Beautifully well done art, even for just various types of pencils, with a fantastic story line and development. The wording, colours, the music-- everything flows beautifully.
Reviews for "The Grey Rainbow"
Most of the puzzles were really creative and I never felt frustrated or confused, which is always good in games like this.
However, some shortcomings keep me from giving a higher score.
The story kind of reminds me of the Neverending Story, one of my all-time favourites, more or less a deep fairy tale that explains how important imagination really is and how wonderful it can make life. Unfortunately, that isn't the main focus and instead it tries to convey a message on change that, while being clever and overall right, definitely isn't my thing.
The music is good, but there isn't much variety and it wears off its welcome very quickly since it's put on a loop and usually it doesn't fit the moment at all.
The artwork looks childish. I think that's done on purpose and it generally fits the mood of the game, but i'm not particularly fond of it.
In a nutshell, I think this would work better as an animation or a child book rather than a game. The elements are there, the execution isn't perfect.
I just about abandoned it after talking to the lady in the beginning, then clicking randomly all over the screen trying to actually start walking somewhere. I even opened the map and tried to click some random places there, but since nothing happened, I closed it again. The very smart book was no help with that either.
BlackOlive responds:
Umm... you just click on the map and then click on the mountain. Just like the Lady says.
Great game on a very unique style. But 3 medals didn't unlock for me. I got the pop ups but they didn't actually unlock. Bird of Fire, Green Tobacco, and Understanding didn't unlock.
dang never seen this before cool
