Set in 1990, you play Mara Forest, a police detective on the case of the missing Edward Crow, owner of Crow Country theme park. You must venture into his now-abandoned park and read notes left behind by the staff to piece together what happened. Standing in your way are locked doors, strange puzzles and grotesque zombie-like creatures. Armed with only a pistol to defend yourself, you must work out how to progress by finding keys, deciphering codes or operating machinery.

As you progress, you can find medical kits, antidotes to help you survive, grenades, and a shotgun to offer enhanced firepower. You gradually develop the narrative as you explore, finding other characters to interact with, revealing that things are not what they seem and uncovering the dark secrets of Crow Country.

The resulting game blends classic horror themes, retro visuals and intricate storytelling to produce a thrilling and spooky experience. The twists and turns in the story keep you hooked and explore the human nature of greed and hubris.
