Our take on Ourea
Rather than presenting its story separately from play, Ourea ties discovery to environmental puzzles and scene composition. Its central structure is moving through a story-rich setting, changing objects with runes, and uncovering the history of the Oreads.
What is Ourea?
Ourea is an adventure puzzle game about exploring a forgotten world and uncovering the past of the Oreads.
Players take the role of Glyf, the last of the Oreads, and move through a story-rich environment. Magical runes alter objects in different ways, letting Glyf solve puzzles and travel through the world. The game also uses carefully framed scenes and an environment that changes as Glyf moves through it. These elements present the story through the surroundings as exploration and puzzle-solving progress.
