Scrow Island is a first-person horror adventure focused on exploration, puzzle-solving, and uncovering buried truths. You play as Jack , a lone traveler who arrives at the island years after his father vanished during a mysterious rescue mission. What begins as a personal journey soon turns into a terrifying fight for survival on an island bound by ancient elemental forces and long-forgotten tragedies . Stranded and disoriented after a violent storm wrecks your boat, you wake up on the shores of Scrow Island—a place the world has left behind. As you begin to explore, you discover remnants of a fallen civilization, strange glowing symbols, and dark spiritual energy tied to five powerful elemental stones : Nature, Air, Water, Fire, and Thunder . These stones must be uncovered and activated by solving environmental puzzles, unlocking paths, and facing the island’s haunting manifestations. But something deeper watches you. The island is alive, and it remembers. Game Features Story-Driven Horror Experience Unravel a rich narrative filled with mystery, emotion, and supernatural elements. Every object, note, and puzzle reveals more of Jack’s past—and the island’s forgotten horrors. Atmospheric World Immerse yourself in a handcrafted island full of eerie forests, abandoned temples, twisted caves, and dynamic weather that adds tension and unpredictability to your journey. Elemental Puzzle Design Solve unique puzzles tied to each elemental stone. Each one challenges you to think, explore, and connect clues scattered across the environment. Supernatural Encounters Face ghostly spirits, strange illusions, and otherworldly phenomena. Some will guide you. Others will try to stop you. Exploration & Survival Mechanics Use a limited inventory system, inspect strange objects, manage light sources (flashlight, torch, glowstick), and navigate using maps and environmental clues. Your survival depends on what you observe. Immersive Audio Design Dynamic 3D audio, environmental soundscapes, and layered horror SFX pull you deeper into the island's terrifying presence. Solo Developer Passion Project Developed by a single indie developer under the name Dober&Rex Game , Scrow Island is a deeply personal project created with care, creativity, and a love for atmospheric horror.
