Scarecrow

Scarecrow is a crime drama set in 1990s Severodvishchensk, a small, poor town split between dangerous gangs. Residents live in fear, whether they are human or beast. You play Robert, a fox hitman who carries out his boss’s orders, but during a harsh winter he begins to question who he is and what he deserves as painful memories return.

Live by day

By day, you walk the quiet streets of an aging post-Soviet city and meet its residents. You can help a friend break out of repeated drinking binges, grow closer to a cat-girl friend, ask a bartender acquaintance and a VHS tape seller about their lives, learn about the hardships faced by homeless people in an abandoned building, and visit your mother.

Kill by night

At sundown, you take on jobs in fast, brutal, top-down shootouts. You can kick in doors, choose from 20 guns, move in quickly or attack from the shadows, and clear each location completely. Missions can involve taking out snipers, healing with medkits, shooting through windows from outside and blowing up fuel barrels.

Choices and setting

Your personal choices affect the ending. Humans and anthropomorphic animals share the world, and the game is set in a nostalgic post-Soviet winter drawn by people who grew up in that period.
