In Grotto, you take the role of the Soothsayer, the one person able to speak with the stars. When the valley's tribe hits hard times, its people seek your advice. From a sacred rock you look up, draw constellations and interpret what they say, and you can also read bones to predict the future or speak with the dead.
Your answers shape the tribe's fate, so each reading carries weight, and you can deliberate over every constellation or let intuition guide you. As you get to know individual villagers and their problems, the tribe may thrive or suffer depending on what you say. Single-player, with full controller support, and best for players who enjoy atmospheric, choice-driven storytelling.
