Um ... Yes. The Game is kind of very upsetting. It seems To point to the very strange Story, which is somehow disturbing (you will hear the Word even more often). So, there are 4 or 5 (I don't think of it) Characters. And then there's a Chain Smoker like that. And this then makes you old. And then you can decide how to find it. Suddenly you are a Local Resident of this City and experience disturbing Things. For every Attitude to being old, there is a Character. And each of them experiences disturbing Things. At the End of almost any Storyline, you can decide whether the Character should die or not. That was the whole Game. I don't know if I should hate my Mate or love that he gave me the Game.

"Greyfox" is a small RPG Maker game about Aging.
We are a young Woman, unhappy with our Lives, our annoying Work in the Big City and with the Overall Situation. So we leave everything behind and move to a quiet little town, to a retirement Town or even a Retirement Town called Greyfox. Here, heaps of quirky and strange Types run around. After finding accommodation, we suddenly wake up in a strange Room. A mysterious Woman talks to us. We look in the Mirror ... We are old, our Hair is grey. And then we slip into four small Stories, experience existential Situations of four Seniors up close. We decide on the respective Outcome ...
"Greyfox" is thematically unusual, grown-up, unvarnished. It's about Grief, Dementia, Quirkiness, Loss, Murder and dying. Hence that old People are locked up in Homes or even feel locked up. That Is, whether Suicide Is not also a justifiable Way Out. However: The Lyrics are direct, short, often miss Depth and Complexity. It is precisely this Simplicity that helps ensure that the Game does not sink into Thoughtfulness and stop. Due to the Scarcity, Situations often become absurdly funny, surprising and interesting.
Game Mechanical, everything is solidly simple. You control People or Objects on small Sections that you can then interact with. You talk with psychologically drifted or collect Dog heaps on Green Spaces.
The Graphics are RPG makers typical with very nice Details. Simple but functional. There is no Synchronization. The Sounds are very rudimentary, the Music you will soon turn off very dusty.
"Greyfox" is short With one to two hours of play, but there is a Replay value due to the Decision-making Possibilities within the four Stories.
"Greyfox" is entertaining and a thoroughly unusual and exciting Approach to engaging with an unpopular subject. "Greyfox" has always been Creative, Wit and Ironic, but sometimes seems a bit unstringent told. I don't want to miss the Game experience, playing it one more time, I won't be able to get upset.
