GAME REVIEW – The Night Is Grey (PC)

By Marty Mulrooney

The Night Is Grey is a 2D point-and-click adventure game developed by Whalestork Interactive, a five-person team based in Portugal.

Alternative Magazine Online reviewed Burnhouse Lane earlier this year, describing it as ‘a wonderful horror adventure that is quite frankly unmissable for those who loved the Devil Came Through Here trilogy.’ As a longtime fan of Harvester Games and The Cat Lady, Downfall: Redux and Lorelai, I have followed Remigiusz Michalski’s career for well over a decade now and he is yet to disappoint.
