Grayout for Negative User Reviews

Good story, not really a game.I loved Blackbar, so gave Grayout a whirl, too. The story is wonderful; it places you in a chilling dystopian scenario with sadistic keepers and little hope of escape. I enjoyed it. But as for gameplay, there’s not much here. The only “puzzle” comes from trying to figure out what the game designers thought my responses to other characters ought to be. And if the game designers thought, for example, that I ought to respond “That’s the right answer” then saying “That is correct” or “You’re right” or “That is right” or “You’re not wrong there” or even “That is the right answer” won’t be accepted by the game. I understand they wanted me to experience the frustration of helplessness and aphasia. But this is just the frustration of pure guessing, like randomly trying numbers on a bike lock until it opens. There’s never the delighted feeling you get when you finally figure out a puzzle based on cleverly hidden clues. There are barely any hidden / contextual clues to discover. The rest is just moving words around until you guess right..Version: 1.0.2

Interesting concept but short and sometimes irritatingI applaud the designers for this unique idea, but I found the “right” sentences were not always logical, or other possibilities that were equally valid — e.g. “Yeah sure” instead of “Yeah right”—were not accepted. And the game is very short for the money..Version: 1.0.3

DumbIt’s a guessing game that has no logic. Just read the story on google and save yourself feeling annoyed you spent money on this.Version: 1.0.2

Not as good as BlackbarThis is easily better than most app games but that is a low bar. I downloaded this after having loved Blackbar but this was too easy and the challenges felt incredibly redundant. The key to solving many of the puzzles was often trial and error rather than a comprehension of the puzzle's rules and mechanics. I felt myself wishfully thinking it would get more difficult but after less than 48hrs I have completed the game..Version: 1.0.2

Way too shortLike its predecessor, blackbar, this is a great dystopian tale wrapped in a novel puzzle... but gameplay is way too short.Version: 1.0

Not a recommendation of mineLogic isn’t great from clue to clue. No ability for hints, not really great leading. It ended up being mostly a waste of time and I’m deleting it without finishing because I’m so bored with it..Version: 1.0.2

I can see why you might like it, but I didn'tThe story didn't grip me enough, and the puzzles I just found irritating as there were too many good answers that weren't the right answers. It may be you like this kind of puzzle. I did however like the concept, and visual execution of the puzzle & story..Version: 1.0

Utter rubbish / maybe brokenWhat a waste of time and money..Version: 1.0.3

Love the ideaBut there needs to be some kind of hint system. I’ve been stuck on the same “level” for hours unable to get it right. If it at leas gave the first word I might be able to steer it into the right direction but there are so many different sentences you can make with all the words given to you. I don’t want to look it up either and just be spoon fed the right answer..Version: 1.0.2

Quirky but not satisfyingThis felt like a waste of time and just didn't deliver on the concept. For me it was a complete waste of time..Version: 1.0.2

Less than an hour of gameplayA very interesting concept, but the story is lazy, as it seems most of the effort went into the word play (which was often clever). Beyond that, it provided less than an hour of gameplay. To be fair, that may be because I had to look up instructions online. Not answers: instructions. The game provided none. Do I use all the words? Am I supposed to form grammatically correct sentences or just whatever gets my message across? Even with instructions, it was difficult to know what I was trying to say, what my response was supposed to be. Maybe I missed something, but this game was not worth the price it asks for. Bonus points for mentioning a polyamorous relationship though, I guess..Version: 1.0.3

ConfusingWould have made a great dystopia short story but as a word game not so good. I found the game awkward. I didn't enjoy it. But the story was great!.Version: 1.0.2

Bad DesignThe app still does not support the iPhone X and has very few design elements. Changing it to support it would be easy. Dev is either unskilled or lazy..Version: 1.0.2

I don’t get it.This is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. I have no idea how it got so many glowing reviews. The answers to the puzzles are completely arbitrary and oftentimes make zero sense. Do not recommend..Version: 1.0.2

Cool Premise, just a guessing gameThere's no logic or "game" feel to it. You just have to guess what words are supposed to go up there. It would be better if it told you how lose to being right you were but you get no feedback until you've somehow guessed the right combo..Version: 1.0.2

An exercise in frustrationThe premise sounded great but actually playing the game is not much more than a frustrating guessing game. The idea is that you are waking up as a patient in a hospital with limited verbal ability and you must express yourself using just the words made available to you. The game is very inflexible in what is considered valid input which turned a promising game into a frustrating one. I would enter phrases that were complete and fit in with the question asked and it wouldn't be accepted. It's sad, too, because it seems like a lot of work was put into making it an engaging story. I just couldn't become immersed in it when I kept getting reminded of the fact that it's just a dumb computer that has a limited set of valid input..Version: 1.0.2

AvoidStarts out well. Until context starts to shift and you’re left with dozens of possibilities where only one is deemed correct. Goes from challenging to tedious surprisingly quickly..Version: 1.0.2

Well written but brokenAm interesting world and concept and I liked Blackbar- unfortunately there’s a game breaking bug that makes it impossible to progress past the (irritatingly obscure) “waiting for godot” reference. I checked a couple of walkthroughs, the “correct” answer doesn’t work, impossible to move forward....Version: 1.0.2

Too restrictiveI loved the idea of playing with language and the challenge of expressing thoughts using limited words. I hated trying to guess the RIGHT thing to say - what the game expected. Developers: this would be really cool to experiment with some AI and language parsing - a kind of double-sided Turing test.Version: 1.0.2

Pretentious nonsenseNo real gameplay and very little story. Wish I could get my money back but please don't spend yours!.Version: 1.0

Not that fun, music is annoyingMildly interesting and definitely unique, but it's just not that fun to play. The interface could be a lot easier (why can't you drag words to reposition them?) and the music can't be muted. I guess I was expecting more of an "experience" rather than a game of making awkward sentences..Version: 1.0

Too shortThis game was intriguing, and it did start to grip me, but ultimately it’s way too short and low-tech for a paid-for experience. Had it been free, I would have rated it a four, maybe. Creative, and some lovely word play and imagery. But just nowhere near enough of it. The story had just got exciting and it ended. Waste of money, for me..Version: 1.0.3
