"When it comes to horror games, it's impossible to escape the legacy of Resident Evil. The series the original game spawned of course continues to be one of the most popular horror series in gaming, but its influence is felt far beyond that. In recent years, horror developers have been increasingly enamored with the original survival horror classic, modeling both their gameplay and aesthetics after Resident Evil. Now, one of the best examples of that trend is coming to PlayStation Plus."
"In many ways, Crow Country is a tribute to the games that inspired it. The interface showing your health and gear are highly reminiscent of Resident Evil's heartbeat monitor and suitcase inventory, which has become common for modern survival horror throwbacks. Its low-fidelity character models and screen effects evoking old CRT televisions complete the effect, making Crow Country feel almost as much like a lost PlayStation game as a brand-new release."
Crow Country turns a cheerful amusement park into a venue for supernatural horror, following investigator Mara as she searches for the missing park owner amid labyrinthine grounds. The park contains monsters, strange secrets, and other characters pursuing their own goals. The game intentionally references PlayStation-era survival horror through an interface that mirrors Resident Evil's heartbeat monitor and suitcase inventory and through low-fidelity character models and CRT-style screen effects. Players can choose between classic tank controls or a modern action-oriented control scheme. Enemy encounters and puzzles are relatively simple, making Crow Country accessible to players new to traditional survival horror.
