What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Inside the Crow´s Nest is an non-profit academic project that is used as a portfolio, with the aim of showing the talent and dedication of the team during the development of this game.

On early access, we seek to involve the community and receive quality feedback. So that significant improvements can be made, achieving a quality product suitable for our community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect to complete the project during this calendar year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We would like the final game to have all the features of the early access version plus a more balanced and polished experience. We plan to complete Inside the Crow´s Nest by implementing more playable levels featuring new puzzles, enemy types, new effects, and new bosses.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game can be considered to be at an early access Alpha. However, the version we present in this alpha has already implemented and refined sufficient mechanics, character and environment designs, to be considered a completed demo. As for being a demo, this shows how we will continue working on the game and its features.

In the current version you can:
● Explore three of the zones of the monastery
● Solve easy and complex puzzles
● Face up to three distinct enemies Manage to survive?”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Inside the Crow´s Nest will remain free throughout Early Access and upon its official release. We focus on demonstrating the quality of our team's work, which spans nearly 9 months of development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We intend to engage with the community through Twitter and Steam forums, actively soliciting and incorporating player feedback to refine the game before its official launch.”

About This Game

Inside the Crow 's Nest is a Survival Horror game inspired by old-school genre classics.

You play as the Hunter, who awakens in a cell marked with strange symbols, trapped in a cult-infested monastery. To escape, you must survive horrifying cultists, uncover dark secrets, and solve intricate puzzles that block your escape.

Nostalgic Survival Horror Feel:

Experience tense, atmospheric gameplay with fixed camera angles and tank controls - an homage to the pioneers of the genre.

Challenging, Rewarding Puzzles

Collect clues, decipher their meaning, and use them to navigate and unlock new areas of the cursed monastery.

Relentless Cultists and Monstrous Horrors

Face off against twisted followers of The Forgotten One—inhuman abominations warped by devotion to their dark god.

A Mystery Waiting to Be Uncovered

Delve deep into the monastery’s haunted halls and piece together the chilling history of its inhabitants and their eldritch faith. Will the Hunter escape, or become the next sacrifice?

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Our game centers on an arcane cult that aims to resurrect an ancient deity. To accomplish this, they have kidnapped the protagonist. Their plan is to sacrifice him to summon a god who will unleash chaos and terror upon the Earth.

The game features dark, eerie locations, mysterious figures whose state—alive or dead—is uncertain, enemies with features resembling cadaverous birds, and an environmental narrative in which stains and filth create a disturbing atmosphere.

You will shoot your crossbow against the enemies, who will fall dead and disappear. And once you pick up the doomed dagger, you will hear unsettling whispers.
