and over again, almost tearing up as I watch the statue come together. I'm unsure how I feel about this game other than I enjoyed it.
Oh I just realized that 4:10 may be her mother singing. No wonder it's in a lower register than what Gris usually sings in. And then they sing in harmony :'(
Gris finally can say goodbye to her mother.
Almost cryed with this Ending Cutscene. Awesome game. Thx Nomada Studio
the whole charm of this game revolves around a few cutscenes of the game blended in with the soundtrack and the locomotive of the whole train, this epic ending scene, is the pinnacle in the game, very lovely. peace
2:55 sing moment
If we follow the theory that Gris is dead and her mother is mourning her, the visual metaphor and the song combine really beautifully. When Gris begins to sing and summons up the black stuff, it's like the resurfacing of her memory has at first pulled her mother back together, given her something to rally herself around. But then the reality of Gris's death hits and threatens to overwhelm both of them; the mother, with her grief, and Gris, all her joy and colour blanked out by the grief. But the mother finds her strength.
She begins to sing back, to interact with the Gris she remembers, to answer her daughter's demand that she be celebrated in her death instead of forgotten. The mother's part of the duet sounds just as grudging as it does grief-stricken. It's a little more wan and thin. It's a little more pained, where Gris's is plaintive but determined. She is giving into Gris; she will remember her daughter the way she would want to be remembered, she will let her move onto whatever comes next, but the mother will always be cracked by grief, even if she's not scattered to pieces.
And that's pretty much the way it is with losing a loved-one. They won't stop singing in the back of your head against all the blackness until you let some of them come forwards and remind you of why you loved them.
This theory and the video made me cry
This left me speechless
Its the other way around lmao
@@cupid3890 who says? Absolutely no relevant source.
The developers themselves said that gris is hopeful girl dealing with a loss, it's the other way around
possibly one of the most beautiful game endings i've layed my eyes on- omg
When I saw this in the game I freaked out. Like " SHE WAS EATEN. STONE WOMAN?" Then I cried for awhile. Beautiful game and ending.
I don’t know why but this video popped up in my recommended, and I need to play this game now. My name is Gris, and I honestly thought I was the only person in the world with that name. Out of all the colors I got stuck with the most depressive one out there as a name. Gris (Grey). But I see that there’s even a character with that name...I want to cry of happiness
Gris is such a beautiful name! Gris..when darkest and light meet and contrast. The sky is grey on rainy days..some thinks it looks solemn but it brings life to plants and animals everywhere. I think grey is where most people are in their feelings and in their minds..a beautiful spectrum of a million shades. I know I’m naming my daughter Gris ❤️
I better stop reading this comment section, my sight's getting too blurry.
This game interwines losing your mother with losing the music inside of you. Fascinating...
Goddamn, i'm crying again, played it for 3 times, watched this ending like 5 times, and i'm crying again
A mi interpretación, no se trata de un sueño, por mucha apariencia onírica que tenga, me parece más la mente de alguien. ¿Han sentido que a veces estamos divididos en dos? Pareciera que siempre una parte quiere lo mejor para nosotros y para el resto, mientras que hay otra parte que destruye todo lo que a veces nos toma mucho tiempo construir. Creo que es esto lo que representa la lucha entre Gris y el Ave, el inicio vacío y la progresiva construcción que se va creando a medida que avanzas el juego, para en esta escena mostrarte lo fácil que es sumergirla, pero que tras mucho esfuerzo, también es fácil no dejarse hundir y luchar por lo que quieres hasta el final. Eso, es la iluminación, ese es el destino al que llegas en este juego, y al que te invito a llegar en la vida real.
El juego trata sobre las distintas fases de un duelo, lo puedes ver en los logros del juego y creo que lo dijo el mismo creador, pero ta bien que le gente saque sus propias conclusiones la verdad, cada uno tiene su propia visión y en parte es bello
@@darcked230 ¿De dónde sacaste eso de las fases de un duelo? investigando solo llegué a que los creadores dijeron que trata de ''Una niña en su propio mundo, tratando una experiencia traumática en su vida''
@@undomielkay De los logros que consigues. Y creo que lo dijo su creador porque lo leí por ahi, pero me ciño a los logros
Ella esta al borde de la depresion y perdio toda razon de existir...pero su alma, su ser, su espiritu, se aferran a la vida y ella logra encontrar de nuevo su motivo para vivir... se logra perdonar a si misma y se gana su segunda oportunidad... vence a su deprecion y ahora cion una comprension mejor de su mundo... ella descide re hacer su mundo...
@tazitadete_95 el final secreto te da entender que la que está pasando por el duelo es la madre ( la estatua) y la que murió fue gris. por eso al final cuando gris se va hacia las constelaciones se entiende que la mamá al fin la dejó ir.
I've been rewatching and rewatching this scene, and I think the second - or the third - strongest moment is when the desert blooms. That time when it was only red, black and white it looked a really sad place
I’m not an emotional person. It’s hard to get me interested in something or feel something that I’m directly involved with. But this game, oh this game made me cry like a little puppy. I’m glad I went through this masterpiece of a game.
Just finished the game and talk about a heavy emotional game, this one is truly a masterpiece.
I've never played this game but it gave me goosebumps watching this video
I cant find any other game that gives the same emotional experience, gris was unique masterpiece
5:12 when her mother started crying😭😭😭im gonna be sick
"Another one dimensional artsy indie game"
is what I would've said had I not given the game a chance.
I'm big into world-building, and short, open-ended games like these rarely do it for me.
Especially with Gris being a platformer, never would I have thought I would have so much fun with this game.
Genuinely exhilarating at times, story is open-ended, but not too convoluted, amazing level design and satisfying puzzles.
Sound design is world-class, and to top it off one of the most beautiful games I've played in recent memory.
Could not recommend more.
Flawless
woah its so touching and beautiful i never cried over a games ending.. or thpught it was beautiful this is the firts time i felt this way about a game there is so much meaning behind it to its just makes you wanna cry..
Chills at 4:11, 4:33 every time.
Шедевральное произведение! Очень тонко-построенная, добрая и красивая игра! И обладает интересным, милым и при этом грустным сюжетом, и конечно волшебной и индивидуальной картиной мира
I didn’t know the backstory of this game but at the end I knew this was about grief when the Mother started to sing too I couldn’t hold it together I love my Mom
Es arte puro, un juego sin diálogos me ha hecho llorar por un largo rato. El juego me ha sorprendido mucho, sin palabras para esta hermosura...
Every time I watch it, my scin crawl... So beautiful.
came across this from recommendations and i dont know anything about the game but damn dude, the animation is sick as hell
