'Gray Matter' (ALL) Picked Up By Viva Media, Gets Dated

by Rainier on Jan. 11, 2011 @ 3:35 p.m. PST

Designed by Gabriel Knight 3's Jane Jensen, Gray Matter is an epic adventure game with a story that mixes eerie mysteries with supernatural events.

Jane Jensen is back: Gray Matter will be the first adventure by the famous genre author since the release of Gabriel Knight 3. Staying true to the Jensen-style, the story interweaves gruesome incidences and supernatural events.

Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker commented, “We are thrilled to work with DTP entertainment to bring this long anticipated release to North America.  DTP’s International Sales Director Michael Kalina further commented, “The game is the brain child of one of the most gifted adventure game designers, Jane Jensen.  We are very excited to see it find its way to North America with Viva Media.”

Neuro-biologist Dr. David Styles is one of the main characters in the game: Ever since losing his wife in a terrible car accident many years ago, he has become a recluse, leaving his English mansion Dread Hill House only on rare occasions.

One day student and street artist Samantha Everett shows up on his door step unexpectedly, at a time Styles just happens to look for a new assistant. Sam gets the job. Coming from America, she has been travelling most of Europe for the last few years, so she can really use the money. Her first assignment involves finding six volunteers for an experiment planned by Styles at Oxford University.

The experiment begins harmless enough, but soon strange things start happening. Styles is visited by his beloved, but deceased wife. Now it is up to Sam to solve the mysteries of Dread Hill House.

In Gray Matter, the player takes control of Dr. David Styles as well as Samantha Everett as they are trying to unveil the secrets and find the truth.
