The real strength of Gray Dawn lies far from its decent controls, its ability to run economically on a PC whilst looking amazing, and its employment of psychological horror tropes to get your heart rate up. The proof is all in the Christianity-flavoured pudding. I have never played any other game quite like this which uses all the trappings of religion in a way that subverts our everyday conceptions of it.

Gray Dawn is a very special horror, with valid ideas but also with a gameplay that sometimes it's really too simple.

Gray Dawn has a broader appeal than might be expected, precisely because it isn’t your standard horror title. It creates an amazing atmosphere and gripping suspense without using (too many) clichés, and the slow, well-paced progression creates a unique feel with great appeal.

With a well-written and quite interesting story this indie Walking Simulator/ Horror game features a subject rarely seen on video games (that of the Eastern Christian Church) and delivers an atmospheric journey to the supernatural.

Grey Dawn tells the compelling story of a young priest devoured by his distorted inner world. It uses religious imaginary and blasphemy to convey the struggle he's facing, adding a backstory of an alleged murder. Too bad it is too easy and offers bizarre gameplay solutions.

‘Tis the season to be seriously creeped out and yet equally enthralled by the religious themes and beautiful, imaginative world in Gray Dawn.

Gray Dawn is true to its description of being a psychological thriller with religious elements, but it can’t seem to focus in on which religious elements it wants to portray.
