Welcome to the Outpost of the Scorch! GRAIN ROT is a co-op horror extraction builder from Beck & Branch where you play as a little wooden puppet with one simple goal: survive the scorching desert and its merciless sun. And trust me, you really don't want to spend too much time standing in direct sunlight. Being made of wood doesn't exactly make you particularly heat-resistant. Story and Gameplay The basic idea is pretty simple. You need to protect yourself from the sun while exploring an old, run-down house sitting in the middle of the desert. If you want to repair and furnish it, you'll need scrap. And where do you find scrap? Deep underground. Of course, that's not all you'll find down there. The depths are also crawling with nasty creatures that would very much like to turn your little wooden body into firewood. Thankfully, you have a variety of weapons and items at your disposal. There's just one small problem: they cost gold. And where do you get gold? You guessed it. Down in the depths. So what are you waiting for? Get down there! This is where the extraction gameplay comes into play. You venture into the depths, search for valuable resources, grab whatever you can find, and then try to make it back out in one piece. The further you go, the more dangerous things get, so you're constantly faced with that one important question: Do I keep going, or is it time to get the hell out of here? And honestly, that's where playing with friends really shines. Exploring the depths together, watching each other's backs, collecting resources and trying to make it home alive creates some pretty fun moments. Once you're back home, there's more to do than just patching up the place. Every room provides different stats, and you can upgrade them with furniture and decorations. So your house isn't just there to look pretty. That creates a pretty satisfying gameplay loop: head into the depths, take risks to collect better resources, make it back home, upgrade your character and your house, and then head out again. Final words Overall, GRAIN ROT is a pretty unique mix of horror, co-op, extraction and base building. The setting alone gives it a lot of character, and the idea of playing as a tiny wooden puppet trying to survive an unforgiving desert is... well, certainly something. If you're into horror games, extraction mechanics and playing co-op with friends, I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot. Cheers! If you enjoyed the review, check out our curator page!

THIS! This is what 'friend slop' games needed! Proper progression and somewhat of a plot! Characters explaining you the world and what to do, new characters appearing over time, when you progress, new floors, cool mechanics (the idea is old, sure - go down to the basement, gather loot, stay alive, BUT! The upgrades mechanic is awesome! Have to be freaking interior decorator to properly upgrade! (the numbers grow if you put proper items close together and if it's a bunch of crp than the upgrade meter goes down) - cool mechanic, something new and unusual + THE PROGRESS SAVES!!!! You don't lose your progress and your room upgrades if you die. that's cool! The spark mechanic is fun as hell, but I wish you had a bit more time, sometimes it's very hard to find a new body for the spark. The challenge level is cool! Enemies are tough, but still beatable if you're clever! :) USE YOUR ENVIRONMENT! So after you're done with this game you can be easily hired as an interior decorator in any firm, lol 10/10
This game is actually so much beter than I ever thought ! I honestly expected something a bit half baked and maybe something like a mediocre friendslop, however I was pleasently surprised by how good this game is. The gameplayloop basically consists of you going down an eleveator into the "deep layers" where you can break stuff for scraps or sell stuff for money. You need scrap to build stuff and money to buy weapons, healing or other utility things. The idea is that you renovate your outpost, which you can do by crafting furniture and decor by using the scrap you collected in the deep layers. You can make astoundingly beautiful rooms like that. Furthermore I was worried that the building is like the only insentive to go down, and well it kind of is, but when you renovate a room, it gets upgraded, which in turn also let's you buy rarer stuff from the shop, upgrades your health, stamina, stamina regenartionc, attack power etc. It's a really cool and rewarding concept. On top of all that you can get very creative in the deep layers. There are some enemies, which I think are very cool designed and all work differently (granted there could be more of the to give a better variety). You can run away, kill them OR also build some stuff in their way to slow them down. If they do manage to kill you, you can find a new, smaller body that has a special ability to continue your run. You can also do this while you are still alive, by switching your body using your spark (which I like to do when I don't have a good weapon yet). There are many ways to play this game. In addition the level design has to be one of the best I haver ever seen in such a similair game. It is incredibly varied, with dangerous traps and also hidden passages (sometimes in the floor, sometimes a barred off hallway or even in the ceiling, a hidden stash of money. I believe there are like 3-4 different biomes (don't quote me on that, I think I have just experienced those, if there are more, sorry !) and they look amazing really. At last I really like the quests we get. We have a charming robot with us in the outpost, who gives us quests, like find a key or a companion of his in the deep layers, or get rid of the rot in the second floor. Funnily enough you meet some other characters along the way, who are incredibly charming. What they should definietly improve upon, apart from the enemy variety, there are in my opinion, not enough buildable items. You can build shelfs, but barely have anything to stock them up with. Its hard for me to come up with layouts of a room that don't all look the exact same cause there just isn't that much variety yet. Aside from these two points there is not really much to complain about tbh. This game is indrecibly polished with a lot of fun and variety to play this for hours on end. If they manage to imporve the two things I mentioned, I think it could be even better !
The game is great. It's really fun, BUT there currently is 1 glaring issue with this game that makes it an instant not recommended. Random people that are not on your friends list can join your game at any time, break all of your ♥♥♥♥ in all of your rooms, steal all of the scrap, and then spend it to upgrade their items they've bought from the store and then quit, leaving you with nothing. Until private lobbies are a thing, this game is NOT recommended. UPDATE: The devs added the ability to make your session private. They actually listened to negative feedback so I'm changing my review to positive.
