Gray Dawn

Красивый симулятор ходьбы(и визуальный дизайн и музыка), интересное смешение разных религиозных/эзотерических мотивов, простые головоломки(хотите немного православной алхимии?).

good

Morning hides the truth Silent prayers meet darker sins Light endures the mist

Szybka historia z bardzo prostymi zagadkami oraz liniową ścieżką, przez którą jesteśmy prowadzeni. Sam scenariusz jest napisany dość chaotycznie, pojawiają się tu fragmenty historii, które nawet po ukończeniu całości sprawiają wrażenie nieuporządkowanych. Niemniej jednak muszę powiedzieć, że grało mi się całkiem dobrze. W trakcie rozgrywki nie napotkałem ani jednego buga. Muzyka kościelna bardzo dobrze podkręca klimat rozgrywki, co jest istotne, biorąc pod uwagę osadzenie całej gry. Graficznie jest w porządku, nie można się do niczego przyczepić, jeśli weźmiemy pod uwagę rok wydania. Myślę, że warto spróbować, jeśli ktoś lubi krótkie, ala-horrorowe gry logiczne (pełnoprawnym horrorem bym tego nie nazwał, bardziej gra przygodowa z elementami horroru). Ode mnie 6/10.

Very enjoyable game

I'm a big psychological horror kitty when it comes to games and books. I've also spent the past year learning about different religions and understanding the Bible and its messages for fun, so my review comes from that perspective! Gray Dawn is a short game, which can be a pro or a con depending on what you're looking for. For me, I wanted a short weekend game I could finish. I really liked the 1920s setting—I've always been drawn to the early 1900s as a spooky era, and since I've been listening to 1920s music lately, it felt like this game was meant for me! I also loved how the game referenced the lambs and caught on quickly to what they represented. Abraham the priest is struggling with his faith and feelings of divine abandonment while battling his guilt and inner demons. Yet, he is still trying to hold true to his faith, searching for any glimpse of hope, and determined to prove his faithfulness to God and receive His grace. That struggle comes across clearly in his journey. I found the storyline engaging and honestly enjoyed it. Was this "horror"? No, not at all. Was it spooky or scary? No. But it really gets you thinking about the deeper meaning behind the messages Abraham and David send to set the narrative. On the downside: the puzzles were way too easy, and the graphics gave my kitten eyeballs a bit of a headache with how old-school they felt. The controls were simple, but the camera sensitivity was awful. I wanted to play on a controller, but it felt clunky, so I was forced to use mouse and keyboard. At times, it made selecting things or solving puzzles tricky because the slightest movement sent you flying in a different direction—though oddly enough, you get used to it. I rate this game 3.5/5. If it's on sale, buy it—it's worth at least one playthrough!
