Simply. Complex. Wonderful.

Such a great story. Characters and bits of the world are framed and the rest is fleshed out with gameplay in a way that traditional stories can't. I wish the text interaction was a little more snappy and that it all fit on my iPhone 6 screen. Made things a little tedious on the bigger pages. I'd love to hear why the visual style is so different than blackbar. Is there some sort of Lucasonian explanation or is it just a desire to be minimal? Great stuff as always!
Not that fun, music is annoying

Mildly interesting and definitely unique, but it's just not that fun to play. The interface could be a lot easier (why can't you drag words to reposition them?) and the music can't be muted. I guess I was expecting more of an "experience" rather than a game of making awkward sentences.
Unique

What an amazing way to tell a story! I loved it, although I did have a little frustration because responses had to be exact ("yeah sure" and "yeah right" should be interchangeable, for example) but mostly it was challenging and satisfying.
Excellent successor/precursor to Blackbar

A tour de force of storytelling through both words and not-words.
An achievement in interactive fiction

This game is incredible at delivering words that are not only cleverly written but also presented in a brilliant way that makes the player personally undergo a miniaturized version of the protagonist's struggle. It's more puzzle than choose-your-own-adventure, but you will feel more empathy for the lead character than you would in other "interactive fiction". Grayout's greatest achievement is its incredibly successful marriage of mechanics and theme.
A wonderful example of what a game can be

This game captures the beauty of word usage and the frustration one can have when words escape us.
