Greak: Memories of Azur is a pretty straightforward game. A 2D platformer base, with some puzzle-ish elements, and light combat mixed in - a design so classic it's almost traditional

The twist here is that you control multiple characters (well, you start with one, and then build up to three), using the unique characteristics of each to progress forward. You can switch between them at will, but there are also neat commands for grouping them together to control as one unit

It reminded me a lot of World to the West, which had a different camera perspective, but used a similar system to try tell a sort-of twisting narrative tale from multiple characters' viewpoints - or at least that's maybe what it was trying to do, but i'm not sure if it was altogether successful. An interesting idea for an interactive story though…

As for Greak's plot; at the start i expected it to be the classic grand fantasy tale, but i was surprised to find that it was relatively grounded, with the main characters focused on quite modest goals. Could just be a bit unfinished - or even sequel-bait - as it does end on a bit of a "new lands"-type stinger

Anyway, an alright time, although a bit shorter than expected from online data
