Shades of Gray

by Mark Baker, Steve Bauman, Belisana, Mike Laskey, Judith Pintar, Cindy Yans, and Hercules

Surreal, Historical
1992

About the Story

You wake painfully, from a fitful sleep, to find yourself surrounded by three shadowy figures… After a horrible dizzying moment, the shapes come into focus — vampires, they are vampires, and they are nonchalantly discussing your fate… The swarthy one wants to kill you out of hand. The second argues against. ‘He has tasted blood. He’s one of us now….’

The original Shades of Gray: An Adventure in Black and White, written in AGT was released in 1992, and updated in 1997.

SPAG
[...] a somewhat political, occasionally difficult, *extremely* well-written game which deals with the past, present, and future of Haiti. Beyond that I can say no more without spoiling the excellent plot, but take my word for it -- Shades of Grey is a game not to be missed. (Molley the Mage)

The use of seven authors leads to a rather segmented design, but linearity serves the story well. The individual episodes vary in style and quality (both in the writing and the overall design), yet somehow this creates the effect of many pieces coming together. And the whole of "Shades of Grey" is far, far more than the sum of the parts. (Christopher E. Forman)

There is a lot of hokum about you needing to rediscover your memory of things past, but I didn't feel it was worth the effort of trying to follow this plot. The American fascination with the Robin Hood legend rears its head once (or twice) again, and I sometimes wish that they would pick on another character or era from English History.
