TL;DR Where do I start? I am a huge fan of the romantic and gothic period of art. I adore the works of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, E.T.A. Hoffmann and Franz Kafka. So I was very excited to see this game. Literary games are, unfortunately, far and few betwenn. I feel that this game was the only one to truly represent the beauty of literature as a whole. However, it not only felt like a love-letter to writing, but it also invoked the gothic and romantic madness as well as despair of the respective horrors. I am also interested in history. Yet I was not aware of Polish culture of the time period, but this adventure showed glimpses of the past. The story is nothing to special, however it has sharp writing. The characters are what really brings the world alive. Almost all of them are multi-layered people, who are neither completely good nor evil. Almost all of them, except for the priest, are likeable. There are a lot of different personalities in the area. There are Jews, lesbians, occult professors, spirits, noble houses or disabled ones, yet they are never just defined by this one trait alone. It`s gameplay, however, is only alright. It is a standard adventure game. Some minor glitches here, some clever or frustating, but nothing truly memorable. One plays this game for the world and story. If you are looking for adventure game about puzzles, look else were. The music has a nice ambience to it. The melancholic sounds accompany the rain quite nicely. Visually, the game is amazing. It uses old, black-and-white photos, to create the characters and environments and it is done with flying colours. As a native speaker, it was also a welcome surprise, to see the game using correct German. It was surreal and fun at the same time. In conclusion, one of my all-time favourite works of art. I cannot recommend it enough.

It's been a while since I first played the game (about 5 years) but I still think about it regularly. I love the aesthetic, the story, the whole thing is amazing. I hope that whatever you're doing now you're doing good, thank you for making a delicious treat of a game for us.

Bir cinayet, mistik sırlar, aile lanetleri... Polonya'nın ortasında, bir köyde geçen hikayemizde yalnızca bir cinayetin sır perdesini aralamakla kalmayacağız, aynı zamanda nice kötülükle de boğuşacağız. The Land of Crows, dolu içeriği ve zengin hikayesiyle bugüne kadar oynadığım en iyi ve en uzun ücretsiz oyun oldu. + Hikayesi için oynanılan bir oyun olduğundan iyi bir İngilizce şart. Okuduğunuz her diyalog, her yazı, her bir cümle oyunda ilerlemeniz için gerekiyor. O yüzden mekanlardaki bütün insanlar ve eşyalarla etkileşime girmeyi unutmayın. Ne yazık ki unuttuğunuz herhangi bir nesney, oyun size hatırlatmayacağından defalarca kör düğümlerle uğraşacaksınız. + Gotik sanat tasarımıyla gerçekten karanlık ve hoş bir atmosfer sunuyor. + Bazı nesnelerle etkileşime duruşunuzdan ötürü etkileşime giremiyorsunuz. Hiçbir nesneyi kaçırmamak ve oyunda tıkanmamak için "space" tuşuna basıp etkileşime geçebileceğiniz kırmızı soru işaretlerini görün. Soru işaretleri arasında geçiş yapabilmek içinse "R" tuşunu kullanın. + Özellikle hızlı seyahat sonrasında oyunda fps düşüşleri ve donmalar yaşanıyor. Bu tahminimce optimizasyon sorunu. + Oyunda ne yazık ki koşma tuşu yok ve her yere hızlı seyahat ile gidemiyorsunuz. Bu yüzden etrafınızı iyi incelemeyi unutmayın. + Son olarak oyun uzun soluklu olduğundan ve yorduğundan tek günde bitirmek istemeyebilirsiniz. Nerede kaldığını ve ne aradığınızı arkada bir yerlerde not alın ki sonrasında Youtube'da az sayıda bulunan oynanış videolarında ipucu aramayın.
Fantastic little story-game rich with dialogue and lore. Short and sweet. I might personally knock a point off from an outstanding score for having slow movement speed. But you can unlock a sort of fast travel early enough in. Pro tip if you're on keyboard: check controls. I basically navigated the game with WASD, Q, E, I, and the two bracket keys (these are your best friend for target selection for item/dialogue). Anyway, I admit to quickly skipping through a bit of the historical-type dialogue, but it's a very charming game with a pleasant soundtrack, little twists, and an ending cutscene that makes it worth the journey.
