Crow Country: Brilliant Polygonal Survival Horror Jaunt 🧟♀️
This excellent survival horror game is by SFB Games based in London, founded by brothers Adam and Tom Vian. Crow Country launched in 2024 on PC and all consoles, it was an instant critical hit bagging many top review scores.
It’s stylised with PlayStation blocky polygon era graphics, but don’t let that fool you. The game is spooky indeed, clever with its puzzles, and it rightly deserves its status as an indie game classic.
Blocky Polygons of Creepy Corvus in Crow Country
If you played games in the 1990s, you’ll be aware of the horror series Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Crow Country particularly nods toward the original Resident Evil on the PlayStation (1996).
Yet does so with its borderline cutesy, chunky retro style polygons, all of which feature a weird grainy layer over the top as you play. At times it’s also like you’re playing Squaresoft’s Final Fantasy VII (1997), with the blocky Mara set alongside the pre-rendered backgrounds.
Obviously, that’s all intentional and a loving homage to 1990s survival horror games. The good news is, this one is an instant classic and very close to perfection!
The game delivers plenty of tension and scares. It’s masterfully delivered and instantly brilliant (within minutes you’re intrigued and immersed), with players taking control of protagonist Mara Forest and plunging into an abandoned theme park (Crow Country).
This type of game is methodical to play. Quite slow-paced, really, as you have to consider your surroundings, solve puzzles, and try not to get ripped to shreds by zombies. Here it is in action.
Some of the puzzles, whilst a little abstract, are great to solve. You generally face blockades to your progress, such as a missing lever, which you then use clues to solve. You have to investigate your surroundings to find answers, so don’t be afraid to check everything in every area.
But as you go about finding these items, them are some pretty damn creepy creatures you have to interact with. Your bullets are limited, though, so use them wisely.
It’s just brilliantly delivered. This is right up there with 1990s classics!
And there’s an intriguing soundtrack from composer Ockeroid, too, who has uploaded the whole thing onto YouTube. The piece Maybe Everything Will Be Okay… gives the vibes of what’s going on here.
There are about five to six hours of gameplay in all, so Crow Country doesn’t outstay its welcome. But it isn’t quite perfect, as some of the puzzles can be a bit annoying to resolve. We gave up and went on YouTube to solve some of them.
Investigating can be a bit tedious, too, and you end up with loads of the theme park’s employee notes to wade through. Plus, you can generally sprint past the demented creatures you come across, so it’s not quite as imposing as it initially seems.
Despite those few issues, there’s still so much to love here we were mightily impressed. Not quite a 5/5, but for its meticulously detailed sinister atmospherics and claustrophobia, it’s more than worthy of a go.

Como me gustó tanto #FearTheSpotlight me he animado a pillar #CrowCountry (en #GOG).
Leí en #PCGamingWiki que el juego indica el estado de salud de la protagonista con la barra de luz del #DualSense.
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Crow_Country#Input
Juego un poco para probar y: mierda. La barra se mantiene en azul / turquesa. He escrito al estudio y me han respondido; al instante. Me confirma que el juego no tiene esa característica; ni en PlayStation.
Otro recordatorio que los wikis no son fiables sin citar fuentes.
Crow Country has such a good setting: a theme park, where the bright and friendly scenes highly contrast the bleak staff rooms while also saving the mundane feel of the classic survival horror games.
And and the park's themes are so great!
The whimsical forest with fairies and mushrooms,
The spooky area with dungeons and a haunted mansion,
And the cute (well, scary-cute…) aquatic area with fish and a submarine (might be my favorite save room ever)!
Honestly, I'm so tired of bleak and edgy horror games that are extremely forgettable.

D#16 (2025-05-01) #CrowCountry #demo
Well, it turns out I saved and quit (as it was dinner time) 23 days ago when all I had left of the demo was to walk through a door and get the "thanks for playing" message.
Anyway, it's a really cool and moody survival horror game with the grainy aesthetic of one of those PS1 games with pre-rendered backgrounds, except it's actually fully in 3D with a rotatable camera.
Some shady mining venture beneath an amusement park went awry, so MONSTERS!
Crow Country Is a Game About Climate Change
Crow Country’s retro aesthetics emphasize its theme, a warning about the dangers of ignoring climate change.

#Summary for August 2024 https://no-pe.netlify.app/2024-08-summary/
– Crow Country is a good modern take on survival horror;
– Paratopic and The Sirena Expedition are nice, short, creepy games;
– Silent Hill 3 holds up pretty well;
– Dot’s Home is a worthy story;
– ObsCure is surprisingly good, question mark;
– Wolfwalkers holds its own against better known movies.

If you are anything like me, then this is a helpful bit of information: you are not playing as a cop in this game.
#WhatFourGames that you've played in 2024 would you consider to be your favourites so far?
Think of it as a half-way GOTY list.
Ideally we'll use images but I understand that's not practical. They don't have to be 2024 releases. I'll kick us off...
Please #Boost for exposure. I'd love this to become a sort of weekly #MstdnGames feature, but we can't do that without your help.
And thanks.

The playlist for #CrowCountry is now up! Join me and special agent Mara Forest in a run of this excellent retro inspired horror game.
This has honestly been one of my favourite purchases for this year. It definitely hits a lot of buttons for me, and it was somewhat bird themed! How could I say no!
Episodes 4, 5, and 6 had a few technical difficulties, so I do apologise for that in advance.

I finished #CrowCountry last night and it's probably my favourite new game of the year. Definitely recommend it to all.
If I had but one complaint about #CrowCountry, it would be this. And believe me folks, this is a very small nit to pick...
The characters icon on the map should indicate which way they're facing so that I could stop spending so much time running in the wrong direction.
That's it. That's the only thing I don't adore about this game.
Better late than never, I suppose, and I should probably be trying to use my social media platforms to let people know what I am doing!
So we have two things on the agenda for June, a new game called #CrowCountry, a retro looking survival horror set in an abandoned theme park!
And on request from a friend, I will be playing #PowerWashSimulator, which I won't lie. I'm super looking forward to it!
So pop over to my YouTube channel every weekday at 12 pm British Standard Time to tune into Ishambard Plays, a rather uninspired #LetsPlay channel where I share my experience of games with all you lovely people!
https://youtube.com/@ishambard?si=lPiPaUFoYke909HZ
I look forward to seeing you there!
I've spent an hour or so exploring #CrowCountry and this game is super cool. As you'd expect for a game of this style, it's taking my directly back to the 90s, and I'm not ashamed to admit that it's made me jump more than once.
Crow Country review
Crow Country doesn't just recapture the nostalgia of 90s horror games, it improves on it in every way

My excitement for Crow Country has both increased and decreased after reading James Stephanie Sterling's review on the game! It's a shame that the traps feel like a slap to the face cheap, especially when combat with Guests is balanced well.
