this is a very moving meaningful game. fighting against something and then chaging your mind, people get fustrated when they play this game and it sort of means something.

It seems like political parties here in the USA. There are rarely 2 people of the same party elected in a row because everyone thinks the new president will solve all their problems, but when he doesn't do all of the amazing things he/she said he/she would, everyone swaps parties thinking that the other candidate will solve their problems. then when the man/woman in the game goes gray, he realizes what is going on and leaves the political parties(becomes an independent voter or joins a third party), but noone wants to join him.

"Everyone! Let's all vote for Black party!"
Later: "Everyone! Let's all vote for White party!"
Even later: "Everyone! Let's all be equal! ..."

the game comments on how society always falls for the false dichotomy fallacy, and that they're never open to listen for the middle ground.

For anyone that is too lazy to actually play this game and figure out what you are supposed to do, here: You are supposed to release the soundwave thing at the same time as the person you are opposing. Do this enough and the entire screen will be filled with your team members. Then you will change to the opposite one. And then repeat. If you do this a number of times (mine was 3 or 4, but it might be randomized) you will change gray, and your soundwave things will be useless. Shortly after the screen will fade to gray, and say the end.

And that's how one guy with identity crisis made a whole city running around in panic.
So what's the message? There is no "Evil" or "Good"? Or more like: "Perfect equilibrium can only be archived in an endless battle of Ying vs. Yang."? Or is it more in the "don't be crowd, don't follow" direction?

Wouldn't this game be hilarious if people thought it had deep thoughts about life, when really it was just a game someone threw together

Yay everybody is on my side :) Oh wait, the white side is giving free donuts to anyone who joins them (switches sides)

terriffic game, shows in such a meaningful way that the thing you fight for passionately may just leave one day, and how the only thing that doesn't change is change itself

I find it really interesting how it takes more soundwaves at first to convince the opposing masses, then as more people begin to follow the idea it takes less waves. Also if you don't do anything for some time, you begin to fade away and the waves you produce don't make any effect on the other people's waves. A really interesting concept, good job.

My interpretation on this game is that people will listen to you and may change their mind, but, if you are neutral, then people ignore you. You don't have a say on either side because you don't support one or the other.

Gray is really a game that is meant to show that extremists only pay attention to extremists. A man spends his entire life fighting for an issue, changing his mind about it, fighting on different sides maybe, and one day, he decides to become a moderate. However, those arguments, unfortunately, don't sway anyone's opinion, and the moderate is left to fade into the background.

i know the meaning! by timing what you say with what other people say, you can change their skin colour, but no matter what you do, they will never stop raging about with signs! i'm SO gonna try this!

Great game. So glad I continued playing until the end. Moral is all there when becoming gray and trying to talk to both sides.

This isserious buisness. I love it. I always look for games with tags like: "art" and "philosophical". Truly dep game. :)

I just noticed that all the other characters are just fighting against one another instead of actually trying to solve the issue. Our character is the only one who actually wants to have a conversation on the topic. In the end, everyone ends up becoming so polarised that no one is willing to listen to one another because they think they are right and there are forcing themselves to fight regardless of whether they are actually right or not.

@ArmaM The game is not supposed to be possible to win, when people reach something better than either of the two major things no one wants to listen to what they have to say.

People are weird.
"Hey guys, let's run that way!"
"Okay, let's go!"
"Oh wait, I changed my mind, run that way!"
"Okay!"
"Oh no, better go that way!"
"Okay!"

Oh riiight, when you reach the 'middle ground', you are no longer 'oppositional'.
Great teaching game! This could definitely be expanded on in many ways. :)
Thank you!

This game is about hipsters.
As soon as he realizes it's mainstream he changes his mind.
Then people start following that, he gets mad because what he just liked is mainstream AGAIN and then he hipsters some more.
