What is Graffiti...

Graffiti Games amplifies the voices of underrepresented developers on the rise by commissioning them to make exclusive games to fit the yearly theme, and has grown to be so much more with the support of Rockstar Games.

But relaxing might prove hard when the Spirit World is real, its entrance is in their basement, and they're its newest guardian.
