Crow Nation, the acclaimed PS1-inspired survival horror journey from Snipperclips developer SFB Video games, is bringing its retro scares to PS4 and Swap on sixteenth October.
Crow Nation – which launched for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Sequence X/S in Might – catapults gamers again to 1990 and the titular theme park of Edward Crow, a person who disappeared in mysterious circumstances two years prior. “Don’t be deceived by the whimsical environment,” teases SFB, “one thing is terribly fallacious in Crow Nation.”
Discovering what that one thing is likely to be is exactly the duty at hand as gamers, within the function of Particular Agent Mara Forest, discover the theme park and examine its long-abandoned rides, fixing puzzles and riddles, chatting with the park’s unusual inhabitants, and battling the strikingly monstrous creatures roaming its confines.
And for many who’d somewhat deal with the thriller of Crow Nation’s story and its participating puzzling, somewhat than coping with the stress of its (barely garbage) fight, there’s additionally a relatively extra tranquil Exploration Mode.
“Full of foolish jokes, relatable one-liners, and a self-aware irreverence that is surprisingly refreshing,” Eurogamer’s Vikki Blake wrote in her 4 star assessment again in Might, “Crow Nation would not take itself too severely. Sure, it packs in most of the tropes and conventions so related to old-school horror, however it’s not afraid to poke somewhat enjoyable at them every now and then, too. Mara is without delay each befuddling and beguiling, and an ideal companion as, collectively, you attempt to piece this puzzling thriller collectively.”
And if a cheerful slab of intelligent retro-inspired horror seems like simply the ticket as spooky season will get underway, Crow Nation will likely be obtainable for Swap and PS4 on October sixteenth.
