Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) | comment |
Catastrophe Crow, or Crow 64, is an Alternate Reality Game centering around the eponymous unfinished game for the Nintendo 64, made by Adam Butcher, known for his Internet Story video.The first video initially presents itself as a documentary of Catastrophe Crow, a game by the notorious perfectionist Manfred Lorenz. As the video goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that the game is no ordinary piece of software. The ARG is continued through multiple videos on various channels.On August 19th, 2021, according to Adam Butcher, it appears that the ARG is over. However, Butcher finally released the game on April 26th, 2024, with future updates planned. The game can be played here. | |

Creator Breakdown | |
Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_10f35f3a | comment |
Creator Breakdown: invokedIn-universe, Manfred Lorenz (already something of an eccentric) underwent one during Catastrophe Crow's development. As the game's release date kept being pushed back, he made odd demands of staff while staying away from home for months. Eventually, he let all of his staff go and seemingly kept working on the game by himself, before suddenly disappearing and drowning himself. Or at least, so it seemed... | |

Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Marta Lorenz is only mentioned once by name, and her whereabouts after leaving the country in 2001 is unknown. Zig-Zagged with Nils Lorenz, who is not mentioned once in "WHAT HAPPENED TO CROW 64" but becomes a major character afterwards. Sir Cat is supposedly the villain of the game, but is only mentioned in the briefly shown magazine scans. | |

Deuteragonist: In some videos, Mr. Crow is seen using a mirror in the Forest level to swap to a secondary crow character who's smaller and doesn't have a bandaged wing, thus gaining the ability to glide by flapping its wings. A conversation with the elder crow in "Let's Play Catastrophe Crow! 64 – Ep1" implies that this second crow is based on Manfred's other child, a son named Nils. | |

Rule of Symbolism: The development cart seen in the eBay photo is a mostly blank N64 cartridge with just the word "CROW" on it. In the game footage, Mr. Crow encounters the elder crow crying in front of a grave... with a gravestone that just says "CROW" on it, in the same lettering as the gray coincidentally tombstone-shaped cartridge, possibly symbolizing the cart's status as a memorial. | |

Riddle for the Ages: So what happened to the Lorenz family? And what does Catastrophe Crow! and its weird imagery represent in regards to the tragedy? Is the game really haunted or did Manfred Lorenz add all the freaky events in order to illustrate something? How does the so-called "eternal revival" system factor into things? Even constructing together all the clues presented in the ARG only leaves a partial answer to things, leaving fans to draw their own interpretations. | |

All for Nothing: What the game's development amounted to; it's all but stated that Manfred Lorenz made the game with his daughter in mind, and later cryptically told a developer, "the player is gone".

Refuge in Audacity | |
Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Lampshaded. It's pretty clear that all members of the Crow family uses the same eye sprites as Mario from Super Mario 64. Even Manfred was concerned about this when he sent the character design to Nintendo for approval. However, in the e-mail included with the game's development documents, the design was approved, and while Nintendo noticed the eye sprites, they let the issue slide and pass it off as mere coincidence. But viewers also found out that the main HUB area also uses the same skybox as Shifting Sand Land, only with the desert being recolored to make it look like a grassy field. It's unclear if Nintendo gave Opus some assets from Super Mario 64 or if Manfred stole them from Nintendo. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: A (possibly) haunted game that was supposed to be dedicated to the daughter of the lead developer? Aren't we talking about Nanashi no Game? | |

Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_e47e0eb | comment |
Scary Scarecrows: The taller of the two monsters that stalk Mr. Crow. It's implied to be the spirit of Mr. Crow's mom, and represent Marta Lorenz. | |

No Ending: In "WHAT HAPPENED TO CROW 64?", Video Review Show host Adam Butcher stops giving live commentary once the game gets going, saying he'll come back to give his thoughts at the end of the video. This never happens. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: By the late stages of the game's development, even the rest of Opus Interactive's staff didn't know what was happening anymore. There are differing accounts from ex-employees as to what was causing Manfred Lorenz's changing behavior, and the modelers and artists were being told to make assets without knowing what they were for. | |

Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_f12cb4f0 | comment |
Written for My Kids:invoked Catastrophe Crow's main character came from a drawing by Manfred's daughter, and it's implied that the game was developed by him with her in mind. It's also implied that she died during development, causing/contributing to Manfred's breakdown. | |

Dark Reprise | |
Catastrophe Crow (Web Video) / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: A (poorly looped) 4 seconds version of the title theme is played again after the player plays as a crow with glasses, but sounds deeper and melancholic. | |

He Also Did: In-Universe, Opus Interactive and Manfred Lorenz are touted for their other (and ultimately only released) game, an acclaimed SNES title called Ocean Quest. Becomes a bit of Fridge Horror when you consider Lorenz' eventual fate. | |
