Alternative Magazine Online has covered point-and-click adventure game Gray Matter extensively since its release earlier this year. In my review of the game, I proclaimed it as “one of the finest adventure games I have ever played.” I then went on to interview creator Jane Jensen, as well as soundtrack composer Robert Holmes, before finally catching up with Samantha Everett voice actress Phillipa Alexander! To conclude our coverage of the game, AMO is proud to present an exclusive video unboxing of the German collector’s edition, sent to us by our friends at dtp entertainment all the way from Germany!
