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.

I love how this game just throws you in without any idea of what's it about, and what you're goal is. I love the concept to, its either related to religion or politics, but its more of politics in my opinion. There is ALWAYS those two parties who trash one another, while there is that one party that is RARELY noticed by anybody, and they are the ones with the best ideas.
We realize after switching back and forth from those two parties who trash each other constantly, we turn to that one party that is never listened to. You preach there ideas, but nobody UNDERSTANDS, no one LISTENS, no one CARES.
I love the game, the concept, going to my favourites! 5/5

I believe this is the closest any video game has ever come to being true poetry. It's deceptively simple, subversive, and instills in the player an exquisite feeling of both pensivity and melancholy. Truly beautiful.

Also, it's easy to lose track of yourself if you are part of a group, as it becomes harder and harder to notice yourself as you gain more and more followers. However, it is hardest to find yourself when you are the gray person surrounded by a sea of radicalism and extremism. Just adding to the philosophy.

Goes to show that barely anyone can accept absolute uncertainty is it?
I find a lot of people (but for sure not everybody) only want answers and subconciously can not take a slight bit of uncertainty. eg. we can not know what will happen to our conciousness after we die. But some people insist there is an afterlife (heaven), reinarnation, loss of conciousness etc.

Life is all about balance...
If only people weren't so extreme. It's like they get angry because they can't find balance, and channel their aggression onto those who disagree with them.
Why? They just don't know any better..

Figured it out..
Good game, the discussion on the boards is interesting. I need to show this to my sister - she doesn't believe videogames can be emotionally compelling...
