Gray Skies, Dark Waters will have you acting as Lina Garrett, a young woman whose mother has gone missing without a trace over a year before. Determined to get some answers and closure, she sets out, and with your help, will navigate the stories of the locals, and the twisted storyline of what happened to her mom.
Gray Skies, Dark Waters will follow Lina throughout a small Virginia town, seeking clues. you’ll control her, point & click style, as you find townsfolk who may have leads, as well as items that might point to answers. However, the game will not do all of the legwork in putting the case together, as you will receive various endings based on your behavior throughout the game. Will you receive an ending where you don’t get any answer because you messed up the case?
The game draws from old folklore, adding a touch of the supernatural to its criminal proceedings as well, and making it that much harder to find out what happened. Still, one can’t leave Lina without some conclusion, so players who love complex stories, tales of family coming together despite difficult times, and a narrative that shifts as the player explores it will want to come to her aid.
Gray Skies, Dark Waters is available for $ 6.99 on Steam. For more information on the game and developer Green Willow Games, you can head to the game’s site or follow them on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
