After a decade on the indie game scene, Grey Alien Games was finally honoured with a review on IndieGames.com
John Bridgman reviewed Regency Solitaire and said:
“If you like traditional solitaire games, this is probably going to be right up your alley. Also if you want a charming visual novel story, you’ll want to give this a look. The game is wonderfully endearing and I think a lot of people will be surprised if they give it a chance.”
