Reviews

“Gorgeous and challenging”
Look Look Lava

“Overall, it's a fun play, as this is different than the kind of puzzles I have done before. The simplicity of the mechanics makes it relaxing. (...) The colour scheme and background music are very beautiful as well, making this a good game to chill to (minus the fact you are solving a mystery). I look forward to the full release.”

About This Game

                           Everything starts in spring 1934.  

                           A desert excavation near Jerusalem.  

                           Two archaeologists with different reasons to be there. 

                           One artifact that shouldn't have been discovered. 

                           No one left to solve the murder. 

                           You will search through testimonies, forged papers, letters written in anger, coded notes, and

                           photographs of people who didn't know they were about to become a part of this story.  

                           You always arrive a little too late to change the plot. Almost always. 

                           But early enough to solve the riddle.  

                           Word by word. 

                           Each chapter hands you a new grammar and challenges you to read it.  

                           Ciphers, locks, hidden compartments — the story decides what stands between you and the answer.  

                           Your job is to learn what to look for and where.  

                           The times were unsettling and unpredictable.  

                           So is the game. 

                           What follows is a decade of chaos and injustice, reconstructed piece by piece. 

                           Everything you encounter and examine feels real. 

                           The mystery. The occupation. The resistance. The struggle. 

                           And when the game hands you the wheel — you'll understand the Price of Grief. 

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We use generative AI during exploration and ongoing development, mainly to test ideas, create prototypes and placeholders, and explore different directions. Once we know what works, we rework, rebuild, or replace the results together with our artists and animators. Our goal is to replace every AI-generated element with human-made work in the final version of the game. Until then, we want to be open about how AI is used during development.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The Price of Grief is a narrative mystery set before, during, and after World War II. It explores themes of death, grief, guilt, violence, and the consequences of trying to change the past. Players investigate scenes involving death and may encounter bodies, blood, and other disturbing imagery.

The historical setting includes Nazi-occupied Poland and a concentration camp, and the story addresses the Holocaust and its atrocities. Nazi symbols and imagery appear solely in historical context and are not glorified.

The game also contains occult themes, disturbing animal imagery, and references to alcohol, drugs, and smoking. It does not contain sexual content.
