Griseus
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Do you remember?
Griseus is a psychological horror visual novel of identity and intimacy, focused almost entirely in black and white.
It will contain explicit scenes and dialogue, and contains scenes of erratic text and visuals which may affect individuals with photosensitive epilepsy.
There are themes of psychological distress, dissociation, grief, abuse, and depictions of violence. Scenes may be unsettling or emotionally intense. You must be 18 years or older to play.
About
What happened to ████ ?
A small, quiet town steeped in forgotten history. Gray, a coyote, finds himself searching for answers he may not be ready for. He is assisted by Wayne, a caring friend, but their history together is unresolved.
A voice that taunts him and unanswered questions that only spiral deeper.
Something is broken...
Someone stands at the middle of it all...


With hand drawn sprites and illustrations, experience the world with a unique visual style. Visuals alter from sketched black / white and art style.


What secrets will you discover about the town, Gray, and the characters you meet?

Griseus is written, primarily composed, and mostly drawn by me, RysaEa.

It took a while for me to get to this VN but wow! This was stellar! I'm looking forward to anything you make moving forward! Kudos to you ^_^
Thank you!
Does anyone know when the next update might be or how long each update has been so far i wanna know when the next update might be happening should i wait 1 year more or less if anyone know i would be greatfull
I'm currently on my small break I take between my builds and am currently working on small projects related to Griseus. Realistically you can expect another chapter around ~3 months after the last, but this can vary. Each chapter has gotten slightly longer than the last, but they're each relatively short compared to most VN's.
First your work is amazing and one of the best vn i have ever read. and i have read at least 80 second 3 months are nothing compared other vn i have read and its been 2 years since last update and quality and story weren't as good as yours so you are truly impressive thats all. hope for the best and i can't wait for the next chapter
God damn im so sad cause i download the game today and finished today im kinda mad about the cliffinger im mad cause i found that amazing one of the top 5 for sure i wish i found it 5 months later cause i don't know how long the new update will be next still loved it with all my heart

Our team of translators and I would like to thank you in advance for your attention and response.
Mobile is now updated and fixed, along with some improvements.

We genuinely hope to receive your positive response. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your reply.
Just finished catching up on everything tonight, and without getting into spoilers I absolutely have to say you are doing AMAZING job I am sitting here writing this absolutely floored, I was actually left just staring at my ceiling laying down just trying to take in everything that I just witnessed… I can't wait to see what continues to happen with this story again really amazing work so far!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Well, I guess I'll re-read it
Phenomenal work! I really look forward to the future updates.
Is this VN linear? :)
As of now, yes. Choices will have "consequences" in the long run but I've decided to keep it pretty linear. This could change in time, but we'll see.
太赞了,神秘和恐怖感营造的很好,Wayne好温柔🥰,人物的立绘特别帅气,(特别是Wayne和Jin,这次更新后Jin的立绘好像没了)期待下次更新
Jin's sprite will have a visual change! He will be back. Thank you for reading and the kind words. 🥰
Wayne New Sprite looks neat, and the new chapter is fun to read, and the horror part getting more intense, looking forward for the chapter 3!!
Im so lucky once again to stumble into such a good VN, the artsyle and the story is really top notch. i hope you keep doing great and keep being healthy
I love everything about this so far. The visual style is amazing, and I'm already very invested in the story. It is very impressive that this is a solo project.
The
totally not personally biasedcherry on top is definitely the characters. In any furry media I gravitate towards gator and shark characters, so seeing that this has both was really a treat :PЕщё один шедевр прочитанный мной , который, по моему мнению, должен выйти в массы и стать популярным, надеюсь так и произойдет. История конечно печальная, мне жалко Сару, бедная девушка.
Была ошибка, при которой было белое поле и белый текст, но его быстро исправили, но а я даже не удосужился посмотреть вышло ли обновление с исправлением или нет, поэтому читал и ломал себе мозг, я сам виноват.
В игре НУ ОЧЕНЬ красивые рисунки, надеюсь в будущем добавят галерею и кнопку "скрыть", для того, чтобы внимательней рассматривать рисунки :)
just to be safe, is this a horror vn? or does it have any jumpscare?
There are sudden sound effects and imagery, which could make you jump! While it is not directly meant to be horror, some parts are rather scary/unsettling. Over time with development and writing changes, I have tagged it horror to match the atmosphere better.
I love your works so much, the story is interesting, keep up the great job. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Yes sorry! When I built the android version I noticed this, I didn't know it went back to the default. If you reinstall the android version it should be the correct textbox now, but it is still a little cut off. I will work making it fit the resolution for phone when I get time but it is a lot better for now.
Thank you so much :P!
A few months ago, when I was playing the prologue, I was already obsessed with this game. Today, after finishing the first chapter, I'm even more excited about it. What attracts me the most is the art style. This black and white hand-drawn style really makes me fall in love with it. The two CGs of Grey and Malik, as well as Grey and Wayne, I would call them masterpieces. They are definitely among my favorite CGs in FVN. Besides, the plot is also good, and the emotional rendering is very well done. I'm really looking forward to the subsequent plot development. Also, I'm curious if this story is linear. I really like Malik and wonder if he will have more chances to interact with Grey or even take things further?
Здравствуйте! Будет версия для Андроид?
Hi! Will there be a version for Android?
I will release a build for Android shortly!
Я дождался ответа :)
Android version is now out with new update. :)
Ураааа, сегодня начну читать ♥
I've completed a reading of this with a couple of friends, it was absolutely stellar. Paced perfectly for out-loud reading. A distinctive visual art style. Seamless sound. We were hooked!
Regardless of whether you continue this, you should be extremely proud of what you've managed to achieve. This is an impressive piece of work, especially for a solo project.
Можно спросить можно ли сделать перевод на русский язык?
Oh my goodness! I really, really, really like this hand-drawn style. This art style really attracts me so much. The narrative is also very good. I'm really, really looking forward to the subsequent development. Also, I hope the author can pay attention to whether there is a translator willing to provide a Chinese translation. I really hope there will be a good Chinese translation to facilitate our gameplay.
Looks really cool! Curious where this will go.
Gosh, I really love the black and white vibe. The prologue is short but it is very promising, can't wait to read more about Gray!
Very looking foward to this :3
i love the art style <3 good luck with the rest
gay furries? yes!
Wow, I love the black and white sketch look
This is really promising! I love the presentation and style. Looking forward to seeing more!
Great as a story starter.
I love your style of drawing and storytelling
