Grey’s life has been nothing but a struggle. A constant downward spiral, and it seems even reality has turned against him. Grey awakens to find that the world has gone quiet, the streets empty. You must find help. Explore the grim world Grey lives in a completely new and unique world, and find clues to his shattered past. Grey is a total conversion Half-Life 2 horror modification where the player must solve puzzles, fight to survive, and find out what is happening to the world around you. We have made a lot changes to the base Source engine and have added countless new mechanics in the mod such as the objective indicator, portable medkit, donator based extras, pickup animations, failed reloads, new picture based GUI elements and much, much more!
Quite pleasing visual style, exciting storyline, although a bit slow in the beginning, believable voice acting. The praise ends here. Now for the bad bits: too much relies on jumpscares, which is the easiest and the least creative way to scare the player, and which should just ******* die already.
Additionally, the enemies are absurdly overpowered: crazy fast and healthy, they pop out from around the dark corners (again, jumpscares) and finish you in a couple fast blows. This can and does build up a fair share of frustration, and if you keep dying in a horror game, all the atmosphere and suspense is lost. Level design as well is incomprehensible in places, with you "using" every object on the map, trying to understand what the **** are you supposed to do, and finally swearing and shaking head at the weird and illogical solution.
In conclusion, I want to say that despite all the downsides, I enjoyed the mod a lot. But it could've been done so much better.
