Grayscale Memories Reviews

Good Game.

Good game but that one shifting around the piece puzzle needs to go they are the most lazy and tedious puzzle you can put in a game plus it breaks the flow of the game if you get stuck on it

A beautiful story. Not what I was expecting and an enjoyable experience!

A short and sweet game with a confusing story and repetitious gameplay. However, the first playthrough was fun, interesting, and enticing. A few rewarding puzzles and walking sim gameplay. Graphics: A really good looking game, with a style that speaks for itself. Audio: Decent overall, nothing fancy or too bad about it. Overall: Not worth full price, on sale if you're willing to pay for an hour of confusion, its worth it. Interesting game, wish there was more to it and the story was more fleshed out.

Aesthetically, this game is gorgeous. The soundtrack flows well with the ethereal artwork. The dialogue is where it falls short as it can be pretty juvenile in a way that feels heavy-handed despite the game's attempt to be seemingly abstract and thought-provoking otherwise, although if you have played JRPGs, then this is par for the course and can even be endearing to a degree as you progress. Despite the ostensibly heavy subject matter, this game is far too short to convey any real depth on the topic of death and the afterlife. I had hoped to glean something about who the characters were in life, but of course that was expecting too much given the brevity of the story. The remaining problem is the conclusion is abrupt and nonsensical after the buildup throughout the game, leaving a rather anticlimactic sense of frustration on my part. As this is Early Access, it's possible the "ending" will be expanded according to the informational post. If that occurs, I will update my review accordingly. Mechanically, I didn't encounter any bugs, but the controls are a bit cumbersome, and I found myself getting stuck on objects when trying to navigate areas that involved depth. I would have appreciated a manual save option as well since this game is supposed to be for someone who "doesn't have much time," and I was disappointed when I had to stop suddenly and came back to find I had to begin the level from the start. Not a huge issue, but it's a matter of convenience in a game that strives to promote this feature. I would have liked to have seen some sound-effects for the characters and world just from an immersion standpoint, but that's not really a big deal. Overall, I do recommend it. You're spending less than you would on a drink in most places. I certainly got my money's worth.
