About Crimson Gray
John is a young man suffering from severe depression. As he loses his sense of purpose in life, he begins to see the world in unfocused gray. Just when he begins to lose all hope, John meets a girl... a very special girl.
Though Lizzie appears affectionate and devoted, it quickly becomes clear that she's so violent and unstable that a normal boy would run away from her. But when John sees her, he sees someone else suffering from a mental condition. John is willing to risk his safety for a chance to help Lizzie gain some mental stability. Lizzie is willing to murder everyone in school if she believes it would make him happy.
Your every choice will impact both characters' mental states, changing their fate. John might reject Lizzie, succumb to his depression, or die violently. Lizzie might lose control and ruin her chances, or become obsessed with shadowy conspiracies that may or may not exist. Or just maybe the two of them might be exactly what the other needs, and their story could end in happiness...

*Slams fist on ground.* GRAAH! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! NOT HIM! IT'S NOT FAAAAAAAAIR!!!2 found this helpful
[h2]"I Can Fix Her"[/h2] [i]Crimson Gray[/i] is probably the best yandere visual novel out there. With its dark atmosphere, well-written characters, captivating story, multiple endings, eerie music, this game has it all for those people looking to get their yandere fix. There are many choices to be made that will take you down a variety of paths. I love the uncertainty you feel with every choice, as it feels like literally anything could happen with these characters. What an incredible read this was... If I could experience it again knowing nothing about it, I absolutely would, 100 times over. Even if yanderes aren't really your thing, I'd still strongly recommend this for people who enjoy a dark, character-driven story.1 found this helpful
Pretty interesting psychological-thriller-slash-romance visual novel, with some clever branching, and some really nice art. One playthrough won't take very long, but there's a lot of replayability to try different choices and see all the possible endings (and ends) you can come to.
You can think about this game like a yandere dating visual novel, or you can think about it as a story of dealing with chronic mental health issues. If you relate to either of those, certain lines may... hit hard.
good good good good visual novel love it
Crimson Gray is a visual novel about a high school student with high functioning depression named John. One day he decides to stick up for Lizzie a girl at his school who is deemed a social outcast. Immediately after this John notices Lizzie has become obsessed with him. Depending on your choice for Johns reason to get involved with this girl, he either deserves the ending he gets or doesn't. Personally I greatly enjoyed my time with Crimson Gray. It was short, but intense. For the record there are nsfw scenes in this game that can be patched in. I didn't do this because I wasn't interested. The only thing I disliked about the story was the subplot with the pharmaceutical company. It felt unnecessary and silly. Buy it on sale if you get the chance!
