The Land of Crows

'The Land of Crows' is an side-scroller gothic story adventure game ( not a point & click), inspired by the literary works of the Masters of pre-romantic, romantic and gothic literature (E.A. Poe, J.W. Goethe, A. Mickiewicz, J. Slowacki) and lovecraftian mythos. Jan Bonawentura Jablonowski, a young Polish nobleman, is summoned to Kuyavia at his friend's request. Urged by a dramatic letter, he arrives to a gloomy, rainy flatland filled with ravens and crows. He's about to find out the dreadful truth lurking in the watery grasslands of the 19th century Partitioned Poland. A classic-style adventure game, inspired by the 90s thriller adventures look, feel & controls (most notably 'The Shadow of The Comet') 3 to 4 hours of entertainment, 7000+ lines of text. Gloomy characters with their dark secrets. The gothic romance sending chills down the spine. Climatic music (by Simon Wilkinson and other composers). Historical and ethnographic objects and buildings (palaces, mansions, churches) of Kuyavian/Greater Poland style. References to 19th century masters of gothic and romantic literature. The look and feel of the Regency/Romanticism cultural era, with a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth distinct cultural background. Regional, early medieval Slavic legends of Kuyavia, intertwined with a romantic vibe. Haunted forests of old with ancient hidden graves. A lot of walking. An eons-old evil lurking in the marshlands... This game is not a 'talkie' - it doesn't have a voice-over (a classical 90s adventure game indie tribute).
