About


Graham is alone in a forest filled with strange wolves. While he’s fleeing for his life he finds a lost girl in an abandoned lodge that won’t survive without his help. Try to find their way to safety in this game filled with puzzles, engaging dialogue and innovative storyline.
But watch out: not everything is what it seems.
A cinematic slow burn thriller with some psychological horror elements told through the classic perspective of point & click adventure games. The Night is Grey is about modern storytelling fused together with hand-drawn animated characters, fully animated backgrounds and an original studio recorded music score.

TRADITIONAL FRAME BY FRAME CHARACTER ANIMATION
Character animations were painstakingly drawn frame by frame. Each animation is 12 frames per second, giving it that classical 2D animations feel.
DIGITALLY PAINTED ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS
Over 50 different locations were painted by hand and individually rearranged and animated, resulting in animated panoramic backgrounds that will suck you in.
FULLY ORIGINAL AND ORCHESTRATED MUSIC SCORE
Our soundtrack was purposefully created to amplify the game's storytelling. All tracks were recorded in studio with different compositions that make the songs dynamic throughout the game.

Game requires backtracking and clicking on stuff more than one time to get real info, so you never know if you miss something. Everytime you can't progress, you just have to go and click on everything again, everytime you talk to someone, you go and click on everything again, etc, without any hint that something has indeed changed... That and the slow transitions between areas makes the game tedious... Get it on sale if you like pretty art and a good soundtrack! Maybe it's for someone with more patience than me, but I think we solved most of these problems back in the 90s...
this game was not fun at all the i ended up searching up a walkthrough half way through just to speed things up because this character walks so damn slow and the puzzles became absurdly hard and non logical that they gave me a headache from thinking so hard it was agonizing plus the story was terrible made me think the wolf was mutated from the water when really it was him in the end just murdering the little girls mother. don't waste your time on this one.
Loved this game, a few people are saying it is less 'horror' than the trailer implies which is true but the storyline was amazing. Very happy with it :)
Ich hab das Spiel jetzt halb durchgespielt und bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob ich es zu Ende spielen werde. So leid es mit tut, das zu sagen, aber es macht mir einfach keinen Spaß. Eigentlich ist es ein klassisches Point & Click Adventure, wie ich sie liebe, die Grafik ist schön, man merkt, dass viel Herzblut reingesteckt wurde. Aber die Grundstimmung schlägt mir auf die Laune und das ganze Gameplay ist mir zu schleppend, so dass ich gerade wenig Lust habe, da weiterzumachen, wo ich gestern aufgehört habe. Es tut mir wirklich leid, das Spiel negativ zu bewerten (ein Daumen zur Seite wäre mal wieder hilfreich gewesen), aber weiterempfehlen kann ich es nicht wirklich.
Cool game, with great art, nice story, very atmospheric music and great visuals and animations. Only drawback: non voiced.
Straight forward point and click adventure with a nice dark story. Very light on the puzzle difficulty but keeps you invested with storyline
+【美术很顶】很独特的画风,有一种类似油画渲染的感觉。特效也做得很好,尤其是光影的效果。 +【音效很赞】富有层次感的生动环境音,非常有氛围,结合美术,营造了一种别样的沉浸感。 +【其实有一些细腻的巧思】从游戏道具的回收机制,到后期人物视角下独特的语境描写,其实能感受到这个作者是会扣细节的。 +【不常见的主题、结尾的叙诡反转】[spoiler]家庭阴影、侵犯、精神错乱、归属感…… 这些元素和议题,其实这个故事融合得还不错,主线暗线都是有呼应的,特别是最后用一个叙述性诡计来确定了一场悲剧,[/spoiler]整个故事还是值得回味一下的。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -【“自言自语”的煎熬过程】作者视角前置导致整个游戏的前中期逻辑混乱,作者沉浸在自己的逻辑闭环里自我感动,而玩家站在闭环外一脸茫然,变成了一场“自言自语”的独角戏。比如很多情况下游戏的逻辑就是“因为我知道这里需要用这个,所以你就得用”,玩家在没有线索的情况下只能进行穷举法试错。这导致解谜过程充满了挫败感,严重打断叙事节奏。讲好叙诡性结局与做好线性推进的叙事节奏并不矛盾,如果花心思打磨,是可以做出观感良好的过程体验的,而不是仅靠结尾反转的强心剂强心扳回一些评分。 -【极度拖沓的交互节奏】 主角的移动速度缓慢,交互逻辑别扭。在需要频繁跑图试错的解谜设计下,这种慢节奏被无限放大,变成了一种对玩家耐心的折磨。 -【主线文本设计糟糕】前中期双主角之间的互动和文本设计简直是灾难级别的,简直就是让玩家多看一句话都会突破阈值崩溃退游的程度。 -【缺乏基本的自定义设置】游戏连最基本的分辨率设定都没有,上下强行增加两条黑边,打字机效果的显字效果也无法取消,让玩家本就受糟糕文本推进与节奏拖累的游戏体验雪上加霜。 -【谜题设计差强人意】印象里只有黑点白点那个谜题是有强指向性的,其他部分的引导严重缺失,很容易卡关,仅作为一款解谜游戏体验很不好。 -【本土化的缺失】游戏没有官方汉化,外挂的AI翻译让剧情演绎效果再扣分。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ·【关于汉化】由于游戏启动logo之后会关闭游戏再次重启,试了几个传统的挂载汉化工具都失效了。感谢up主@剧情游戏-唐铮姐姐 分享的汉化工具RenpyThief,得以将游戏文本实时挂载汉化。 ·【核心矛盾】个人认为这个游戏最大的问题其实就在于怎么平衡好这个叙诡的设定和推进的节奏。一款好的叙诡游戏应当做好两者的平衡,这个游戏体验糟糕的原因就是为了叙诡走极端了。我个人觉得在前期如果按照“表故事”的节奏先去推进,但是穿插一点点伏笔的特写,这些伏笔要尽量埋得很深,一定不能突兀,影响到表剧情的节奏,但是这些关键伏笔又能在最后反转的时候精准解锁到“里剧情”。 ·【个人对于叙诡性剧情的评判标准】AVG游戏,故事性的整体观感依旧应当作为评分的核心。尽管上面罗列了那么多致命的缺点,但是考虑到AVG游戏故事所占的比重,个人认为能不能到70分就看一点——最后结尾反转收束能否将前中期的负分拉正。 【综合评价:70】
What an amazing story and gorgeous artwork!! We need more games like it.
beautiful Design Wonderful Sound And Intense Story Looking Forward to seeing what Games Come Next
