“The Crooked Man

Story

In The Crooked Man, you play as David Hoover, who has recently moved to a new apartment during a rather rough time in his life. In the midst of him struggling to deal with his current situation, David starts to experience some odd occurrences in his apartment, and decides its best to ask a little about the former tenant.

However, he learns little.

Strangely compelled to learn more about this man, David sets off in search of him, hoping to find answers to his questions.

Features:

• 2D horror-adventure featuring exploration and action elements.
• Wide range of hardcore expressions of violence.
• Multiple Endings.
• The beginning of a series of fantastic 2D horror games, coming soon to Playism and Steam.”

I have played Uri-san’s works going back as far as Paranoiac. The event scripting and narrative framework in each and every title has been exemplary. The atmosphere, so peculiar to this series, immerses you in these worlds the same way a good movie does.
All games in the Strange Man series are fully-fleshed out horror experiences in their own right, but fans of suspense and mystery will find much to like here, too.
The game’s difficulty level has been tuned to provide a satisfying challenge without undermining its intended experience in frustration.
