So... here again. In this process to get to the place that I will tell you, we will use codes. Now, it's nothing secret, we actually have it right under our noses but it took time to know each effect of each code. Anyway, I'm going to stop beating around the bush. The giant computer room with the interactive keyboard allows you to activate an effect in the game. I won't go into that in depth, if you are curious about each effect, YoshiBush posted a photo with each effect in the comments below, look for it. In any case, to save ourselves the trouble of resetting the "emulator" to achieve the desired "anomaly", we simply go down to the computer room and press the J key. For the effect to be executed, leaving the room is enough. What anomaly occurs with the J key? At the water well level, all the bars will disappear. This is of utmost importance for us since we have to go beyond the limits of this level. Also, if you are curious, this effect allows you to see the tombs up close. Anyway, I had told you that we need this anomaly activated to get out of the limits, but first we need to get all the "blood" out to avoid drowning, so you simply do the corresponding process and once the blood is gone you will notice that the bars green to avoid our passage, now they are no longer present. The problem is that in some sectors there is the happy "invisible wall" that will bother us. But don't worry, your uncle is here to guide you. You should go to the room with the door to the heart room, being in that room instead of going through where the heart is, jump into the well where the blood was before and in one of those invincible walls you should be able to go through, when you do. Just head under the heart room and the traps and at some point you will fall into a giant and almost empty room... Except for this.
who here doesn't know about the 4th jump exploit that's hard to maneuver in the vent of the back of the building and past the illusion path and a shovel surrounded by a school man fish. i have gotten close to the center but there was a death top of the plot. i wonder if anyone has gotten that before.
To pass that part you must witness an "anomaly". The fish must disappear for you to get the shovel, the thing they are protecting. Don't worry, I already found a way to "force this anomaly", go to the computer room under the flowers and press "F", the come back and the fish are gone.
Just one more thing: I found a way to do the crow's secret again to get to the hospital.
Beyond the fact that there are more beings on hospital stretchers, the only interesting thing I found is that the main character is the same when we enter the building, but he will progressively change to that of a crow without a bandage and with green eyes.
There are various effects that occur randomly, you can force or reset them by pressing various keys in the computer room, "O" makes the building disappear or reappear, "R" resets all effects to default
Has anyone found a way to exit the debug world without the "emulator" crashing? The big button seems to drain the water, would be interesting if it did so in the whole game
Only the background appears, there is no longer even a floor or the title CATASTROPHE CROW.
Then black screen and very forced breathing sounds, as if it were difficult to breathe
Then the game started, it was broken, very broken, I couldn't jump and the crow was very slow, then it fell, and the game restarted to its original state
Does anyone know if there is more after this?, or is this the end of this secret?
So, carefully feel your way around the map and try to get to the "WORK" building. Emphasis on "carefully" because any wrong step may lead you under the map, and you can't respawn from falling here. Maybe you could restart the whole process, but that would take some time.
Again, thanks for your advice, I found the way to the building, when the game broke completely, there were certain textures that despite being broken, seemed solid, so I followed that path and entered the building,
Inside the building everything changed, including the main character, everything began to look as if it were a hospital and after exploring a little I ended up finding two more crows, I was not able to interact with them.
The computers in the numpad room display a different password each time you pause. Inputting these into the keyboard seems to have various effects. Exiting the level from the pause menu while different passwords are displayed also seems to have various effects. Its difficult to distinguish whats caused by inputting them, and whats caused by exiting, but it seems to open up the game for exploration A LOT:
Also waiting on the title screen for a bit seems to cause these things to appear from every window in the game. Both inside and outside. UPDATE: This effect seems to be permanent and remains even after reloading the page/restarting the game.
UPDATE 2: This seems to be cause by pressing M on the keyboard in the computer room.
Hello!! Turns out.. I was way off the mark!! The effects are caused separately by each keyboard key, YoshiBush replied to one of my other comments on here with a list of what all the buttons do.
Lately I've been reading the comments and playing this, since I love the vibe that goes into this. So, I registered to give my next contribution: Do you know the part where at the first scenario the music from the title screen of the game plays repeatedly? The one under the jump and surrounded by the fence? Well, here's the easter egg with that part. Stop in the area where the music plays, open the "PAUSE MENU", then press "RETURN TO TITLE" and at that moment the magic will begin. If you have done it correctly, the game should start again, but with the peculiarity that the Nintendo 64 logo and "CROW" do not appear. There is more, but I'll leave it for you to see, it's not a big deal but it is something.
