What players say
The Crow's Eye is the perfect example of a game that's been gathering dust on the shelf for 10 years and then, when you can't think of anything else to play, you say to yourself, 'Why not?' And that's when the pleasant surprise hits. The Crow's Eye owes a lot to its Amnesia-style atmosphere; it's a fine product of its time. The gameplay is more or less similar, but the big difference is that this is NOT a horror...
