| Ang you are probably a lot further along than I am. So far I haven't found the game difficult to play but maybe I'm not far enough into the game yet. winfrey finding a great game that meets all of GreyFuss's exacting specifications might be a tall order. However I think there is one coming out in April that he will enjoy. And another later this year. hatshepsut | |

| There are no spoilers but I am including my views in a spoiler tag as there is some interface opinions. Its not that I dislike the game as much as - Spoiler:
there seems to be not much direction and I find myself not knowing what to do or why I did something. Further making the playing difficult is the fact that there is no hotspots so you don't know what you can interact with and you better pay attention to as there is no feature to replay conversations or re read text. For instance I turned away from the screen for a moment and missed what was written on a computer in the game with no way to get it back. Some items are very hard to see in the environment and without it being a hotspot it is easily missed.
Is this the way the first one was played? | |

| Anyone that has played Gray Matter care to give an opinion. I played the demo and it seemed kinda slow moving....... | |

| If I were grading Gray Matter on my experience - Spoiler:
I would give it "B" . Better than a lot of the newer releases that have come from the big box developers but not an epic adventure, just a good one. Worth a try.

| GreyFuss I will try to answer your question. - Spoiler:
Yes it seems that there is little direction at first. I think the direction and what you are doing will become a little easier when you get a little more into the disappearance of Anita's brother.
Have you tried changing the brightness in options ? It makes seeing the items much easier. If you miss some important dialog go back to a previous save play up to the point you missed save and save again right after the part you missed. Be sure to save your game before you go back to a previous save. Yes this is pretty much the way the first one was played. hatshepsut | |

| Mr. GreyFuss... You need to slow down... looks as if you already played and finished Black Mirror 3  Make them last .... eat an adventure player in-between. | |

| I now have a stack of 4 games to play: Gray Matter, Alter Ego, Black Mirror 2 and 3. Unfortunately, I'm not too enthused about any of them. Think I will start with Black Mirror 2 later today. I remember trying to play the first Black Mirror only to have the game crash on me, followed a few minutes later by my computer biting the dust. Happening so close together, I've often wondered if there was some connection between the two, but probably it was just a coincidence. Whatever it was, I hope I have better luck with the 2 new Black Mirror games. | |

| Ang....
Such a lovely reminder and tribute to Trudysgarden (aka C as I referred to her). We lost such a wonderful soul and spirit way too soon. She's probably yucking it up with the angels as we speak in her impeccable irreverent style!
Thanks, Ang....

| Sence I don't have much time now, I'm playing a series of mini online adventure games called Reincarnation. They are really funny and make me laugh. After that I will probably be playing Edna & Harvey The Breakout. I heard a lot about how great this game is. | |

| So, I have finally finished playing Black Mirror 2 only to find out it is not the end, but more like the beginning to Black Mirror 3. Lucky for me that I bought both games. Black Mirror 2 was more work than fun for me, but with lots of walkthrough help (Thanks to MaG and Rushes!) I was able to finish it. The game was interesting, all in all, and worth playing, so I can see why so many gamers like it, but it just wasn't my favorite kind of game. But then I didn't think it would be, so I wasn't disappointed. Now on to Black Mirror 3 to see what the ending it all about. Curiosity is my middle name! | |

| Black Mirror II was a big chore for me to finish too. It wasn't a fun game to me either.
I'm now playing Black Mirror III. Hopefully it will tie the Black Mirror story together.

| Played more as Faust in Jazz and Faust. I was at the palace earlier today having disguised myself as the sultan so I could take Louisa away from her bad situation with the real sultan (btw, Louisa loves me more than the sultan). What games are you guys playing these days? | |
