Lovely story and an easy 100%. The story of the game was great and very well designed.

Sept. 2024

A tiny interactive story with a touching plot. Definitely like Freebird Games!

Aug. 2024

Why you should play this game: - Title is accurate; it is a story that prominently features a bird - Prequel to Finding Paradise in the To The Moon series - Imaginative - Short - Good soundtrack - No dialog means it's accessible across all languages Why you shouldn't play this game: - Walking simulator - Sees no need to further explain itself (something that isn't entirely clarified in Finding Paradise) - May come off a bit odd if one hasn't played any other games in the series

July 2024

There's not much more to say. 'A Bird Story' is a testament to the power of simple storytelling and a must-play for fans of narrative-driven games. I'm really excited for the sequel, 'Finding Paradise.'

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." - Maya Angelou Sum-Up In-depth analysis further down. 🟩 Pros 🟥 Cons • Simple, sad, and touching story. • Great to complete in one sitting. • No Ultrawide support. • Not as expansive as the first game. • No gameplay elements. Walking sim. 🟨 Bugs & Issues‎ 🔧 Specs ⚙️ Settings & FPS No issues encountered. • CPU: i7-12700K • RAM: 32GB DDR4 • GPU: 3080 10GB • SD: SSD • RES: 1440p Settings: Ultra FPS: 75+ 🌌 Content & Replay Value The game took me no more than 2 hours to complete. You have one achievement, and that is to beat the story. No replay value as the story is linear. 💵 Is it worth buying? Yes. But I'd get it bundled or at a discount. It's too short to feel you got your money's worth. 🎮 Steam Deck Compatibility Works well. It's where I played it. Had no issues with the controls and I used regularly the touch screen. 🧾 Verdict: Good [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2761784706] Rating Chart Here Compared to the previous game, this feels more like an experience. You interact less and have no puzzles to solve. It's a walking sim and you're here to explore the story that is being presented to you. You have no control how the story ends, yet it's a wonderful game to experience. [quote=TalePlay] Check our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38352719/] Curator Page for short reviews.

In-depth ⚔️ Gameplay & Exploration: A Bird Story is the sequel to the famous game To The Moon. Although the characters presented are not related or old characters making an appearance. It feels confusing about what the relationship between the story told here and To The Moon, but I hope to better understand in the next games. It's a walking simulator, where you just follow the story that's given to you. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3177030015 😄 Fun: I liked the first one and I enjoyed this one fairly the same. 🏞 Visuals & Presentation: I can see slight improvements on the visuals, animations and a couple of elements, but overall, it's very similar with the old one. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3177030080 🔊 Sound & Voice-Acting: Simplistic and quite minimal details in the sound, yet enough to make you understand the story. The game is not voiced, nor does it use any form of text to tell you the story. Yet, you somehow understand the characters to the use of emoticons. 📖 Story & Writing: The best part of the game is the story. Although it's not spectacular, it tells a story of a boy, that struggles from loneliness. His father isn't introduced, although we do understand that his raised by his mother, who is busy working for the most part and not giving much time to help nurture and connect with his sone. This lonely boy revolves around his imagination a lot and often times throughout the story you'll find it hard to understand what is real and what is imagination. His connection with his newfound friend, the pigeon creates a heartwarming experience that really resonates with me because I own a parrot and nurtured a wood pigeon not too long ago, so despite those aspects, I bet a lot of people will appreciate the simplistic, wholesome and touching story told in this game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3177030248 🧵 Length & Difficulty: Very short and easy game to complete. ⭕️Verdict: A Bird Story tells a sad, yet wonderful story about a boy nurturing a pigeon. The story resonates very close to my heart, because I own a parrot as bird and a while back I took into care a wood pigeon that was sadly hit by a car. Although I had to give it to wildlife-trained professionals to assist the pigeon back into full health, I don't know what has happened to it ever since I gave it. I got no contact from the veterinarians.
