Try 'n Cry: Prologue

About

Try 'n Cry: Prologue is a single player action adventure game. It was developed by Crystalia Games and was released on December 12, 2019. It received neutral reviews from players.

Through the ages the Greek and the Latin worlds shaped Europe and left culture, arts and laws... but left also a darker and deeper evil, which was not recognized or fighted by the next dominations. Thus, the ancient stories became Myth; the Myth became Legends, and everything was forgotten.
