‘Cellular Harvest’ is ‘Pokémon Snap’ For an Alien World
With EEK3 2020 having come and gone, and with the recent announcement that Pokémon Snap is being revived for the Switch, it seems like a good time to mention that one of the games presented at EEK3 2020, Redact Games’ Cellular Harvest, is now out in the wild. Think Pokémon Snap with a horror twist, where instead of taking photographs of animals, you take pictures of aliens.
The story has you as an Auditor. An AI embedded in your suit evaluates the value of every being you encounter for the corporate interests that direct humanity’s journey into a wider universe. You must now track alien creatures and catalogue their existence with your camera.
It’s a relatively short but relaxed photography game, and it’ll keep you busy with having to fill out an entire album. Plus, you’ll need to get multiple photos of each creature in order to fulfil the requirements.
Cellular Harvest is available now for $6.99, and comes in a pack that gives you either a green sky or a purple version.

‘Crow Country’ Adds Xbox Series Release for May 9th [Trailer]
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
