Fun but easy and short

I enjoyed this up to a point. But, there was no real escalation and it was over in about an hour. Mildly entertaining.

Short, without the promised deep plot

I got through the whole thing in 90 minutes, counting a puzzle I gave up on and googled; call it 2 hours. Thats $1.50 an hour, which I think is steep, judge for yourself. The "political" story isnt there, unless you count "dystopian repression = bad" as food for thought. The society is unchanged at the end, major tragedies (and the characters on whom they befall) come and go in three pages, theres one major plot twist that is never explained, and another that is inexplicable. Id like to back it up with examples, but I wont inflict spoilers on readers who might want to give it a try anyway. Because if you like word puzzles and can get past the merely-decorative plot, you should consider this game. The screenshots give a fair impression of what you can expect.

Stuck on title page and wont go any further

I bought the game on the 5th Jan 2016. Opened the title page and promptly was stuck there. Loads of frustrated tapping later, the app just crashed. I closed down all my other apps and tried again. Same result. There goes $2.99 :(

Meh

It was an okay game. I liked how unique it was, and it was exactly as advertised. However, it got a little hard to follow in some places and it wasnt nearly long enough to justify the $2.99.

5 Stars

A very good game, though a little short. The story is very intriguing, definitely worth 5 stars! Its a new and innovative idea, I absolutely recommend this game.

Horrible

This game is definitely not worth paying for. It is literally just a game about guessing what words go in the blank. Completely pointless, and extremely short. Also, I didnt appreciate the bad language either. I dont usually waste my time writing reviews for games, but I didnt want someone else suckered out of $3 like I was. Go buy yourself a pack of gum or a book; anything but this game!

Great, few things though

1.at the end, it says "thank you for playing gray out" 2.there is no way to restart the game

AMAZING game.

If somebody says this is just a fill in the blank game, they are out of their minds. The story is genius and riveting, and the puzzles take extreme amounts of skill and knowledge. Amazingly done.

Thoughtful and fun

This was a great game. Thoughtful, fun and at times challenging. The most engaging game Ive played on iOS for a while.

really great

really great

Not worth the ca$h money.

Im only giving it one more star because of the initial dystopian intrigue. Otherwise, I found most of the puzzles way too easy, others completely without context and therefore impossible to solve, and holy hell is it short. Anticlimactic doesnt begin to cover the letdown. I really feel like it was a waste of my money. Dont do it.

deAr fRieNd,

Not worth it.

This isnt really a puzzle. Youre just guessing what words are in the black bars. The first page is a little tricky, but the rest were easy. And there was no system or reason to what words were behind the black bars. It got old quick, and I just quit. Its the start of a cool idea that just doesnt have enough layers to it.

AMAZING

it was a very short, but fun and challenging game, I enjoyed the whole thing. It was interesting finding out what was going to happen next. I wonder if I should check out any of the other games...

Not ----- the money

I feel burned. Total waste of time and Three dollars.

Well written, thoughtful game

This game feels like a novel. I dont want to ruin it for any new players, but I would say this is one of my favorite games to come out on the App Store. The puzzles are clever and somewhat challenging, and the writing is
