Do NOT judge this book by its cover. Crimson Gray is so much more than what the first impression gives off! At first glance, the artstyle, main menu and simple writing style were unimpressive, but I was curious about the dark psychological themes and the mysterious girl with a hint of insanity. However, gradually, I found myself hooked into a vivid, eventful story with great pacing, branching interactive narrative that delivers a strong message and a hot, needy yandere girlfriend to multiply the enjoyment! You can tell the love and care that has been put into this game by how well the visual novel elements complement each other, creating an impressively polished experience in spite of its surface shortcomings. The short playthrough duration plays perfectly into the branching narrative, throughoutly exploring how your interactions with the heroine affect the outcome of your relationship all the while revealing her complex and delicate character. Besides the multitude of endings, there's a jaw dropping amount of dialogue variations based on your choices. Add the realistic illustration of mental illness, the dark secrets surrounding the girl and an incredibly handy dialogue skip function capable of clearing the game in a matter of seconds, and you'll find yourself replaying it, exploring all the "what ifs", uncovering every mystery and revealing more facets of Lizzie, And - hopefully - understanding the depths of both characters' struggles, the healing power of love, and the strength that their bond is capable of possessing.

7GBP for about 2 hours. Story is very good and a lot of different endings, re-playable in the future too. A picture driven game with reading and making decisions which HIGHLY change the outcome of the next scene. Have not played story games like this before however i must say it was extremely enjoyable, not worth 7 for two hours for most im sure, however i do not regret buying it. Every scene is extremely enjoyable and has you at the edge the whole time deciding on what to do. Not a single scene where i was bored, looked boring from the pictures and i was going to originally refund it shot up with the story line and a cool atmosphere to it. I hate decision games which do not let me make specific decisions based on what i think however the choices here were detailed and you can most definitely get the good ending the first time with the right choices.
