Reviews for The Grey Rainbow

[Quickdraw94]

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.

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 ;)

I loved this game. It was like playing an interactive story book. The music was good and I liked the crayon drawings.

What a little gem this game is, I felt compelled to write something about it! Simple and yet so beautiful at the same time, with a wonderful message about how small things can make a big difference all tied in to the fantasy side of the story.

I loved all of the references to other media too (Bugs Bunny, the "Badger" song, Rincewind from the Discworld universe, the crocodile that swallowed a clock from Peter Pan...), and the other little jokes in the narration all kept the whole game ticking along nicely.

The hand-drawn style is also something unique that I can't say I've ever seen used before. I would love to see another game in a similar style, thoroughly enjoyed playing!
