Grayout

Neven Mrgan and James Moore have revealed that a sequel to their terrific censorship saga Blackbar is coming soon to iPhone and iPad.

It's called Grayout, it's set in a "medial dystopia", and it revolves around a medical condition called aphasia, which can rob you of your ability to communicate.

You play Alaine, a rebelious resident of the totalitarian community called The Neighborhood, who wakes up in a hospital research lab following an accident… "or so she is told".

The dev duo is being deliberately coy with details, but says the game will "simulate the experience of having a word on the tip of your tongue, the frustration of knowing what you mean but not how to say it".

And while it's a successor to Blackbar, it has "its own story, its own vibe, and its own game mechanic".

It should pop up on the App Store later this week - fingers crossed.
