The Crow's Eye is a first-person horror adventure game. It was developed by the independent Spanish studio 3D2 Entertainment. We play as a young man who is trapped in the abandoned building of the Medical University in Crowswood against his own will. The building was closed in 1947 after a couple of students disappeared without a trace. We will have to not only find our way out of that place, but also discover its dark secrets.
The Crow’s Eye for PC is a first-person horror adventure game developed by a small Spanish studio, 3D2 Entertainment. It was inspired by folk tales and hit games like Bioshock and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The game offers an engaging story and the unique atmosphere created by things seemingly not important, like a ray of light going through a hole in the wall.
Medical University in Crowswood was closed in 1947 after a group od students disappeared without a trace there. Twenty years later, a young man is trapped inside that building as a part of an experiment which he did not agree to participate in. To escape, he will have to discover its secrets and find out the connection between the building and the event from twenty years ago. All of that happens under a watchful eye of a mysterious observer.
Gameplay in The Crow’s Eye for PC is presented from the first-person perspective and focuses mainly on exploration and solving riddles and puzzles. To solve them, we have to use our intellect and items found along the way, just like in the point-and-click adventure games. We will also find documents and audio and video recordings here and there in the building. Their contents will eventually lead us to the discovery of the reasons behind the 1947 dissapearance. Before that, however, we will have to finish nine levels the developers have created.
Visuals in The Crow’s Eye for PC are on a decent level. Rooms of the university’s building are diversified. Developers paid much attention to the play of lights and, from time to time, players may be entertained by interesting visual effects, like the distortion of the screen. Naturally, The Crow’s Eye also has an atmospheric soundrack that creates a mood fitting for the game.

GameSpew: 6 / 10 by Jack Bampfield
It’s the narrative you discover through exploration that holds The Crow’s Eye together; reading and listening to people slowly lose their minds – as perhaps your character does too – makes the psychological thriller element of the game take centre stage. It’s just a shame that the horror never quite gets there.

No, The Crow’s Eye didn’t turn out how I expected, and in that way I’m disappointed. As a huge fan of horror games, I was let down by The Crow’s Eye failing to live up to the horror that the teasers seemed to promise. But, I can appreciate a good puzzle game and that’s exactly what this is, and having a decent narrative is icing on the cake.

The Crow's Eye is a strange title. It's a horror game in some ways, with great atmosphere for the most part. However, it's also not scary. For the most part it's more of a puzzle game, than horror game and has side-stories far more compelling than the main plot. In all, it offers an interesting, if flawed experience.
