Newly created studio Crows Crows Crows has announced that it will debut its first game very soon. William Pugh, the studio’s director and co-creator/designer of The Stanley Parable, released a playable teaser on the studio’s website. The game has not yet been named. In addition to the teaser, which may contain valuable information if players are able to decode the error message in the third screen, the only other information available exists in three screenshots. The screenshots seem reminiscent of atmospheric horror games. However, if it follows the model of The Stanley Parable in terms of surprises and plot twists, players should be in for a satisfying play-through. Curious players can sign up with the Crows Crows Crows official website to hear “SECRETS and WHISPERS” from the development team. Those who sign up will also get a creepy picture of a whale, as promised on the studio’s homepage. ----- Sources: Crows Crows Crows Images: PC Gamer

VG247.com issued an apology to Naughty Dog, the developer behind the Uncharted series. The website published an article on September 30 under the title, "Is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End too formulaic?"

Unfortunately for VG247, they had actually been playing a remastered Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, straight out of the Uncharted Collection.
