Yet another crowdfunded project that failed to deliver; how unfortunate. I suppose I'm not too surprised though; the $70,000-ish that they managed to raise might sound like a lot, but actually isn't a ton of money when attempting to making a good, solid game, especially one with an ambitious premise such as this one. It would've taken a lot more work and capital to make a final product that could compete with games that have already taken a similar concept and done it better *coughcough American McGee's Alice coughcough*.

This was on my wishlist for ages, and I only recently realized that I seem to have purchased it at some point. I think it's one I'll eventually wander into because the premises - though hardly original these days - does interest me. But I'll do so with lowered expectations.

Shame this game not doing so hot killed off the developer, though.

I believe what actually killed off the developer was Square-Enix canceling the Final Fantasy project that GRIN was working on. I remember back in the day, those two events seemed to be connected.

What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Wait... that's not right. Different developers called Grins? yeah, looks that way. Though that was a dick move by Squienix to pull (I want to say Fortress?) out from the company who made the awesome GRAW games after several months of work, not pay them a dime then declare the project dead.

Anyway, database editing to do, it seems.
