Takes the puzzle elements of survival horror to their farthest conclusion by making the whole game an intricate little puzzle box, visuals and all. Steep that all in lovingly crafted atmosphere, and Crow Country is an easy recommend.

While my main complaint is that the loot and enemies are both a bit too forgiving (the only time I died my whole first playthrough was in the Mush Room), it was likely on purpose; While I didn't find the game very scary, it understands the strange horror/cozy fugue state of the classic Resi's and Silent Hills to a fine point, just with the scale tipped the other way. I hope more indie games can capture that mentality in the future.
