samantha everett (gray matter)
Special guest: Superion as Dr. David Styles
DESCRIPTION:
I always enjoy proposing unusual or uncommon characters, so I don't expect you all to know who is Samantha Everett, protagonist of "Gray Matter" (a beautiful graphic adventure released years ago for Steam and Xbox 360). Well, if so you absolutely have to play it, it's still worth diving into the curious story involving Sam and the mysterious Dr. Styles, of which my boyfriend made a cosplay himself that you can see in a dedicate section below my set!
Samantha is a magician/illusionist who
wanders around on her motorbike in
search of fortune. Her aim is to unearth
the prestigious and secret Daedalus club
which welcomes only the best magician
and illusionists, and for this she will have
to solve a series of puzzles and riddles.
However, her path crosses that of the
famous and brilliant Dr. Styles: it's a rainy
evening and her motorbike breaks down,
the only place to take refuge is the
Doctor's big house right in front of her.
Samantha, by a lucky coincidence, thus
manages to pass herself off as Styles' new
assistant, a "small" deception just long
enough to refresh herself and earn some
money, if not that she will then find herself
involved in something bigger - until
involve other people to participate in the
mysterious experiments of Dr. Styles-.
Sam uses her magician's tricks to influence
others and help the Doctor, gradually
discovering the reality and the painful past
hidden behind David's mask.
She will find himself both wanting to help
him and wanting to unmask the tricks
behind the apparently paranormal
phenomena that take place during Styles'
experiments. This in broad terms. I really
liked the game, as well as I found its very
fun to implement magician tricks to solve
various puzzles or persuade others
charcaters! A graphic adventure
with her own style and a beautiful story
by the same author of games like Gabriel's
Knight (Jane Jensen), which unfortunately
did not have a sequel, but which was
greatly appreciated by fans of the genre.
Samantha is a protagonist who is loved for
her charisma and sense of humor, for her
alternative look and for her perseverance. I hope that those who still remember and love Gray Matter will be able to appreciate my tribute to Sam! In some photos I have inserted a couple of scenarios of the game, others I have put my interpretation, I didn't have many means but I think it's good.
Not being a particularly elaborate cosplay, I tried to pay as much attention as possible to the details (I chose to refer to the 3d model of the game on Xbox, rather than to Samantha depicted in the concept art).
I'm sorry if, as often happens for me, not all the photos are of good quality: I had a lot of difficulty shooting by myself, and unfortunately I only realized after the set was over that... ALL the full length photos were blurry ç_ç (I wanted to die). I managed to recover them only thanks to an AI for focus, so as to allow me to work and recover the details without trashing all the work. Perhaps on the other hand the result is a bit artificial, but hey, I couldn't have done anything alternatively. Meanwhile, I hope I made someone exclaim "oh my god yes, I remember it!"
