Amazing concept and overall game, the enemies are a bit goofy sometimes so I appreciate the difficulty option. Question: Once you get a certain achievement, is that reward/perk toggleable? Cool music, visuals, and overall story though :D
I'm currently trying to make a youtube video showing how to 100% this amazing and very underrated game and see all of it's secrets, and I am wondering, how much out of bounds stuff is there? I've only been able to find images of the boss at the base and a picture of a monke, it takes a long time to search though,, also, does enabling other achievements affect the achievement for doing a whole run without resetting or dying? I will really appreciated it if ya respond! ^^
Great game. The enemies are a bit too aggressive, in my opinion, but the atmosphere, story and gameplay are all very well done. Kudos to you. Keep it up.
I can't play this one. The game just gives me a error message telling me to get OpenGl 3 Driver which I am unable to get for my computer and just doesn't load.
This is easily one of my favorite horror games after playing through it. I had a great time trying to build strategies to NOT get jump scared and win fast. 10/10 game, made an awesome playthrough.
I found out I'm really bad at Golf and evading the Undead!! Great game! I'll have to try to get past the 8th next time. Those achievements though, they are no joke!! Impossible for me. LOL
I really only played about half of the game because I cannot play horror games; they freak me the fuck out. I got unfairly jumpscared without seeing the enemy prior, which made me think that the game would continue like that. Seeing the videos, that is obviously not the case. Other than that, absolutely amazing visuals and everything else. You did a really good job here.
My friends introduced me to the game, and I absolutely loved it! It was an absolute blast trying to complete each of the achievements and get everything completed. Even finding a few out of bounds secrets. Not gonna lie some of those achievements were brutal. But I loved the music and how enemies were so creepy. 10/10 would reccomend and play again!!
so after seeing Jacksepticeye played this… I had to give it a go! Feel free to drop by and take a look! I really loved the concept of the game even if I did curse it out a lot in the video 😂
I loved the game, I never thought playing golf could be so terrifying! Great job building the atmosphere as the game progresses! - here is my gameplay, enjoy the screams ;).
I couldn't finish T.T 2 scary for me lol. Will give it another try soon. Either way had a lot of fun being traumatized while doing one of the most relaxing things there is.
One of the scariest golf horror games of the year! I think the tension was really good and the lovely smile and creeping the bois were doing was super creepy! I heard a few complaints about difficulty and so I turned on slower enemies and man it was hard still! I personally don't like golf and in game form wasn't much better but this game was still amazing for me as a horror game! Best of luck on future games I can't wait to see the next thing you do!
This game was utterly terrifying and so well made. I applaud you 👏👏👏. My words alone cannot describe how much I am IN LOVE with your latest work. The song/video at the end has me enthralled and wanting more! Im eagerly but patiently awaiting whatever you do next! I love all the content you put out and I hope you get to make everything you dream of.
10/10 experience. Would highly recommend to friends.
This was so awesome! The horror sections are some of the most tense I've been playing a game in recent memory, and the added layer of story, as well as great atmosphere and generally just a concept you are not used to from horrors, made this one of my favorite games of the year. I will definitely be looking out for your next project, awesome work!
I hate god and was definitely not good at it in this game, but once the scares and tension started popping off in this game, I couldn’t stop until I finished the entire game! Awesome job from the creator!
I thought THIS was excellent! I loved how it starts off somewhat innocent, then gradually it's like something feels off & then it really kicks off! Who thought golf could be this terrifying? What next, tennis? I cannot wait to see more from you!
We played your horror game i mean golfing not horror game on twitch.
And almighty was it a ride. I loved how their was so much more to it, it went from 0 to 100 i was expecting a short horror game but it was long too! You out did yourself Yatoimtop! Thank you for this experience! ^^
This game took me by storm with its really cool concept and amazing execution of the eerie atmosphere of something as innocent as a golf course... Had to draw an interpretation of the main (totally not) possessed golfer who would diieee for the sport!
It is likely that my threshold for what entails as 'boring' is very different from others since I am genuinely in love with this game. All I have for it is nothing short of admiration, respect and fondness.
[Potential Spoilers Below]
I do not play a lot of games as I am running a Mac laptop [thus having a ton of incompatibility issues with most games], but I am certain Greener Grass Awaits is one of the most unique experiences I have ever had with a horror game: Innocuous simulator mechanics, intriguing lore, and my favourite aspect: impressively crafted ambience through its art and music. For me, the character designs [even though minimal, I quite enjoyed the 'feel' they gave off, even with the enemies, which kept me screaming through the whole experience] and art style is pleasant, and the replication of casual synthwave music is very cool. The backgrounds and locations of some levels are very interesting - it makes me feel truly immersed in this strange golf course world and its connection to eldritch temples. I keep repeating certain levels of the game just to experience it all over again. I could go on and on about what I love about this game, but I wish not to sound exhausting to anyone reading this. Anyways, definitely one of the best horror games I have played in my time here; I look forward to the developer's future works.
[Pro Gamer tip for Mac laptop users wanting to try this game: If you want to hit the ball to a higher altitude, click, drag and swing the club in a shorter but quicker movement to achieve the desired effect. Happy golfing.]
Alter Schwede ist das mal eine geile Kombi. Ich hätte nie gedacht dass so viel Spannung beim Golfen verspüre. Präzision, timemanagement movement, Handling alles in Kombination wird hier abverlangt und oh mein Gott fühlt man sich in dem Spiel bedrängt.
Auch die Art und Weise wie alles inszeniert ist war wirklich großartig (ich habe noch nicht das Spiel abgeschlossen, werde es aber definitiv noch)
Musik, Effekte, Grafik, Visuals, Scares alles absolut Top Tier. So wünsche ich mir Indie horror denn hier wurde alles richtig gemacht!

