A Bird Story is the most recent game from Freebird Games. Their previous game, To The Moon, left a real impact on me with its story telling. So maybe I went into this with expectations set a little too high. I’ll be brief about the plot as its not a long game (my Steam counter clocked me just over an hour). You play a boy that takes in an injured bird. Thats as far as I feel I can go without spoilers.
The graphics look great. I’m a sucker for that SNES style era pixel art. Maybe its because I had an Amiga. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my Amiga but it didn’t have many games that looked quite the way a lot of SNES game looked. Maybe it did and I just never got around to playing those games. Another interesting idea is that the game plays out without any text apart from the title screen.
So its £3.99 for an hours worth of entertainment. Which is reasonable. Some might get into the story more than others, personally I found it to be a little underwhelming but I found myself comparing it to To The Moon which is extremely narrative focused. While I find it hard to recommend A Bird Story, I will continue to look forward to the next game Freebird Games puts out.

Can’t say I’ve heard of either game, which is good. Always want love to hear about new games. Particularly narrative focused ones.
I would recommend To The Moon over A Bird Story for narrative. Steam sales are pretty frequent if you are a student or need to save your gaming dollar.
