Cult Of The Crow

Unearth the mysteries of a forgotten town in "Cult of the Crow." Answer the call of a cryptic letter, leading you into a fog-shrouded nightmare where shadows whisper secrets and the echoes of ritual sacrifice linger. As Ethan, unravel the sinister tapestry of your father's disappearance, solve cryptic puzzles, and confront the malevolent cult that ensnares you.

"Cult of the Crow" stands as a collaborative effort, and I extend my deepest gratitude to the talented individuals who contributed their creativity to this project. A heartfelt acknowledgment goes out to my dedicated classmates whose unwavering support and contributions have left an indelible mark on "Cult of the Crow." A sincere thank you to Ilan, Nathan, Akash, Bryant, Jaden, and Reggie—each of you played a crucial role in shaping the game into what it is today. Special thanks to Elegant Crow and Elbolilloduro, fellow itch users whose exceptional 3D assets have enriched the haunting atmosphere of the game. Your contributions have been integral to bringing the shadows to life and creating an immersive experience for players.

This game was born as a project for my final year in university, a journey that continued beyond the classroom and ultimately marked my inaugural venture into game development. Graduating from university didn't signify the end but rather the beginning of a personal obsession with bringing this project to fruition.

Really, this is more than just code and pixels; it's a dedication to my dear friend, Nathan Hunt, who worked alongside me on this endeavor. Sadly, Nathan left us earlier this year, and this game stands as a testament to his creativity and dedication.

Completing this project is a milestone, but it's not the final chapter. I will continue to support "Cult of the Crow," addressing any necessary updates. Simultaneously, I'm excited to commit time to new projects, building on the lessons learned and experiences gained from this one.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. The shadows may hold secrets, but it's the support of players like you that brings those secrets to light.

As a final note,

I want to offer a glimpse behind the scenes. The original build of the game featured captivating, copyrighted music that, in my opinion, added an unparalleled atmospheric quality. This version was exclusively showcased in an educational setting.

While that original demo was openly showcased, it remains a closed chapter, accessible only in that confined context. The version you're experiencing now employs free and public domain assets and music. Admittedly, it may not possess the same haunting charm as its predecessor, but it stands as a testament to the evolution of the project.

In the future, I dream of crafting a custom soundscape that mirrors the atmospheric brilliance of the original. Until then, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your understanding and support. "Cult of the Crow" may have taken a different musical path, but I hope you still find enjoyment in its current form.
