Azrael is a game that could take you less than 5 seconds to 3 hours depending on how many endings you want to see. My first run was a bit confusing since I had no idea what to do or what I was looking for until I eventually got the gist: Must press buttons, Collect book, and get some nice shoes (which I thought were wings). Purple key is love purple key is life and picking it up early makes collecting everything so much easier. Obviously there is more to the game but if you are this interested just pick it up and play it. This game is great to play all in one sitting or multiple short sessions could 100% easily. For $2 this was well worth the price and a great thought provoker. PS: The second maze made my brain hurt for an hour good luck!

[h1]Spoilers, kind of[/h1] It's kind of hard to rate this game because its not bad, it clearly has an interesting story and idea, they just are not fleshed out/shown much to you in a clear way. I'll probably put this into multiple parts in a non-generic steam review way that doesn't have cringe copypaste checkboxes. And yes i am writing this at like 3 am so im probably bound to say something that is a little dumb. [b]The price:[/b] It's the main reason why i am conflicted on whether or not to recommend it because its only 2 dollars. If you have money already in your steam account you might as well just buy it and it wouldn't matter. Even if you buy it and don't like it or will never revisit it, it really wouldn't matter. This point is just overall positive; there is absolutely nothing wrong with the price and i think it fits fine with a short game focused more on a narrative. [b]Story:[/b] I think that it is the main point of the game and its quite clear. It definitely makes you que...

the greatest art of our generation. there will never be another work as life-changing as Azrael. im shaking and crying rn.

i got all of the endings after ~an hour of playing and id say its worth 2 dollars. i ended up drawing a map in order to get around more easily, and overall had a pretty fun time. one thing that annoyed me a bit is that one of the endings seems just better than the other in every way, despite the two only being seperated by a binary choice which you dont know the meaning of when you make it. conclusion, gud game, buy it if u have 2 spare dollars.

It's pretty easy to get lost in the black and white area as several times I have taken the same route over and over expecting a different result (Vaas Far Cry reference), although apparently it was designed to be that way, with the shifting pallet of black and white being disorienting and semi-frustrating. Story is very vague but I think it's meant to be that way as you have to piece it together with scattered bits of information. Despite that, it's a little hard to figure out what's going on. In summary: Spaffy waffy made game, slid into my dm's and said "buy game plz" and then I did because I am the goodest amazingest guy friend pal on the planet.

V2 is really enjoyable and good value

Playing the game (v1), the creator obviously had a theme and idea in mind, but the game definitely lends itself to the whims and thoughts of the player: if the representation makes sense, you can make Azrael about whatever you find it fits. And certainly there is a lot that the player could make it about. A quick run was enough to get me interested enough for another go, where i found [spoiler]the other endings[/spoiler]. Very intriguing ideas and a unique playstyle.
