Crow Country continues the trend of indie devs keeping the spirit of old-school survival horror alive (with a twist).

Crow Country is in-line with titles like Signalis, Alisa, and Tormented Souls. Titles from smaller studios being faithful to old-school survival horror, with their own twists.
Crow country has its own bag of tricks to add tweaks to the survival horror formula. It's one I came across during a recent Steam Next Fest, finding the demo promising.
Does the full game live up to the promise of the demo? Yes, and then some.
Crow Country has some of the best interconnected level design I've come across in some time. There's several great puzzles that don't fall into common survival horror trappings. Its presentation and perspective add a flair that helps Crow Country stand out.
It gets my stamp of approval and well worth your time.
DISCLOSURE: I received a review key from its publisher Neonhive.
