What players say

Players say Grottesco Absurdus is a short collection of bizarre minigames where you must figure out each rule on your own. Many compare it to Jazzpunk or Pony Island. Opinions are split on whether the trial-and-error gameplay is fun or frustrating. The soundtrack and unique visual style are praised, but several warn that all achievements are missable and a guide is recommended.
