Publisher Digerati and developer Brainwash Gang have announced mystical, narrative-focused game, Grotto, for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, and iOS. It will launch in the second half of 2021. 

"Some of us have a genuine interest in divination and have tried different techniques over the years," said Brainwash Gang founder and developer Edu Verzinsky. "We like the idea of people’s lives being influenced by something as abstract as the interpretation of the stars.

"With Grotto, we hope players will become aware that the extraordinary powers of the protagonist comes from their own empathy when deciding on the life of the tribe."
