Grey Lucidity is a horror visual novel made by Miracle Gates Entertainment. The story follows Cassandra’s story as she struggles to survive in Roseberry Town, a place consumed by a mysterious virus and dark secrets lurking. Let’s check it out!
Dark Secrets
In this world, there’s always something strange hiding behind places that may seem peaceful. And that’s exactly what happens in Grey Lucidity. The story takes place in Roseberry Town, a small and lively city that once seemed calm, but hides a tragic secret behind its hospital.
It all began with a secret project from a pharmaceutical company that was meant to create a cure for diseases. But instead, they unleashed a deadly virus by accident. The infection made residents lose control, behave strangely, and be labeled as possessed by the remaining townsfolk. In no time, the entire city became cursed and abandoned.
From here onwards, you’ll follow the story of Cassandra, a young girl trying to survive alone in a world that has already fallen apart. Think of the premises as Resident Evil or maybe other survival horror like Silent Hill, but in visual novel format.
Cassandra’s Journey
You’ll play as Cassandra Brigham, the daughter of a lead scientist involved in the secret experiment. Her father was trying to develop a vaccine for the spreading virus, and Cassandra became the first test subject of it. Because of that, she had to hide from the authorities who wanted to take control of the situation.
After months in hiding, she finally leaves her shelter and begins her adventure in exploring the deserted city. The streets of Roseberry Town are filled with traces of past lives, echoes of memories, and fragments of truth waiting to be uncovered. The story unfolds through visual novel narration combined with cinematic comic style panels, making every scene feel immersive and chilling.
What’s interesting is that Grey Lucidity doesn’t just have one ending. Your choices decide Cassandra’s fate, will she escape the city, or maybe she will become part of the same nightmare? You can replay the game and try different routes, each revealing unexpected plot twists along the way.

The Tension That Lurks
Visually, Grey Lucidity has a strong and consistent art direction. Its dim colors, minimal lighting, and eerie town design create a deeply tense atmosphere.
If you enjoy horror games that have that spot on atmosphere with enough amount of jumpscares, this one’s perfect for you. The background music and sound effects greatly enhance the tension whenever Cassandra walks down a hallway or opens a door that hides something unknown.
Even though the game’s scale and length are relatively small, Miracle Gates Entertainment still manages to craft a world that feels rich and mysterious. The game focuses more on story and emotion rather than complex gameplay mechanics, and that’s exactly what makes it shine.
