Step into the beautifully crafted world of 'Ciao Nonna,' a free indie adventure brimming with heart, mystery, and nostalgia. Designed with evocative pixel art and lovingly built in GBStudio, this browser-based gem invites you to unravel the touching story of Ofelia, a young woman drawn back to her roots after her grandmother’s passing. From the moment you return to the sleepy coastal town of Tor Marina, you’ll be swept into an emotional narrative that delicately explores family relationships, regret, and rediscovery.

You’ll traverse winding cobblestone alleys, uncover hidden keepsakes, and reconnect with characters who remember Ofelia’s life before she left. Each scene is meticulously designed, filled with charming retro visuals that harken back to classic Game Boy adventures, yet carries a distinctly modern narrative voice. As you progress, the game gracefully reveals secrets—some joyous, others bittersweet—that make every step of Ofelia’s journey compelling and meaningful.

With intuitive web controls (Enter to start, Z for A, X for B), players of all experience levels instantly feel at home. The difficulty is accessible, focusing on exploration and storytelling rather than complex mechanics—perfect for newcomers and old-school fans alike. Ciao Nonna’s heartfelt dialogue and gentle pacing allow you to savor every encounter, while subtle environmental clues and clever interactions keep you engaged and curious.

Awarded "best story/setting" in the 'I Can’t Draw But Want To Make A Game (Again)' Game Jam, Ciao Nonna stands out for its intimate portrayal of grief and growth—elevated by an enchanting soundtrack and thoughtful Spanish/Basque localization. Whether you’re playing for the poignant narrative, the classic game jam spirit, or simply the joy of a well-spun indie title, this adventure is sure to leave a lasting impression. All you need is a keyboard and a little curiosity—Ciao Nonna awaits your return.
