Crow Countryand its spooky, mutant-stuffed theme park will be opening its gates on Steam on May 9th, developers SFB Games have announced. It’s the first of two games from theTangle Towermicro-studio coming to PC this year, the other one beingThe Mermaid’s Tongue, which will be picking up the adventures of their Tangle Tower detective duo on a marginally less spooky-looking submarine later this year. Crow Country, however, is a very different kettle of fish, combining chunky, PS1-styleFinal Fantasy 7character models with earlyResident Eviltank controls and panicked monster shooting.

Itsvery good Next Fest demo, which lets you loose with the opening section of the game, is still alive and kicking if you want to give it a go while you wait. There are lots of great throwbacks to ye olde Resi games here, including a beating heart health bar you can only see when you open your menu, fishing ammo and health packs out of bins, and manually aiming your reticule as you try and take down its nastier inhabitants.
The demo isn’t for the faint of heart, but its freshly updatedSteampage does bring good news on this front, as there will also be an Exploration mode available, which lets you pootle around the park without the fear of being attacked. A sigh of relief for all involved.
Crow Country is one of my personalmost anticipated gamesof 2024 (along with The Mermaid’s Tongue, of course) so I’m very pleased that we’ll be able to poke and prod its horrible theme park in just a couple of months time on May 9th.
