The Crow's Calling brings two wonderfully sinister, plague-inspired Hunters to Hunt: Showdown 1896, backed by a generous stash of Blood Bonds and an aesthetic so perfectly suited to the game's grim world that it feels right at home in the darkness.

Once You Get It: The Scary School turns ordinary classrooms and corridors into clever little mysteries, where the real horror is realising what you failed to notice. Its strongest puzzles deliver satisfying flashes of insight, although occasional obscure clues and limited replay value hold it back.
