A 2024 horror game that is heavily inspired by those on the original PlayStation console is set to release on new platforms soon. By all accounts, the PS1 might feature the most iconic catalog of horror games ever. Throughout its run in the 1990s, the PS1 saw games like Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Silent Hill, Clock Tower, Dino Crisis, and numerous others all head to the platform. Now, a game that is similar in style to these classics is set to land on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch just in time for Halloween. 

Announced today by developer and publisher SFB Games, Crow Country will soon be making the jump to PS4 and Switch on October 16th. Released earlier in 2024, Crow Country was initially only available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Given its rousing popularity, though, those on PS4 and Switch made it known that they wanted to see the game come to their platforms of choice. Soon, that will finally be happening. 

In case you haven't heard of Crow Country before, the game borrows heavily from the ideas and aesthetic seen in titles like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. While it might seem like nothing more than a cheap imitation, Crow Country has been received incredibly well by players and critics alike. On Steam, Crow Country boasts an astounding "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating from players, while its Metacritic score sits at a strong 84/100. So if you're looking for a horror game to play this October, it should definitely be on your watchlist.
