3.5/5 ★ – eatpotatochip's review of Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist.

​This one’s actually a free game, it’s made by one of the co-creators of The Stanley Parable. The studio that made this game is called Crows Crows Crows, and they’ve made another free game that I’d recommend - a text-based adventure, playable in your browser, called The Temple Of No. The game itself is good for an hour of amusement, and it has a bunch of replay value if you’re chasing achievement completion. What interests me, however, is how the two creators of The Stanley Parable (which was itself a very meta story about choice in games) took two very different ideas about the creation of art, and ended up making two very different games. Where The Beginner’s Guide focused more on the nature of creation, inspiration, and how the people experiencing the art could actually influence the artist in negative ways, Dr. Langeskov focuses solely on how game development is so weird, and each game is basically a bunch of mechanics and assets held together with barely visible twigs and twine.