Edit: See the reply to this comment, it explains the actual reasons behind what was happening in my game
nputting codes into the computer seems to have various effects, I will document this here as I explore. You can get these codes from pausing the game and looking at the monitors in the numpad room. Exiting world when a different password is displayed also seems to have various effects.
Inputting SLQWZ - when you pause, your coordinates show up.
Exiting during SLQWZ - Seems to make the vase spawn in front of the entrance to the keyboard room, Also seems to have a random chance of putting you in a version of the world thats mirrored, has the skybox replaced with solid grey and the work building is missing. There seems to be no way to progress further other than to reset.
Inputting OKOAR - Seems to change the world to its regular mirrored counterpart, also causes a glitched cursor to appear on the pause screen
In the forest level there is a well that you can jump down. I don't remember what turns to take but theres a room with four tombstones that is normally blocked by a metal bar gate, but if you press "J" the gate disappears. It also gets rid of the gate to the beating heart thing and the swinging blades.
Edit: I didn't know exactly what to call it, seeing as some of the keys effects start with the letter of the key (like "F" for fish, "G" for gravity etc.) so I went with jail door cause it kinda looks like prison bars.
I probably could have made things a bit clearer before sending the picture. With "K" the first time I got the key on top of the office building it was a wind-up key, every other time though its been a normal key for doors. So maybe pressing "K" works both ways? Could have done more testing with that.
Oh also, pressing the "Return to Title" option in the pause menu doesn't seem to reset any keys you pressed. But "crashing" the game with "Q" reboots the game with a random set of pressed keys.
Thank you, I knew about these but assumed you were talking about something else since theres a conventional path to go through in the well using the levers inside
I'm exploring the game and found some secrets that I want to share. I still don't quite understand it, but I managed to get several keys and access areas where I don't see any changes. Whatever I get, I'll share it on the channel.
I figured it out and why you keep getting random stuff every time you play again it changes weird because I pause the game in the computer room and get random codes
Cool game, though one criticism - the scan line effect is wrong. Scan lines on CRTs are horizontal, not vertical, so the effect is a bit off. Also, if we could get the option to turn the scan lines off entirely, that would be nice as well. Anyways, apart from that, good game! Fun platforming and secrets abound.
There were a few times where i broke broke the game by accidentally hopping out of bounds before the triggered events and i got stuck in a spot where it won't let me move anymore ;~; I got the portion of the way through a puzzle and it ruined the run making me re do all of it, just to get a small text bubble at the end of the secret. (at least i think it was the end?) that read "...." and then sent me back to the first area with everything glitched (im sure on purpose, but I didn't know where to go from there or if i was done with that particular secret) but i thought it would end with me finding what lies beyond the games boundaries, but maybe i did something out of sequence? I scrapped the run after that cuz i was truly stumped on weather or not i did things right or if i still had some more steps to do to get the FULL out of bounds experience. to avoid spoilers but to also give a hint to those who know what im talking about, I got the game inverted, then went to the fist area outside of the work building, and jumped over the middle peaks that meet, and a scarecrow man jumped down on the other side, then the game wants you to find the scarecrow and the jump off the hill side out of bounds, the scarecrow man stands in front of a tunnel and i follow him in. i was then transported to a new location, desert looking type of level, where you have to follow the scarecrow through what seems to be an invisible maze, i finish out that part after interacting with an entity in an arm chair *shown in image* it then boots you back to the main hub outside of work, but everything is extra glitchy and some textures are replaced with sand. for those who know, is there anymore to this specific secret or was that the end of said sequence?
Hmm... Be safe? Or.. explore further? Sehr sehr tempting...
"Hmm... Be safe? Or... explore further? Very very tempting..."
If you want to get here, go under the first level, with all the blocks and chess pieces! You can follow a certain trail to unlock the computer! Though it doesn't seem to work...I won't spoil what... or possibly who's hidden ;)
Yo estuve jugando un ratito y me metí a la sala de la computadora que se entra atrá vez de un jardín amarillo al principio de este entonces estando ahí me puse a teclear cosas al azar y no salía nada hasta que pause el juego en frente de la pantalla y me encontré esto no sé si se relevante pero de me hizo curioso

