About A murder of crows

✦ AI summary

A Murder of Crows is a horror game where you venture into a cursed forest to locate five mysterious crows and uncover the dark secret behind the area's sinister disappearances. You'll navigate through eerie environments while solving puzzles, evading otherworldly creatures, and uncovering the truth one crow at a time.

Welcome to the sinister world of A Murder of Crows, a horror game that will take you to an eerie forest. Your mission is to find five mysterious crows in this nightmarish environment and uncover a dark secret that terrifies the forest.

You'll take on the role of a brave explorer who is fascinated by the stories about the eerie disappearances in this forest. Your journey begins at an abandoned, dilapidated entrance gate shrouded in swirling mist. The gate creaks ominously as you slowly open it and venture into the darkness.

The forest welcomes you with an eerie silence. The cracking of branches beneath your feet echoes through the trees, while the wind carries mysterious whispering voices. Your only ally is a flashlight, which gives you limited light in the pitch black night. The outlines of the trees seem threatening and eerie shadows lurk around every corner.

As you advance deeper into the forest, you keep encountering disturbing signs. Gruesome symbols are carved into the bark of the trees, and the remains of abandoned campfires bear witness to past events. Ominous sounds make you freeze while you try to orient yourself on your way.

Suddenly you hear the fleeting flutter of wings and the shrill cawing of crows. You follow the sounds and discover a weathered map with the positions of the five crows marked on it. They are the key to solving the mystery of the forest and the only way to survive.

Your search for the crows will take you through deeper and deeper realms of horror. You will be pursued by eerie creatures that emerge from the shadows and seek your life. They are creatures that are alienated from human nature and strive only for darkness and fear. You must be skilled and sharpen your senses to escape them.

The crows themselves are not easy to find. They are masters of camouflage and have hidden in the darkest and most inaccessible places in the forest. You'll have to solve puzzles, overcome traps and fight your way through dangerous environments to discover them. Each crow you find will bring you closer to the mystery of the forest and reveal another layer of terror.

✦ AI summary

A Murder of Crows is widely criticized as a low-effort asset flip that borrows heavily from Slenderman-style games without adding meaningful innovation, with players complaining about poor performance and a lack of creative content. Multiple reviewers describe it as a barebones technical demo assembled from stock Unreal Engine assets rather than a complete game experience. Players do not recommend purchasing this title.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "A murder of crows" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is a pointless barebones asset flip, basically a bunch of Unreal assets dumped on a simple map with a simple first person adventure blueprint to make a "spooky forest flashlight" tech demo. There's a lot of asset flips on Steam thanks to Steam Direct, the well intentioned and disastrous programme that allows anyone to dump anything on Steam. The only remarkable thing about this one is the developer forgot to slap a price tag on it, so he can get paid for other people's game assets. So, "A murder of crows" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a g…

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
