Last November 14th, indie developer Pri Karin released their third title Where Winter Crows Go. The full game is now available to download for free on their itch.io page.
Pri Karin is an Argentinian solo indie dev who specializes in writing mystery and dark fantasy stories. They have released four games in total under their name, the first of which was Tail Me in 2018. They’ve also spawned the group Fable Novel alongside artist YuukiPudding, programmer Mochipie, and animator Marcherin. As of 2023, Fable Novel has released three games under their brand.
Where Winter Crows Go is Pri Karin’s third full title as a solo indie dev. Prior to the full release, two demo versions were made available in December 2022 and February 2023. According to their FAQ page, Where Winter Crows Go will likely be their last freeware game due to costs related to game development.
