The Gray Man
A downloadable game for Windows
The Gray Man is a surreal point & click first-person adventure game about a serial killer who confronts the player, as his conscience, with interpretations of his internal struggle with himself.
The player will follow the serial killer through the eyes of his own conscience. He will become a spectator to his horrific acts, murders and loss of control. He will also be confronted with different perceptions and interpretations of the killer's inner world, but one that struggles to understand what is happening around him. You, as the conscience, will initially have a limited amount of control, but you will be much freer because of the "right" decisions you can (but don't have to!) make.
There are three character roles in the game - the Conscience, the serial killer character and the Inner Voice, i.e. the Whisperer. Each role will control the game in its own way - its mechanics, the main character's actions and the direction of the story moving forward, while revealing specific memories and traumas.
The story is directed towards a single ending of the play. The closer you are to the end, the more people you hurt in the game. If you weaken the main character enough, you will be free to make choices and therefore commit suicide, which equates to an alternate ending. However, this will lose you a lot of game content.
In a nutshell, this game is about serial killers and their inner world, presented in a rather unconventional take on the adventure game genre. The player is treated to an anxious atmosphere and a grim audiovisual style, and decisions that will affect the content of the game. There is also expressive game content, blood and nudity.
