The Crooked Man is a captivating horror game with a deep and emotional narrative that keeps players engaged. The pixel art and atmospheric music create a haunting ambiance, perfectly complementing the game’s themes. The well-crafted puzzles offer a satisfying challenge, and the multiple endings add significant replay value. A must-play for fans of psychological horror.

I bought the game a while ago and kinda sat on it for a second and I regret doing that. this was a great game with an awesome story, and yes I cried at the end. For only three dollars you really cant go wrong with this.

The first game in the 'Strange Men' series. Playing them somewhat out of order, as I've played The Boogie Man prior. Good stories, that mostly are key hunts/walking simulators, however the games do have combat in them (at least The BM and CM games do) Good CG's/art as well.

A rather deep and sad story wrapped around a mostly run-of-the-mill horror cliched setting and story. Worth a play during a stay-in-because-of-the-rain day. Not worth another just to see a 2nd ending. Just youtube that. Recommended but only on sale. Looking forward to trying the other games in the series now.

I saw a play of this in the past from some popular gamer (I think it was PewDiePie) and unlike most RPG games, I did not attempt to play it because I was TERRIFIED of the monster. Now, I figured I'd give it a try out of curiosity and as a changed person. It was surprisingly easy and of course, good. The positives I think are the realistic aspects of the game, of depression and being suicidal, of hating your child self to the point of wishing death upon them and of giving up not equating to an ended life. It's actually nice and informative, in a way. The game has also a great ambiance; kept me on the edge of my seat because I was expecting jumpscares here and there (which there were minimal, actually). I like that it focuses more on the story than just being plain horror and whatnot. The art is also good! The negatives are not much, just that it takes time to figure some puzzles out and some memorization required. I kept wandering hallways lost and confused lol. Anyway would still recommend!
