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.

The Crow's Eye shone when it came to dealing with suspense and psychological distress. I only wish that it'd played more to its strengths in the end.

I am not enthralled with "The Crow's Eye" but the work put into the game is obvious. Overall the characters are the strongest, the platforming is solid, and the puzzles are... puzzling. Have fun losing your mind!

The Crow's Eye offers a good variation of challenges, and an intriguing story to boot. Bugs and a lack of challenge hamper the experience, but ultimately this is a decent title.
