Return To Grace is possibly one of the most relaxing ways to spend an evening.
Playing as space archaeologist Adie, you crash-land on a planet that is home to the ancient resting place of Grace, an AI ‘god’ who once charged with taking care of the solar system but was mysteriously shut down.
Along the way, Adie must find out what happened – and the choices you make change how the story ends up, with each playthrough having the potential to be totally different.
