Crow Country Set to Haunt Nintendo Switch on October 16
One of the year’s most terrifying and immersive horror games is making its way to new platforms. SFB Games’ Crow Country will launch on the Nintendo Switch on October 16. This game has been praised for its chilling atmosphere and engaging storyline.
Crow Country might resemble a cheerful, grainy version of Animal Crossing, but its underlying horror elements create a captivating and eerie gaming experience. Players step into the shoes of Mara Forest, a brave young woman on a quest to explore the remnants of an abandoned amusement park, fittingly named Crow Country. The amusement park’s owner, Edward Crow, has been missing for two years, and it’s up to players to uncover the secrets behind both the park and its enigmatic proprietor.
The game has drawn inspiration from the visual style and monsters of classic horror titles from Sony’s original PlayStation era, such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Cheyenne MacDonald from Engadget reviewed Crow Country earlier this year and noted its “cozy” feelings, an unusual descriptor for a horror game. This contrast enhances the horror, as seemingly familiar characters find themselves in a Lovecraftian world full of dread and uncertainty. Notably, Crow Country has been recognized as one of the best horror games of the year.
In addition to the Nintendo Switch, Crow Country is also available on platforms like Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
For those who appreciate spine-tingling narratives combined with compelling gameplay, Crow Country promises to deliver a memorable experience when it launches on the Switch.
