Masterpiece. I wish all videogames were like this one. A very unique case of happy plot which brings tears to your eyes. Шедевр. ИМХО все игры должны быть такими. Крайне редкий случай счастливого сюжета, который тем ни менее пробивает на слезу.

Silent stories like this aren't always my cup of tea, but this is told so beautifully that I can't help but be moved by it.

A Bird Story is a short, emotional adventure game created by the developers of To the Moon. The story follows a lonely boy who rescues an injured bird, and their growing bond becomes the center of a touching narrative about friendship, compassion, and loss. One of the game’s most distinctive features is that it contains almost no dialogue. Instead, it relies on music, visuals, and simple gameplay to convey emotion. The soundtrack is excellent and complements the story effectively, while the pixel-art style creates a nostalgic atmosphere. The gameplay is minimal, consisting mainly of exploration and light interaction. Players looking for challenging mechanics may find it too simple, but those who appreciate narrative-driven experiences will likely enjoy its emotional focus. Overall, A Bird Story is a heartfelt experience that delivers a memorable story in just an hour. It is best suited for players who value atmosphere and storytelling over complex gameplay.

I once had a bird like this, and I could relate too much with the story Ken games are made with love and dedication, story telling with pixelated expression is a form of art. Time, place, and nostalgia all of those combined with a great pixel art that reminds me of my childhood [h2] 4/5 Superb

A heartfelt game without any dialogue. I like it but had to admit it gets a bit boring in the middle. I guess I miss all the humor and fun playing TTM & FP. It was a beautiful story tho. And yea i did not expect this to actually be a prequel to the finding paradise when playing so it was a very nice surprise.
