About the Game

Graham is alone in a forest filled with strange wolves. While he’s fleeing for his life he finds a lost girl in an abandoned lodge that won’t survive without his help. Try to find their way to safety in this game filled with puzzles, engaging dialogue and innovative storyline.

But watch out: not everything is what it seems.

A cinematic slow burn thriller with some psychological horror elements told through the classic perspective of point & click adventure games. The Night is Grey is about modern storytelling fused together with hand-drawn animated characters, fully animated backgrounds and an original studio recorded music score.

TRADITIONAL FRAME BY FRAME CHARACTER ANIMATION

Character animations were painstakingly drawn frame by frame. Each animation is 12 frames per second, giving it that classical 2D animations feel.

DIGITALLY PAINTED ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS

Over 50 different locations were painted by hand and individually rearranged and animated, resulting in animated panoramic backgrounds that will suck you in.

FULLY ORIGINAL AND ORCHESTRATED MUSIC SCORE

Our soundtrack was purposefully created to amplify the game's storytelling. All tracks were recorded in studio with different compositions that make the songs dynamic throughout the game.