hi! first off i wanted to mention that i've very much enjoyed this game! but there is one issue i wish to bring up as seen in the image below:
for some odd reason, after obtaining all achievements, the final one won't unlock! is there any way to circumvent it, as this 'extra button' has made me way too curious not to unlock it...
wow! congrats on getting every achievement! i looked through the game code, found the error, and fixed it! the extra button really does just unlock that extra button tho.
by the way, if you use bandcamp i can send you a free code for the soundtrack! you can dm me on instagram if you want the code. i go by yatoimtop there too.
MY friend i swear this is the most boring, anxious, stressful and the worst hororr game i have ever experienced please stop making other games i begg of you go play minecraft of something else this game is sooo boring and so dumb on so many levels.
you have achieved in my category my friend as the worest game ever thank you for making this shit game
please consider me as your enemy from here until the day we die
I think it's impossible for something to be boring if it's anxious and stressful. In fact, the fact that it's anxious and stressful means it did a great job as a horror game.
I can tell by the game that the ideas and people behind it are innovative.. they should keep on the cool work .. ( and dont worry about the 14 yr olds complaining about the game)
Well, if your goal was to make me never want to ever play another Golf game in my life, you succeeded.
I mean that in the best way humanly possible.
Greener Grass Awaits is a master class in tension building, always knowing exactly when to pepper in a little bit of unease, and when to go balls-out with the horror. And it's all wrapped in a premise that should be patently ridiculous, but it just bizarre enough to be dripping with malice despite it all.
I do think the game got a little TOO hard, as you can no doubt see by my meltdowns. I totally get what you are going for - removing the ample time to choose and concentrate that is inherent to Golf - but I ended up in situations where it felt downright impossible to even line up a shot at all, much less aim, before I got my face eaten. I would have prefered to make it through without having to resort to slower enemies (or in the last area, outright turn them off to feel like I had the most microscopic of chances), but finally I just buckled.
It feels like the only way to beat it legitimately is to have played Golf Games for a living since the very microsecond you popped out of your mother, but that might just be me. I just know having slower enemies did not lessen the anxiety one bit, so a slight difficulty adjustment seems very doable to me.
But either way - congratulations on making one of the most anxiety-inducing games I played all year. Rage moments aside - I truly loved it.
This is actually such a great game. I play a lot of games here on Itch, but this is truly something unique. Enjoyable gameplay loop that ramps up in difficulty and tension. The story is wild and absurdist and this is absolutely worth a few playthroughs! Tip this dev!!
This is really irritating, can't seem to get the golf mechanics to work consistently enough to get a hole in one. Would have given up on this a long time ago if it weren't for the more interesting bonus stuff hidden behind it.
Same, I sent a message to a trailer thread on reddit to alert the dev about it and offer a possible fix. Watched some vids and they don't seem to have the issue, but I write games and run into it consistently with Godot unless I put in workaround code for it.
Hmm... not sure what's causing this. When a new version of godot 4 comes out i'll take a look! I'm aware of a few uncommon bugs but I haven't had any way to test them since they don't occur on on my end.
It's similar to JS which complex button handling. Basically the Esc key is being picked up by both the menu and the scene when the menu clears.. Hard to diagnose if you can't repeat it though.
What version are you using? I just migrated my game from 4.0.3 to 4.1.1 no problems, but definitely if you are using a 3.x version I would not recommend updating because a bunch of syntax things have changed and it may kill your existing code till you go through and fix all the little nuances.
I responded to one of your posts on reddit too, if you want to collab on this or need someone to test a solution for you I'd be happy to help out. my reddit account has the same name. I also post in r/binkgolf almost daily so you can find me there. I've briefly noticed a couple little glitches that I recognize because I've had them show up in my games too.

the last one? it is toggleable and that's about all it does. and thank you for playing/speedrunning it!!

not much out of bounds, think you saw it all! and no achievements will block other achievements i believe.
Got it recommended by my partner and loved every bit of it. I also managed to unlock every achievement! Woo-hoo!

The OST is absolutely amazing and the whole look of the game makes it such a unique game. Thank you for creating it!

wow! congrats on the achievements! also you might be the first person i know of who found a hidden image if you were looking out of bounds.
Thank you for allowing us to play your game!
The golf mechanics are incredible, and the horros chasing are really scary!
I could only get to hole 12 before it got too much for me!
i made a video on the game if you are interested
Show post...
question are there bosses in this game?
1 at the end of the game and it is very good
Show post...

I loved the game, I never thought playing golf could be so terrifying! Great job building the atmosphere as the game progresses! - here is my gameplay, enjoy the screams ;).
I couldn't finish T.T 2 scary for me lol. Will give it another try soon. Either way had a lot of fun being traumatized while doing one of the most relaxing things there is.

Is there a trick to getting a hole in one? Or do I just need to get better at the game (which might be beyond me)
Honestly you just have to get lucky on the first hole
This is really irritating, can't seem to get the golf mechanics to work consistently enough to get a hole in one. Would have given up on this a long time ago if it weren't for the more interesting bonus stuff hidden behind it.
I'm having a pretty consistent issue where I have to press escape multiple times to leave the pause menu
Same, I sent a message to a trailer thread on reddit to alert the dev about it and offer a possible fix. Watched some vids and they don't seem to have the issue, but I write games and run into it consistently with Godot unless I put in workaround code for it.
