Box art for Dr. Langeskov

Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist (also knows as Dr. Langeskov, or, alternatively, "that long named one with the tiger") is the debut game by Crows Crows Crows. It was released free-to-play on Steam on December 14th, 2015.

## Synopsis

As the game begins, you are face-down in a garden before a mansion. As you walk around, you may pick up one of many weapons and decide on an entry point. You must avoid the tiger as you enter through the back door, but can avoid it if you enter through the vents. In the kitchen, the story unfolds, and you find a map in which you can find where the emerald is located: deep within the mansion, guards hidden among the rooms. But on the map is a warning: the emerald is cursed.
