New English Demo for Gray Matter

The animations are annoying i mean in the demo you find the rabbit and she picks it up by the ears (how cruel!!) but worse still the animation is so poorly done she isn't even touching the rabbit as it is picked up. And when pouring the water even tho you hear the sound of pouring before shes even got it at such an angle where it would start pouring. Then theirs the water bottle for the cage is just so tacky.

The characters animation on bottom of screen, the faces are sooo fat its not nice to look at at all.

The ambient sound is alright tho and music tho the music drowned out what the women in the intro vid was saying as she rang the buzzer so unless u had subtitles on u wouldn't have known what she said.

About the intro as well, i find it lazy in its animation or lack their of. Things just glided like the bike when its curving and i thought god how [blip] is that how lazy too.

The nice things i can say is the gfx are colourful if a little weird on the models in the scene due to transparency antialising not working in the game (forced to in nvidia panel) which is a shame. The story might be interesting from the bit i played (stopped when i switched to the bloke). I liked the rabbit stuff but animations ruined the immersion for me.

So first impressions, potential but alot of graphical issues to be fixed imo before i even think about buying it.

Edit - Ah forgot to comment on the voice over work. From the little i played to get a first impression, the voices were nice well that of Sam. She sounded ok. The bloke which i heard just a line or two from sounded ok.

I was shocked and dismayed and so disappointed with graphics and storyline. Voices were done exceptionally well. Graphics are outdated even compared to Collectors Edition of IHOG. Where is the suspense?
Where is the spooky feeling there was none in my opinion. I did not like the magic trick part, I did not like the riddle parts.

My favorite game was Sins of the father. The voodoo in it was suspenseful and Gabriel Knight had a sense of humour. There is no sense of humour between the characters.

The animation was terrible many times. I can't stand to hear the woman eat as she stands up and never sits down and makes noises while she eats. No woman that I know eats like that. Not even men make that much noise.

I cringed when I saw her pick the rabbit up by the bunny's ears! The bunny looks giant in the cage.

I am sorry but there is so much wrong with this game in my opinion the truth is I found it boring. I Watched the walkthru to see if I was misjudging it, and I don't feel that I am.

13th skull was more exciting in my opinion or Lost Chronicles of Salem, or Redemption Cemetery and these are just Casual games but at least I couldn't stop playing them and bought them because they held my interest.

It would have been great if she would have stayed with Gabriel Knight and kept the same relationship with Grace and used updated Graphics. She was a genius when she wrote the script for those games.

Well Skeeter just to let you know I agree with what you wrote and just had to vent my disappointment. Sad to say I will not be buying this game. The storyline had so much potentiality to be a spooky one. We could have used ghost busting equipment like in the Lost Crown.

Suspense added like people disappearing being murdered by ghost. Black Mirror 2 was a better game and I will buy Black Mirror 3. This had suspense and surprises. Now I am back to having no game I am excited about releasing, something suspenseful and spooky feeling to it with mystery. Not a HOG but adventure game. Thanks for listening to me vent my disappointment and I do hope she goes back to Gabriel Knight with Grace again. [spoiler]
