Dive into the nostalgic world of Return to Grace, where retro visuals meet a story-driven sci-fi adventure. In this episode, we debate the balance between gameplay and dialogue, tackle a surprising disagreement over the cover art, and explore the game’s playtime, replay-ability, and its unique AI-driven characters.
Along the way, Michael’s curiosity shines as we analyze collectibles and the puzzles. With ethereal music setting the tone, we recommend similar walking simulators while unpacking the storytelling strengths of this sci-fi gem in a very lengthy story spoiler section.
