“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” (Henry David Thoreau) - Shrouded in guilt and self-loathing after abandoning his mother, the only family he has left, in a mental institution, David Hoover is haunted by a monstrous, ghoul-like figure with a crooked neck whose purpose for tormenting him he knows not, but he would soon learn in the 2018 released Survival-Horror/Puzzle-solving video game, “The Crooked Man” (Windows). 🕵🏻♂️🧟♂️ 5 separate scenes, 3 very different people, and a premise that’s as intense as it is gripping, #TheCrookedMan was a really good game yours truly loves so much, not just for the psychological-horror element, which is handled beautifully, but for the heart and soul this game possesses, especially in dealing with a man’s anxiety, pain, and guilt which manifested in the form of #TheCrookedMan a creature who unbeknownst to David Hoover, shares a deeper connection with him. A friend once told yours truly: “You took that dark part of yourself, and KILLED it!” to which I told this dear friend “No! Don’t say such things....that’s a part of me I’ve no hatred but absolute love for, because without him I wouldn’t have been able to survive. He is me, and I am him.” That’s the central theme in the tale of this amazing video game. No matter how great the darkness within man may be, or how crooked he may become, even crooked men can achieve happiness and content, they certainly can! 😁❤️ #TheCrookedMan #MansGuilt #DarknessFromWithin #TransformativeJourney #DiscoveringTheTruth #TwoSides #AcceptingOneself #EvenCrookedMenCanBeHappy https://www.instagram.com/mrgamer990/p/BrtN0AejRJu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=csllpfk2j976
