About The Crooked Man

✦ AI summary

The Crooked Man is a 2D horror-adventure where you play as David Hoover investigating the mysterious previous tenant of your new apartment, uncovering disturbing secrets through exploration and action. This indie psychological horror stands out with its unsettling atmosphere, multiple branching endings, and willingness to depict visceral, hardcore violence as you descend into nightmare.

"There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile.
He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
and they all lived together
in a little crooked house. "

This is the first title in the series known as The Strange Man, developed by Uri Games.
Experience the myriad horrors awaiting David as he moves into his new house.
In The Crooked Man, you play as David Hoover, who has recently moved to a new apartment during a rather rough time in his life. In the midst of him struggling to deal with his current situation, David starts to experience some odd occurrences in his apartment, and decides its best to ask a little about the former tenant.
However, he learns little.
Strangely compelled to learn more about this man, David sets off in search of him, hoping to find answers to his questions.
In commemoration of the game's Steam release, achievements, and multi-language localization have been added.

✦ AI summary

The Crooked Man is a well-regarded RPG Maker psychological horror game that players praise for its spooky atmosphere, emotional storytelling, and excellent translation work. The game resonates particularly with players who appreciate its mature protagonist and branching endings with real consequences, though some find certain moments corny or wish for additional quality-of-life features like a flowchart. Players generally feel it's worth experiencing, especially as part of the series.

FAMILY matters—yet not everyone is born into a loving home. By the way, hearing Sissi scream in one of the Bad Endings completely tore me apart. :(

you WILL buy peak RPG Maker horror game and you WILL love it !! The first game in the series, its a bit scary, its corny sometimes, its sweet, its really cool that you play a dude in his mid 20s trying to figure out life instead of playing a high schooler, i mean im nearly 29 so I relate 1000 times more to David now than I used to when I first play it nearly 10 years ago. vgperson truely is the goat of translation and I think its not a overstatement to say they basically solo carried the RPG Maker horror to the west
