It's quite a bit different from its developer's previous work, but the premise of Glittermitten Grove nonetheless sets up a sprawling adventure filled with discoveries designed to intrigue and delight its player. It's a good framework and it kept me hooked, but only a few of its experimental minigames are successful; some of them seem to have been built for 2016 gaming's cultural zeitgeist and millennial nostalgia, both of which have started to show their age less than five years later. Even so, my partner and I had a great time finding Glittermitten Grove's secrets together, solving its world's puzzles, and eventually hitting credits.
