Growing My Grandpa!

thank you for everything that you do yames, never stop being you.

Atmosphere had a chilling, eerie vibe. Interacting with "Grandpa" was enjoy and disturbing awesome! The style of the game is just very well done!

Learning how to grow my grandpa was a enjoy experience and I would grow a second one if I could!

More chewy batteries for Grandpa! 

Great Job Yames!

is there ever going to be a playlist of the music from Growing My Grandpa? i love the song/ambience playing when you attempt to communicate to Grandpa. id love a playlist of the songs !! :)

I cannot overstate how brilliant these creations are. Holy shit. The style, the ambience, the music, the STYLE, the stories, the feelings it all evokes, and MAN THAT STYLE.

You have been on my radar for a minute, ever since I played The Well, but man it’s amazing to love every single thing you’ve created.

Whenever anyone asks me what indie games I recommend, yours will always be at the top. Always. 

Dang. 

Hey! I got recommended this. It was really good! I loved it! I'm excited to go check out your other work now.

Damn this was phenomenal!

I wasn't sure on getting the soundtrack version, but now that I've finished the game I was wondering if there was a way to get it separately by sending you the two dollars or so

Can't wait to see what you release next!

Good game! What is your engine?

Currently playing Week Two going through trash piles and there is a DEAFENING humming sine wave noise for the background ambience on a lot of the trash pile screens. It's so loud it hurts my ears and I have to mute my computer audio just to continue playing the game, which kind of ruins the experience.

Is this a bug? I heard it earlier in the game on the screen where you find the glue and photo, but it just keeps getting louder every time. Like it's literally blowing out the audio and becoming distorted.

EDIT: This is a bug. I recreated it by closing and reopening the game, then going to a trash pile with the noise over and over about a dozen times, and sure enough it became insanely loud again. It's like the audio stream isn't being cleared when you leave the trash pile screen, so it ends up becoming layered infinitely every time you go to a screen with that noise.

Wish I could save this on my Steam, I'd even pay however much extra Valve's cut would be.

once again yames knocks it out of the park with delicacy of atmosphere. you really know how to grow the worst gnawing feelings of dread without using jumpscares as a crutch, and i always love getting lost in your writing and worldbuilding. this game in particular leaves a strange and wistful poignancy, its innocent in the face of something truly disturbing

great work as always, i really look forward to what you share with us next!

this game was absolutely phenomenal. it's games like these that keep that little spark of hope alive in my heart that it's still possible to innovate and be creative when making games, and that things don't have to be recycled into the ground forever. games from you are always a blessing and i can't overstate how much i enjoy them and consider them required playing for anyone who enjoys horror, existential dread, or the bizarre.

this was the first game of yours i personally played, and without having watched someone else play it first. i played until i got both endings and both were a lot of fun and didn't feel like too much work, i was really excited and surprised when on the second try i was able to unlock certain things earlier and access more dialogue. i loved reading everything and spending time thinking about The Lore and letting my brain fill in the gaps.

i feel like i could ramble about it forever but i'll leave this at Thank You, for this game and for all your other games and your creative spirit and excellent sense of aesthetics. looking forward to more!

Is there a public link to your Discord server, or is it for Patreon members only?

Wow, what an amazing game and writing. I stumbled upon this all a bit randomly after watching a youtube video about your game. I might be reading into some of this a bit, but I wanted to share some thoughts I had about this game in relation to the process of therapy and how I saw some emerging themes with the writing/characters while trying not to spoil anything. 

The experience of discovery, communication and growth in a parallel context to the child, caseworker and the grandpa/entity was fascinating. I almost felt as though this entity was providing more of a therapeutic experience for the child than the caseworker was, and a lot of what the entity was discussing were aspects of roles that a therapist plays. Reflecting the inner wants and desires of the client (the wish) while also encouraging them towards exploration and change (the contract). There are also themes of the inability/lack of effectiveness/lack of training with therapists to really enact fulfilling therapeutic change within their clients as opposed to the want/need to just permanently fix the perpetuating stressors (parents fighting) which would in some ways aid the development of some clients/children a lot more than therapy could offer.

Regardless, really great stuff, I will be keeping an eye out for your future games. Keep up the good work. 

Is there a way to pay for this without PayPal?  I can't use that service for a number of reasons but *damn* do I want this game.

this is great! I got the bad ending, but I would love to give it another go, glad I found out about your patreon through this release :)

Full Play No Commentary *Failure of Fulfillment Ending*

Deeply engaging, very weird, real unsettling! Part of me misses the aesthetic of earlier works, but the extra animation and new look of this one really works.

This is delightful in a really horrible way! It's not since I first discovered iNSCAPE CD-ROMs  like The Dark Eye and Bad Day on the Midway that I've felt that midpoint between attraction and repulsion from a game. I love that grandpa seems half way between a kratt of Estonian folklaw and a parasitic alien from Cronenberg or Carpenter! Such amazing work.

This is even better than your previous games, great work, mate! 

I really enjoyed playing this game, my main problem playing through it was the fact that you need to feed inedible foods to Grandpa to proceed with the good ending. My first playthrough I had trouble finding the necessary items until I literally only figured out the mechanic at the last week.
