Jan. 2025

This game is a mixed bag - I would give it about 6 out of 10. On one hand, there it's obvious there was a creative ambition to create a layered story with character development. On the other hand, the writing is not very inspired, and rehashes the immortal myths and hoaxes about the supernatural (like that humans can "awaken" the brain to use 100 percent capacity at once in contrast with normal usage). The main protagonist is very hard to relate to - she routinely lies, cheats, and irresponsibly puts others to danger or shifts blame to them, but it could be argued that a young girl from foster care could be like that. The visuals are also a mixed bag, with some anatomically wrong 2D art and really wooden and clunky 3D animation, but the game has unique atmosphere. Gameplay-wise, it's often hard to understand what the player is expected to be doing, there is a lot of backtracking involved when suddenly a previously unusable item becomes crucial, it's easy to get stuck while playing.

Dec. 2024

This was a charming mystery adventure game, but fair warning, it is a bit dated and has some bugs. Cutscene videos would stay on a loop for me until I hit the skip scene button. The inventory UI was also very fickle and only seemed to work on the top half of the bar. And I had to follow one of the steam guides to get it working on Windows 11. Aside from that it was playable enough and I enjoyed my time with Gray Matter. The gameplay is pretty standard point-and-click for the most part, though there is a "magic trick" mechanic to this game that is kinda unique. The two characters you play as contrast each other well, with Sam being sneaky, headstrong, and caring whilst David is somber, moody, and tragic. There is a good variety of side characters you meet, and the story features a great buildup of mystery toward it's conclusion. One thing that also really surprised me was the soundtrack. It not only has some lovely instrumentals, but several vocal themes, performed by "The Scarlet Furies" are featured as well!

July 2024

A great, well-written point & click adventure game from the creator of Gabriel Knight! There are some really cool plot points and twists and turns that are well hidden even in hindsight, and I could easily see there being a sequel to this at some point in the future. One note, if you are buying the game now, you may have to download some additional drivers to help you play it as the software is built for older computers.
