About Birds Aren't Real: The Game

Birds Aren’t Real is a 3D sandbox game with a comic twist.

Based on the real-life satirical conspiracy theory, play as a government surveillance pigeon drone, using sneaky maneuvers and creative thinking to manipulate the citizens and dispel their suspicions about the government's avian task force.

Fly around to explore and surveil your surroundings!

Sabotage the conspiracists working against your organization!

Deploy your poop in order to undermine your political detractors!

Birds Aren’t Real aims to find some humor in a time of misinformation and distrust. It's a game for anyone that may need a brief escape from what at times can seem like an overwhelming and deeply pessimistic world.

We invite anyone and everyone to give our game a try!

First thing, why won't my game save? Am I missing something? I don't see a save feature i the menu and every time I back out and go back in I have to start from the beginning. That definitely soured my experience. Otherwise it's cutesy and fun enough. It didn't blow me away or anything. The movement is a bit slow and clunky. I get that was likely a balancing choice for difficulty, but I found myself more often than not frustrated by my lack of movement options. This game is fun for messing around, but I think with a few tweaks it could've been so much more. If you are interested in this game, I would recommend skipping out and maybe playing Rain of my Parade instead. That game has many similar mechanics, but it's more puzzley, has better progression, and you know...saves your game.

Its a cute game that's relatively short and very simple/linear. you unlock hats from collectables and finishing quests and there's always at least one silly thing on the screen while you play. My only gripe is the soft locking that can happen in which I had to 'die' to reset and the freezing at the final mission, making me unable to actually complete the game

terrorise people as birds, ya know the phrase.. birds are made by the government to spy on civillians.. yeah that.
