maybe im just really bad at it but this was really good for awhile and then got more frustrating than scary. it is genuinely very scary though
i think every golf enthusiast should have to endure this, only then will i take their “””sport””” seriously
I hate golf
Gonna shelve this for now because I encountered a weird bug that made me lose some progress in one of the later levels and frankly, this stressed me out too much.
But what a good concept! Scared the shit out of me in a way that I haven't felt in a while, and I think the unique gameplay really lends itself to some great horror. I do think certain elements of the golf itself were a little frustrating, but as a horror game it's really damn successful. I did think that it got a bit too hard towards the later part of the game and it deflated some of the tension, but my god was the first half effective as hell. Some truly chilling moments and some great atmosphere. Give it a shot if you are less of a scaredy-cat than me.

What a fantastic and creative horror game.
I can't remember the last time my hands were so sweaty playing a game. Greener Grass Awaits has a bunch of genius little game design ideas that add up to a fantastic short game. And it's bone-chilling at that.
It is a bit too hard and can't quite find a way to balance scares and ease of play, but it's better than most horror games were a monster chases you around that can be fooled by running around a table.
Genre fusions rule.

This is SUCH a unique fusion of genres, so I have massive respect for the devs for going all out... but I think the gameplay wasn't too fun for the first half. Although, I'm also nearly certain more horror fans will enjoy this than golf fans will, and I fall in the latter category.
That being said, the golf mechanics were surprisingly decent! The horror elements just became frustrating to me as the motivation of the player felt a bit too vague. When you come across [spoiler thing], why would you keep playing a round of golf? I think there are hints that the player-character is a bit psychotic, but it's not totally clear what the meaning of it all is, which is probably okay! It just makes it hard for the golf fan in me to enjoy.
I will say the second half this game kinda kicks ass, and frankly I wish more golf games would attempt something as bold as what this game does. Easily puts Super Rush to shame in terms of breaking the golfing mold, but I think the possibilities of the horror-golf genre, as well as the golf genre in general, are still out there.
(btw, I totally found out this game because of Jacob Geller, but I didn't actually watch the video yet)
