Crimson Gray

Crimson Gray is a visual novel about a high school student with high functioning depression named John. One day he decides to stick up for Lizzie a girl at his school who is deemed a social outcast. Immediately after this John notices Lizzie has become obsessed with him. Depending on your choice for Johns reason to get involved with this girl, he either deserves the ending he gets or doesn't. Personally I greatly enjoyed my time with Crimson Gray. It was short, but intense. For the record there are nsfw scenes in this game that can be patched in. I didn't do this because I wasn't interested. The only thing I disliked about the story was the subplot with the pharmaceutical company. It felt unnecessary and silly. Buy it on sale if you get the chance!

Great visual novel. Unsettling, memorable, and thought-provoking. It follows John, a high school student struggling with high-functioning depression, who meets Lizzie, a deeply disturbed girl obsessed with him. The story itself isn’t particularly complex, but it doesn’t need to be: it leans heavily on character writing and explores themes like psychology, boundaries, dependency, self-worth, morality, and inevitably, a touch of romance. On a technical level, the production is fairly modest, but the writing is the real draw here. It’s a 3–4 hour experience, best picked up on sale or by anyone who wants to support the author.

Det här spelet förändrar livet. Du kommer inte längre vara det oskyldiga barnet du var när du först startade spelet. Spelet kommer att göra dig till en man när det är klart med dig. JAG BER DIG ATT KÖPA DET HÄR SPELET. DU KAN FAKTISKT GÖRA DET OCH DU KOMMER INTE ATT ÅNGRA DIG. PEAK.

Good.

I liked it, but I got stuck at getting the true ending so I had to use a walkthrough. It would benefit from having less endings in my opinion, but I'm saying that as someone who prefers a more kinetic experience with visual novels.

Amazing game. Incredible story. It is really good at inspiring the correct feeling at the right time.

[h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34294631/] Follow Far2close - Visual Novel Playthroughs Curator Page [/url][/h1] [b]Crimson Gray[/b] Developer: Sierra Lee Publisher: Sierra Lee [b]*DISCLAIMER: This was played with the adult patch installed.[/b] [h1]Intro:[/h1] John's chronic depression has turned his life into a dull gray, there is no color in the world, the medicines he takes numb him. Some days, he can't get out of bed. Sometimes, small things can trigger a spiral to the bottom. He has frequent sessions with the schools counselor, Mrs. Smythe, who prescribes him with some of Koitec's finest medication. One day as John is with his friends on the school roof, a girl named Lizzie, stares at them. His friends mock her, but John defends her. As time goes on, John receives small notes then it develops into a frantic obsession with him. Lizzie's violent tendencies leak out. She burns down school property, she wants to murder people that she deems harmful to John, and even resorting to kidnapping if she must. With the choices you make, you can decide the fate of John and Lizzie. Their relationship may flourish or burn, along with discovering things that lie beneath the madness. [h1]Pros:[/h1] [b]1.[/b] I like how the story heavily encourages on exploring the different options. There are choices that may lead to the same outcome, but there's always a minor difference. Sometimes you might get the ending where [spoiler]John lives happily with Lizzie, but she's still a heavy hazard. You could get the same ending, but a minor difference is Lizzie mellows out and experiences these tendencies infrequently.[/spoiler] There's also some small variations of the sex scenes such as Lizzie and John engaging behind stalls at a fair or at an empty hall of mirrors. The vast amount of choices that give minor differences in dialogue is great to see as any information helps us figure out Lizzie's past or finding out pharmaceutical wrongdoings, or lead to murder. I also enjoy how color is important both visually and storytelling. [spoiler] The good ends bring color to John's world, meanwhile the KoiTec route brings overwhelming darkness.[/spoiler] [b]2.[/b] I like the characters. There's only just three important ones, but that's all you really need. For a different visual novel, I'd probably complain about the lack of characters, but it works well here. To John, they are simply nameless. They are just something in his daily life, but not something notable. His world is full of despair and most do not matter to him, except Mrs. Smythe and Lizzie. Lizzie is mysterious, she tends to keep her past hidden and her home is suspicious. She has a dangerous loyalty to John and I like how it first started as a slow burn then exceeds into impatient desire. She also deems other females as competitation that may take John away from her. Mrs. Smythe is also mysterious as we see her as our counselor, but she tends to be impatient at times. [spoiler] Mrs. Smythe is also dangerous, as we are a guinea pig to her. Depending on your choices, you are also bait to trap Lizzie. To her, you were just her work. You were a necessity for KoiTec and its desires.[/spoiler] [b]3.[/b] The art by Redd Art (Reddverse) is great. I like the softness of the characters and it adds to Lizzie's cute demeanor, but Redd also does an excellent job on the violent scenes. Lizzie has different poses, facial expressions, and a different outfit. The same goes for Anne Smythe. The CG art is wonderful and displays the complicated synergy between John and Lizzie, along with the sex scenes showing their passionate intimacy. [h1]Neutrals:[/h1] [b]1.[/b] The music is from royalty free libraries from [url=https://incompetech.com/]Kevin Macleod[/url]. It does a fine job in fitting with the atmosphere of the story. Other than that, I have no other comments. [h1]Cons:[/h1] [b]1.[/b] The pacing can be quick. It's fine for the first half, but after a specific event ([spoiler]Lizzie kidnaps you and locks you in her basement[/spoiler], things do feel quickly paced depending on what you do. The bad ends are paced perfectly, however the affectionate route where [spoiler]Lizzie DOES NOT encounter a murderous psychopath[/spoiler] feels quickly done and they swiftly run off. The route where she does encounter an enemy, I deem as perfectly balanced. [b]2.[/b] Of course art is costly, I understand and appreciate what's already in, but more pose variations for Lizzie and Smythe would add a lot more to the experience. There's a good amount of CG art as well, but some art for the violent scenes would help the experience too. Examples such as the fairground murder, KoiTec lab assault, or Lizzie's sorrow for if John dies. [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] An entertaining story with lots of information that yearns to be found. The pacing can be quick depending on the route, but overall a fine read. [b]Score:[/b] 7/10 GOOD
