Reviews for "Gray"
hmm
Sometimes simpliest things have deepest meaning.
suprisingly addictive!
this game is really fun in a weird way. . .
My two cents...lol
So, you start out as one color, or shall we say, opinion. You go through and convince people by making your words seem neutral and sensible, although the same method is used on both sides. When you convert a few people, the rest seem to all convert to your method. This illustrates how easily people are changed.
Then, you have an epiphany and turn to the other extreme. The exact same method is used to convert people to your new found ideology, although it is slightly more challenging this time.
So i must conclude that this displays that one must only say the right things at the right time to change people's opinions, and also the effect of a mob mentality on a group of people. After experiencing both sides multiple times and discussing with others, you become truly enlightened. Just as Aristotle believed, this ideal state of enlightenment is the Golden Mean, you are gray, a mix of both ideologies. Just like Socrates' allegory of the cave, you descend back to the common people and they reject your newfound wisdom because people like extremes, they like to choose a radical side. In the closing of the game, you are overrun by the mob, just as Socrates was killed by the mob decision.
I may be reading too far into this, lol, but hey, we'll see :D
Actually, I liked it!
I had to stop cause real life intruded, but does it just loop forever?
Unique idea, though!
