    I don't know why they vote so low under this game. It is a good game of puzzles and platforms, and the story is interesting and keeps you hooked. I put a 9 to balance.

    This game is absolutely fantastic. Although it was made by a small studio, The Crow's Eye has some important points to be considered.

    - The story that you can read in documents and hear on tapes is awesome, with a few plot twists that make this an interesting story. - The voice actors are so good. In particular William Holtwick who reminds me of Hamil's Joker. - The music is    This game is absolutely fantastic.

    - The music is outstanding!!
    - The graphics are really good, bearing in mind it's an indie game.
    - While many of the puzzles involve pulling levers and moving boxes, they are short and satisfying to ensure they don’t become too repetitive.

    A good game where you can understand that it is not necessary to be a big company to make a fantastic project.    … Expand

    Crow’s Eye just doesn’t hold up to the greats. The juxtaposition of horror mystery against puzzle-platformer gameplay is jarring; as if gameplay and storyline were drawn up independently and then forced together during early design meeting. Perhaps the first-person puzzles were the intended focus of the title, but horror-genre theatrics proved more popular during limited focus testing, steering the development team’s world building and scripting down a weirdly counterintuitive path. I will admit that does seem like an oddly sceptical look at the game’s make-up, but it simply doesn’t feel organic. Serviceable gameplay mechanics are clouded by a confusing and unimpressive horror aesthetic that do little to elevate the proceedings above a quaint distraction.

    The Crow’s Eye is excellent platform puzzler with an intriguing story. I can’t consider it being an actual horror title, especially as a psychological terror that the developers, 3D2 Entertainment describes, but as an atmospheric first-person adventure, it has a lot going for it. It can be easily recommended for fans of puzzle-adventure titles shrouded in mystery.

    Creating effective horror depends on powerful moments of the the unexpected juxtaposed with long stretches of calm and the mundane. In general, The Crow's Eye understands the basics of the genre, but frustrating puzzles and platforming both dispel the drive of the narrative and alienate the player. Kudos for looking at a somewhat tired format through a new lens, but points off for implementation. Suggestion: give the player control over save points, pare the platforming to a highly-tuned minimum, and don't repeat the puzzles. Despite these caveats, The Crow's Eye is still worth a look for fans of dread-inducing exploration.