what computer room with flowers?
I'm sorry to be the one to break your hope, but the answer is no. If you check the comments you will see that several have arrived at the same place.
Just one more thing: I found a way to do the crow's secret again to get to the hospital.

Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I notice that the new crow's cry screams differently when doing the triple jump.
Yes, the sound is a little deeper when the character changes
There are various effects that occur randomly, you can force or reset them by pressing various keys in the computer room, "O" makes the building disappear or reappear, "R" resets all effects to default
it doesn't crash its probably your computer

Stand where that big crow is and return to title. After that, start the game.
Hey, I followed your advice and things happened.
The title screen is terribly broken
Only the background appears, there is no longer even a floor or the title CATASTROPHE CROW.
Then black screen and very forced breathing sounds, as if it were difficult to breathe
Then the game started, it was broken, very broken, I couldn't jump and the crow was very slow, then it fell, and the game restarted to its original state

and found the message
"i was so angry"
Have you found anything else after exploring the inside of the building
I explored the building, but apparently there wasn't much else.
Do you know how to trigger the larger crow appearing?
First, boot up the game like normal and stand on one of the "holes" underneath the arch. If you hear the Main Menu theme, go back to the title screen.
Oh. Never mind
Secret level on the tittle screen
Secret room under the stairs.
oh ok
How you get there?
I would be happy to make a video to show you
you slide down somewhere on the wall
here you go
for once the audio doesn't sound like shit
Cool, thank you very much. I never thought of doing it there.

hey your real good at finding things on this game you think I can help

Wait you get any music at all when playing?
yeah, you don't?
Oh I got it, I had my game too quiet to hear it
its just a gif
update he was right that one spot plays the intro music
Since the page only allows content of 3mb (and I don't want to upload anything to YouTube) I uploaded the process in a gif.

I wonder if I can add a picture of my notes...
I think it works.
That's awesome, thank you for the findings, im surprised by how simple it was
Could I ask where are the "steel bar jail doors" youre reffering to located?
In the forest level there is a well that you can jump down. I don't remember what turns to take but theres a room with four tombstones that is normally blocked by a metal bar gate, but if you press "J" the gate disappears. It also gets rid of the gate to the beating heart thing and the swinging blades.

Men, I had also noticed this and was trying to figure out each effect of each button. But you've saved me a lot of time. Good job!
I PRESSED TAB WHEN THE GAME STARTED
I'm exploring the game and found some secrets that I want to share. I still don't quite understand it, but I managed to get several keys and access areas where I don't see any changes. Whatever I get, I'll share it on the channel.
How to make the link pinned to the video.
Secret Code / Secret RoomNever before have I gotten startled by a chess piece.
I feel like it knows if your taking screen shots and what your doing
that got a little bit dark
I figured it out and why you keep getting random stuff every time you play again it changes weird because I pause the game in the computer room and get random codes
matpat :'3

I won't spoil what... or possibly who's hidden ;)Please make a downloadable version
I found a message in the computer room that translates to "were only made as thin 2 splay", Does anyone have more phrases
i get more two, "in the end your little crows" and "to call you back once more"
To call you back once more, in the end your little crows were only made as thin 2 splay.
NO WAY!!!!!
This looks like a great game! But does this work on real hardware?
some more stuff i found
I got up there first try how did you keep falling
my game is inverted
skill issue imo
kinda looks like its saying crow

hey, how can I disable the VCR effect?
That's the neat part.
You don't.
why
I have no idea. I just don't think you can disable it, unfortunately.
The amount of times I drowned myself on purpose...At least five times...
