The Night is Grey

Oooh boy. It's a typical point and click as far as mechanics but the story takes you to a place that you may never see coming.

Its good.....

5/5, recommended to my OXENFREE discord. would play again. perfectly paced and captivating story. the art is also so rich with color and depth, and i love the character design.

This is a fantastic and well written game. The puzzles can be challenging but not unfair at all. Everything down from the music, the animation, the character writing is fantastic. Graham the Main character is very flawed and you'll likely disagree with him often but that's part of the narrative. It has very cute and humorous moments to very dark and frightening moments. The criticisms I would have are that some of the puzzles require specific recollections back to notes you previously have seen. This can make them a challenge. I had to keep track of these by screen shotting them, a way to reference notes while viewing puzzles might be a good idea. The other criticism would be on the interact/inspect sequence with left and right clicking. The inspect action is rarely needed, it serves more for background information/additional dialogue. But some things require you to inspect them and it can be difficult to tell without trying it on everything. Could possibly highlight this with a cursor switch or some kind of queue to the player, or remove the feature and have it operate as a single button? If you enjoy point and click games, or narrative puzzle games definitely give this one a try.

I won this game in a give-away on X. Didn't know what to expect, but now after playing it, I do recommend The Night is Grey. It is a tribute to classic point & click exploration games. The story deals with psychological trauma so do heed the trigger warnings. The stylized art and the music is beautiful. The writing intriguing, with moments of insight and dark humor which lend more impact to the odd (and more chilling) musings or hallucinations of the main character. Rarely, if ever, have I had such ambivalent feelings towards a main character. Strangely, it enhanced my immersion as I was fully vested in getting the little girl (Hannah) to safety. There are a number of puzzles to solve and they are of medium difficulty. One or two of the puzzles reminded me of Myst. Perhaps a good idea to take some screenshots or make notes to save you some trouble. The maze translates well into the story, as you are in a way also navigating the inner dialogue of Graham, the protagonist. Yeah, I did get lost, but I have a natural tendency to do so in such environments. It is important to also note that interactions with objects are done with left and right clicking. If you forget to do both in some situations, you may not get all the relevant information you need. I was... completely satisfied with the ending.(Granted it took me several hours to internalise it afterwards!) I have a feeling that this story will linger in my mind. The story does not endeavour to judge or preach. it is more like a mirror, reflecting a situation and the interactions of those in it. It is up to you to decide what that reflection tells you. Considering that this is a first-time project for a small Indie dev team with a limited budget, it makes it all the more remarkable. The Night is Grey is a work of art and the team should be very proud.

i streamed this game and the devs came in and where super nice! love the art for both the characters and backgrounds, the puzzles had a good mix of difficulty and the music fit the scenes very well! definitely worth a play if you like silent hill or horror puzzle games!

Beautiful animation and music make up for the sluggish dialog and movement. If you're in the mood for a true slow-burn mystery, I recommend this. I did look up some hints as a few of the puzzles required painstaking backtracking which I don't have the patience for as much as I used to. But this game is a true beauty. Hope to see the developer make more like this in the future.

Straight forward point and click adventure with a nice dark story. Very light on the puzzle difficulty but keeps you invested with storyline

Being forced to read endless/excessive conversations and irrelivant internal monologue due to no voice acting was angony. The whole game overall was not enjoyable and a chore to complete - I only paid $5 since it was on sale

Cool game, with great art, nice story, very atmospheric music and great visuals and animations. Only drawback: non voiced.
