Grite v2

A complete remake of my original Grite game built using Next.js, TypeScript and a custom Canvas-based game engine. This version includes an enhanced graphical experience, expanded atmosphere and lighting, upgraded audio, a redesigned UI, new gameplay systems and a second playable chapter — The Lumberjack.

Gritev2 is a reimagined and expanded version of the original Grite game

This version was rebuilt from the original React/Vite project using Next.js and TypeScript to push the game much further in terms of graphical presentation, atmosphere, audio production, gameplay systems and overall presentation.

The project features a custom Canvas-based game engine, dynamic lighting system, weather and particle effects, atmospheric audio design, animated cutscenes, dialogue system, interactive environments, inventory management, objectives system, settings menu and a redesigned menu system.

Chapters

Chapter 1 — The Cold Carousel

A dark carnival is calling through the rain. What begins as a simple trip to find medicine slowly turns into something much worse.

Chapter 2 — The Lumberjack

Years later, a lumberjack returns to the woods carrying memories he tried to forget. The past is waiting — and so is the thing that took his son.
