Gray Matter Preview

New trailer for Jane Jensen’s Gray Matter

Game designer Jane Jensen is probably best known in casual game circles for her work on I-play’s Women’s Murder Club. Her upcoming project Gray Matter is her first point-and-click adventure game since the Gabriel Knight series. A brand new trailer for the game was recently shown off at Gamescom 2010 that reveals more of how the game will look and play when it launches later this year.

You can also visit the official Gray Matter website for more goodies, including concept art and profiles of the two main characters, Samantha Everett and David Styles. Styles, a neurobiologist, has become a recluse ever since his wife’s death and rarely leaves his English manor, Dread Hill House. When he hires Samantha, a student and street performer, as his new assistant, strange supernatural incidents start happening.

Here’s more from the website:

[Samantha’s] first task is to find six volunteers from Oxford University to take part in one of Dr. Styles’ experiments. The experiment begins harmlessly enough, but a series of inexplicable incidents is soon set in motion, while Styles is haunted by his beloved dead wife. It’s now up to Sam to solve the mysteries of Dread Hill House.

Gray Matter will be launching for PC and Xbox 360 in fall, 2010. If you’d like to be notified when this game is released, be sure to set an alert!
