The last few days I’ve been replaying Gray Matter, designed by the incredible Jane Jensen. With its story playing out in Oxford, we are treated to a slightly stylized map of the historical city centre. Although I must admit I’m not all that crazy about the way the locations are incorporated in the map, I am highly charmed by the fact that the map is actually highly true to Oxford’s real city centre (yes, I ‘Google Mapped’ it).
I happened to play this on Xbox 360 (back when you could rent games through LoveFilm). I really enjoyed the story but some of the puzzles had crazy moon logic meaning I had to resort to a guide at times.

That is exactly how I remembered it! But having replayed the game, I actually thought the puzzles were relatively easy and straightforward. That is, up until the very last part where you have to find your way through this ridiculous maze-like cellar of the Daedalus club… 🙂

Yep. That was the bit! And it went on far longer than necessary. Art style was lovely though.
