The voice recordings sometimes sound a bit off, but that's probably because it was a low budget production. The drawings, music and story are beautiful. Well done :). I loved this game. It's completely story-driven, but your choices affect what happens in the story. It has a very interesting mystery that you must unravel, and the solution to the mystery is something unique and original. Additionally, the beautiful music and artwork really drew me in and had me playing for hours without realizing it. Such a beautiful story and game. Would highly recommend.. I tend to have a love for games that are or have scenes that are quiet and contemplative where you just hang around and interact with the cast to learn more about them and\/or explore and interact with things that has the protag reminisce about things and\/or flesh out the characters and world as well. For example the home base stuff in the new Wolfensteins, a good chunk of Life is Strange, the hubs in Shadowruns Dragonfall and Hong Kong, and the last level of the PS2 horror game Rule of Rose. Lulls in the action like that can really lend themselves to nice character moments and really immerse me in the setting.Gray Skies, Dark Waters is just a whole game of those types of scenes, it's a somber, meditative game about a family dealing with the loss of a loved one under mysterious circumstances. The Garett family live in the fictional Virginian town of Avett's Landing on the Chesapeake. Their lives are irrevocably changed when the mother, Vivian, mysteriously disappears. The game begins a year after the event and you play as the eldest sibling, Lina. Lina is still trying to search for answers, though it's up to the player to decide what Lina thinks what happened and how avid she is in her search. She has been looking out for her younger two sisters and brother, the moody Violet, the outgoing Merle, and the bookish Gus in the interim as her father did not take the disappearance very well and has become more distant to his children as he retreats into his work. As Lina search brings her to a possible explanation the player will have to decide whether it\u2019s mundane or possibly something more\u2026The gameplay is mainly dialogue choices and exploration. There technically is an inventory system but you only really use it to open new dialogue with Lina's family. The dialogue choices you make do indeed matter and you can get wildly different endings depending on how you played Lina, i.e. I played her as mostly convinced that her mom was dead and she supported her siblings through it all but you can a get a tonally different ending than mine. The game gives you a to do list of main objectives as well as sidequests essentially, which are usually finding an item and talking to Lina\u2019s family about it. The starting area is the Garett House, but the game will also take you to a forest park and a beach walkway.The game\u2019s environmental art and soundtrack are quite good, really setting the game\u2019s melancholy tone. Now there are some rough aspects that show its very modest budget, namely the character models and VA recording quality. The character models don\u2019t look too hot, like something out of a budget Euro adventure game from the 2000\u2019s, though you\u2019ll only really get a good look at Lina or Gus because I think Green Willow know the models looked jank because the perspective when talking with Violet and Merle is more zoomed out. The voice actors actually do good work, it\u2019s just that its clear they didn\u2019t have the best recording setup as volume can tend to fluctuate and they added an echo effect to all of Lina\u2019s thoughts which can be a bit grating.The game\u2019s writing succeeds at being affectively pensive, bittersweet, and forlorn. Lina\u2019s got a lot of things to say about her family, her house, and the town around her and it really builds a strong picture of the cast. The game\u2019s plot isn\u2019t some big bombastic adventure even though there may be some supernatural elements if you allow it, it\u2019s a character piece all about coping with loss and trying to move on with life. Green Willow listed Gone Home and Kentucky Route Zero as inspirations and it definitely shares some of their heart. Overall with its writing and atmosphere Gray Skies, Dark Water has an elegiac beauty to it.Gray Skies, Dark Waters may be unpolished in some ways but ultimately it still shines and it\u2019s definitely a strong start for a team that didn\u2019t have all that much experience making games beforehand. (Biggest example being is that it was made in Unity Personal) It\u2019s a quiet and unassuming game and that\u2019s probably one of the reasons it got utterly ignored in a year with so many rockstar titles. Give it a chance, it might just stick with you too.. Brief, artsy, 2D point and click with good artwork and a very good story, well worth getting on sale although the cover price is reasonable.You are Lina, a teenager who's mom disappeared a year ago. You live with your father (Robert) and three younger siblings (Violet, Gus, and Merle) who all are processing their grief. Most of the game is picking choices in dialog with the characters, and some is looking for items in the game world ("pixel hunting"). There are no "puzzles" in the classic point-and-click sense, but they aren't needed to advance the story. In that respect this game is very close to being a visual novel. Your dialog choices seem to affect the flow of the narrative and the finale. I'm not sure how many endings there are, and this info would be helpful.The artwork is like watercolors with good music and ok voice acting. The setting and dialog are believable. It took me about 3 hours to solve this, with maybe 30 min of looking for one entrance to a part of the map that I missed. There are achievements and other story choices that I have been going back for. The background for the characters is quite extensive for a short game.. Very sloooooow gameplay and stereotypical, vanilla (aka boring) narrative despite choices and story line. Would not recommend.. One of those games you will play two or three times to see the different outcomes and will think "yeah... that was...neat" afterwards. But for the very fair indie price, you don`t make a mistake. It is very story-driven, not much pointing and clicking and no classic puzzles, just atmosphere, story and decisions. Which is exactly what I personally prefer, and the style and atmosphere of this game is top notch. The location backgrounds are drawn in a pretty unique childrens book style and the speed and pacing of the game is laid back and relaxed, which goes along with the graphics style very well. The character models and animations are a bit disappointing, though. Only the protagonist ever moves, there are no animations aside from walking, and one character is drawn so distant and small, that I could hardly make out the line where the cap ended and the head began. The voice acting isn`t that strong, either. It works well for the protagonist and okay for most of the other characters, but the quality is incoherent and I could clearly hear it was recorded by a standard mic in front of an opened text file by amateurs - with different backgrounds, so sometimes it sounds studio-like, sometimes more like a bathroom.The accentuation isn`t on the spot all the time, at times it was clear the actors were missing any context and downright misinterpreted a sentence at all. A pity and I think, most of this mistakes could have been prevented with a little more planning ahead. But, when all is said and done, none of this weak spots damaged the experience for me. I was hooked all throughout - but you should have an interest in slow and silent games, because this isn`t Telltales Walking Dead ...The premise is actually one of the strongest features this game offers, it is very original, emotionally moving and interesting, leaving you to wonder not just about the fate but also about the heritage of your missing mother. In the end, it will be a "is it?" or "is it not?" kind of dichotomy, where you continue to think about the hints you stumbled upon during the game and have to make your own decision whether it was or it wasn`t ;)
