At first it's slow...but when you start you immerse in the story and can't quit until the end! Beautiful!
Reviews for "The Grey Rainbow"
Great game! I was crying in the end...
It is short, but this is not a flaw, given the particular nature of the game.
I only play adventure games, and this is definitely in my top twenty - together with great classics!
Is there a reference to Dylan Dog in the main character?
BlackOlive responds:
Yes, yes the main character is an homage to Dylan Dog :)
This is a great game. The story was beautiful and I liked the art (and what seemed to be a Discworld nod). The one thing I would have liked was brighter colors in the colorful parts - the shift to gray and back wasn't as dramatic as it could have been. But that's just a personal preference. It's a solid game with a really thoughtful ending.
Amazing story. I loved every bit of it. Thank you for sharing this. It really gives you an enlightened perspective of the world around you. "Great change is slow, but it is the journey that changes us. Not the destination." 5/5 favorite.

Nice to see Tainted Olive players finding our first game ;)
Phenomenal! Fantastic! Amazing! I have tears in my eyes from this beautiful story. The wonderful storytelling, the original artwork, and the exceptional soundtrack. All of these things, and more, will you find, in "The Grey Rainbow".
BlackOlive, your group is great at storytelling, and I can not wait for the sequels to Tainted Olive.
I don't even know where to begin in this review, that I write with a smile on my face, and enlightenment in my heart, and indeed, my very soul. From the beginning, this story, I can't call it a simple game, draws the player in. From the grey world of The Detective, to the vibrantly colored world of the mice, the Old Man, and many more, memorable, very well designed characters.
And before anyone starts to think that this game is only deep story, it has great puzzle logic, and fantastic humor that you will laugh at.
I know that this is your first game, but to me it is the second, so once again, this was a lovely game. Keep up the great work.
