Neon Hive :

London, UK - 17th April, 2024 - SFB Games, critically acclaimed creators of the award-winning Tangle Tower and Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together!, are excited to announce Crow Country - their highly anticipated survival horror game - is launching on Xbox Series X/S on May 9th 2024, alongside the previously announced PlayStation 5 and Steam versions.
 
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the PlayStation 1, venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its owner’s sudden disappearance. Where is Edward Crow? And who are you really, Mara Forest?
 
Immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister game-world evocative of late ‘90s pre-rendered graphics - move the camera and you’ll find it’s actually 3D! Make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the deadly creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of this mysteriously shuttered amusement park.

But don’t think monsters are your only problem: Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, so grab your flashlight, push through the fog, and overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stands between you and the terrifying truth. How far would someone go to follow their ambition? Are some sins too wicked for redemption?
 
Encounter curious characters, unearth hidden lore, and piece together this strange, compelling tale of reckless hubris and human greed. With “Exploration Mode”, you can even switch off combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploring the park!
 
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. For more info, check out the store page on Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, or Steam. To review the game or interview SFB Games, please email PR Executive David at [email protected].
 
Can’t wait for launch? The demo will be playable at WASD (Truman Brewery, London) between April 25th and 27th, where SFB Games will be in attendance; for in-person interview opportunities, contact David ([email protected]).
