About this game
Story
Grayson is the 12-year-old son of great British inventor, Joseph Swan. An intelligent if lonely child, he lives a sheltered life within their family home in Newcastle, with a devoted pet mouse as his only true companion.
For reasons unclear to him, Joseph forces Grayson to move in with his estranged aunty and uncle, somewhere in the Yorkshire countryside. All is peaceful, for a time, until a letter arrives, one that triggers a series of events that thrust Grayson and the mouse out into the world, all by themselves.
Together, they set forth on a perilous journey through the north-east of Victorian England, solving challenging puzzles along the way and confronting hidden truths that force Grayson to explore what home really means.
Key Features
- A warm but melancholic tale designed to be played snuggled up by candlelight.
