“One of the most essential iOS games of the year. Proves just how interesting and vital gaming as a medium can be. 9/10” —Pocket Gamer

“Grayout is exceptional as a game, as a compelling narrative, as an experiment in communication. It is simple, poignant, and horrifying.” —Gamezebo

Grayout is an aphasiac text game set in a medical dystopia. It’s a prequel to the censorship game Blackbar.

In Grayout, you play Alaine, a rebelious resident of the totalitarian community called The Neighborhood, who wakes up in a hospital research lab following an accident… or so she is told. The game is a series of conversations with hospital staff, made challenging by Alaine’s post-traumatic aphasia—a disorder that affects one’s ability to process language.

Grayout simulates the experience of having a word on the tip of your tongue, the frustration of knowing what you mean but not how to say it, the feeling of being overwhelmed by the runaway thoughts inside your head and struggling to reign them in.

This is a game for fans of text adventures, interactive fiction, word puzzles, story-driven games, and emotional simulations.

“Marvelous.” —The Guardian, The best iPhone and iPad apps of 2015

“Liked Blackbar? This is harder but also cleverer. Lots more feels too. Prepare your brain.” —Sam Barlow of Her Story

We hope your stay in the Neighborhood Hospital is pleasant and brief. Get well.

Mesmerizing

Warnung vorab: man sollte der englischen Sprache einigermaßen mächtig sein, um die feinen Details und liebevollen Anspielungen dieser wundervollen Spielidee nachvollziehen zu können. Wenn man diese Voraussetzung aber erfüllt, erhält man einen fesselnden Rätselspass mit atmosphärischer Geschichte und spannenden Charakteren. In diesem Zusammenhang sei auch Blackbar vom selben Entwickler empfohlen, für das Grayout die Vorgeschichte erzählt.

Nicht schön, aber interessantes Konzept

Das Spiel ist ein Text Adventure, dass einem die Probleme verschiedener Sprachstörungen aufzeigt. Ich finde es allerdings nicht besonders schön, insbesondere die Typografie könnte besser sein. Die letzten Rätsel sind als nicht native speaker teilweise schwierig...

Something different, something cool

A text adventure like no other, where the shortcomings of the interface are pivotal to the story. One of the most original ideas Ive ever played on my phone. Perfect for running through in a short amount of time or for just little pick-up sessions.

How did you enjoy Grayout? Try to answer in a complete sentence.

Brilliant prequel to Blackbar

Please keep them coming

Confusing

Would have made a great dystopia short story but as a word game not so good. I found the game awkward. I didnt enjoy it. But the story was great!

Need Therapy Now!

I am sooo addicted to this App! If you are A.D.D. you may not like it. VERY CHALLENGING!
