Crow Country May Be Fun To Watch
Crow Country may be a riveting game to watch when Awesome Games Done Quick rolls around in January. “Crow Country is a tribute to retro survival horror games, inviting players to embark on a nostalgic adventure that will keep players asking questions and investigating everything the atmosphere has to offer,” saidour review. “SFB Games did a wonderful job emulating what had made the classic survival horror games truly special.” The puzzles in the game aren’t too hard, according to our review, however, likely making it easier to speedrun.
Additionally, there will be a few funny games to watch as well. Squirrel with a Gun and Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing are getting played on the same night. They’re getting ran by squirrelpascals and szcymanski.
