- GRUNND Gets a Small Refresh - 10 November 2025
We’ve quietly updated GRUNND’s Steam page with new visuals and text that better capture the spirit of the game. Alongside that, we’ve adjusted the price to make it more in line with what GRUNND really is, a short, strange, hand-crafted story.Thank you for all the kind words, reviews, and patience since release.

- GRUNND Soundtrack - beautiful, marvelous, one of the kind! - 16 March 2023
UK based composer Ed Watkins has bestowed upon our mere mortals this beautiful soundtrack. It has "GRUNND" written all over it. Ed, I am so happy we have met. I could even call you Sir Edward for such a great job and understanding. Click here to get right to it! As a developer of GRUNND, I have to say - this Soundtrack has a better build quality - no bugs, no glitches. I dedicate this release to Melnis, who passed away this morning. He was twenty summers old warrior. I love you, Melnis. - Olafs https://i.imgur.com/z2mxbJJ.jpg
- And here comes another version update - v1.017! - 20 February 2023
Worked on: - some visual glitches here and there; - edited triggers in the Farm Interior to maybe ensure better trigger of Narrator's lines, but that was caused by different reasons in the end, so I am mentioning this here for no reason really; - added TicketMaster and OldHag to overall NPC Master Sound group - they were gone rogue upon setup; - corrected the behavior of new SaveGame slots - now they are changing colours if already used within Main and Pause Menus.
- GRUNND is part of Steam Mystery Fest - 20 February 2023
A broadcast about music, visuals and inspiration will be live the whole week! P.S. We have a heavy snowfall today and it plays with my mobile interwebs and, thus, the stream - apologies for that.
- Besides everything some EXTRA FILES are coming in - 14 February 2023
Many of you have enjoyed in-game soundscape composed by marvelous Ed Watkins. And, trust me, you can listen it as a separate thing very well. I know I do! Thus the fork on music compilation have begun. No dates yet. Also, the ArtBook! Great visuals accompanied with Protagonist's notes about his journey. Some secrets might be revealed. Well, maybe at least, made cleared. And - yes - all yer regular fixes as well. - Olafs
- Like GRUNND? Please, leave a REVIEW! - 7 February 2023
A lot of lessons learned. And I am more than confident that second part of the Trilogy will be bigger and better. Less hick-ups, more atmosphere, story and, well, mystery. One of the things publishers look on are the reviews. I am so, SO thankful for reviews already left - they are amazing, lovely and I am giving high-five to every one of the authors . Unfortunately it's a number game and the more we have of good stuff the better. So, please, if you liked GRUNND, leave a review - even a shortest one. P.S. We are slowly starting to test Mac and Linux versions. It's not a fast process, but we're on the way. Thank you, - Olafs @ GRUNND
- Update 1.016 is grand! - 4 February 2023
- Added Volume Controls! - Keypad not showing - small patch will follow soon with some minor polish in v1.016a
- BUGFIX 1.015 more nibs and nabs - 1 February 2023
This build got updates in following areas: - Ending plays! Even more fixes for that bas**** to show up. Now it does; - Some unneeded ParticleSystems do not show up anymore; - some triggers modified to shoot only once; - various corrections within levels regarding placement of some objects ; - addressed correct turn of Hero ; - couple lines triggered incorrectly - fixed; - map updates with missing pieces; - some Quest progression changed to provide more timely information. On the way: - Audio Controls; - Slight PauseMenu change to better up the UI.
- Even more great updates for GRUNND! - 31 January 2023
I was not sure whether GRUNND needs it. But in the end I decided YES. With this update GRUNND gets an option to manually Save and Load games via two optional slots. There will be always an AutoSave - it will not go anywhere, but this extra flexibility, if you needed one, will make playing GRUNND more enjoyable. Also updated Ending a bit, and some small fixes I don't even remember. Should've written those down. Also yesterday sent out keys to our BETA testers, who participated in testing during December. Update the installation! - Olafs @ GRUNND
- BugFix 1.013 - 30 January 2023
Good day! Hot from the presses - GRUNND is getting updated with latest fixes. - a particular Map piece will not show too fast; - Ending Titles will show up properly - there were instances Narrator doesn't tell you what happened to each of the characters and Hero himself; - improved Variables of ending dialogue; - improved "hotspots" in some occasions to make clicking on them easier ; - targetFrameRate upped to 60; - infinite loop bug should be fixed ; - some small stuff. Even if current issues are solved , I will still touch up things via couple small updates. All the best!
- GRUNND LAUNCH DAY BROADCAST - 26 January 2023
Olafs Osh from SEKTAHOUSE today announced that his handcrafted, fully voice-acted adventure game GRUNND is available now on PC via Steam and other platforms. In this bizarre and captivating adventure, inspired by the works of David Lynch and Franz Kafka, you decide how the dialogue progresses throughout the game to unravel the mystery. As much as GRUNND is about its characters, it’s about the protagonist’s introspective journey. "I'm excited to see how my approach with less focus on puzzles and more on exploration and experiencing the story will be received, and how the players like the world I've created for them." Said Olafs Osh, the developer and director of SEKTAHOUSE. In GRUNND you find yourself having overslept on the train ride home from work; In a panic, you jump off at the next station and find yourself in Bytown, a seemingly ordinary town just before the sundown. As it happens…
