"Grounded is a fantastic survival game, a colourful, unique, and original slice of joyful adventuring that everyone should play if they have the opportunity. It nails the Honey, I Shrunk The Kids vibe, its core gameplay loops are moreish, and its setting and enemies are often breathtaking in how they reframe the mundane. However, and as usual for these big efforts on Switch, this port has plenty of issues. They've had to tank the visuals, the all-important online co-op is flaky, the frame rate is fine until you start going big on bases - just all the stuff we've come to expect at this stage, really. If you can handle the issues, or if Switch is your only way to play, this game can still deliver the goods and the quality shines through. However, if you have another way to play it, we'd definitely recommend you do that instead."

You Are Grounded! drops you into a claustrophobic 1997 Haddonfield basement. Your mission: avoid a drunk, angry father who wants to teach you a lesson. Sneak through shadows, time your moves around his rages, and scavenge for tools to delay his inevitable descent. Every second counts as you balance exploration with survival in this tense, nonlinear puzzle. The game’s minimalist design amplifies its terror. No combat, just tension and quick decisions. Reviews highlight its ability to make every creak feel threatening. With a runtime under 90 minutes, it’s a short but impactful experience. The retro setting and sound design earn frequent praise. Its influence from classic horror tropes feels fresh without overcomplicating the stakes.
