The Night Is Grey is a 2D point-and-click adventure game developed by Whalestork Interactive, a five-person team based in Portugal. As the first game developed by the studio, it’s nothing if not ambitious; featuring hand-drawn characters animated at 12 frames per second (the same framerate as the original Broken Sword), with over 50 digitally painted, fully animated panoramic backgrounds, this is an indie game that immediately stands out from the crowd with its striking visual presentation.
