Scarecrow: 90s Crime Story at a glance

What is Scarecrow: 90s Crime Story?

It's the criminal '90s in Severodvishchensk, a small, poor town torn in two by dangerous gangs, where humans and anthropomorphic animals live side by side. You're Robert, a fox who carries out his boss's dirty jobs with no questions asked, until one harsh winter something in him breaks and painful memories start to surface.

How does the day and night gameplay work?

• Live by day: walk the streets of an aging post-Soviet town and get to know the locals: help a friend off a drinking binge, get closer to your cat-girl friend, hear the stories of the bartender, the VHS seller and the homeless in the abandoned building, and visit your mom.
• Kill by night: every job comes in at sundown. It's fast, brutal top-down action: kick in doors, choose from 20 guns, go in loud or strike from the shadows, take out snipers, shoot through windows and blow up fuel barrels. Your goal is to clear every location.

Your personal choices affect the ending. The soundtrack is by Acryl Madness, isekaifromsaratov and Myasorubin, and the developers say the winter town was "drawn by people who grew up in it themselves".
