About The Last Birdling

Bimonia is one of the last Birdlings alive on this earth. The Birdlings see humans as sworn enemies, and Bimonia has been taught to kill on sight.

One day, Bimonia meets Tayo, a human child hunting in the forest. Bimonia fails to kill Tayo, and they instead become friends. Mother will be furious if she finds out, or worse, this relationship may cause tension between the two species to erupt.

The Last Birdling explores Bimonia and Tayo's fight for their friendship as the world threatens to tear them apart.

Unhack, the first game created under the InvertMouse name, was produced in 2012. That means The Last Birdling happens to be my fifth anniversary project. This game is a culmination of all the lessons I have learned through the past five years. Now, I would like to share with you several features available in The Last Birdling:

Dual perspectives:

The Last Birdling alternates between Bimonia and Tayo's perspectives. Follow their journeys from childhood to adolescence as they struggle to maintain their friendship against all odds.

Multiple endings:

There are 21 decisions to make throughout Bimonia and Tayo's journeys. Depending on their resolve, this story will conclude in one of five ways. Use the progress tracker to determine how to obtain every ending.

Glossary:

Thank you! I hope you will find the experience worthwhile.

This visual novel is a hidden gem. It tells the story of two little girls of different species trying to be friends in a world where their respective peoples hate one another, and their struggle to maintain their friendship as they grow up. It's heartwrenching and beautiful and one of the most emotionally resonant pieces of media I've ever consumed.

The Last Birdling, written by Invert Mouse, is an emotional & tear-jerking visual novel. Featuring an opportunity to uncover the [spoiler]dark[/spoiler] truths of each perspectives. Tayo, the proud archer daughter of Airin & Binamon, the remnant Birdling species on earth. The chapters feels short paced making it in my opinion easier to not get bored from 1 perspective's narrations. Each character features a choice that shapes the outcomes of their (bonded) friendships. Will they care for each other or will each go their own ways ? The choice lies in your hands.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Well-written visual novel with a beautiful and heartbreaking story about two little girls becoming friends, but the big problem is that their species hate each other. The story and different endings ripped my heart out, i recommend.

The Last Birdling, developed and published by InvertMouse, is a heartfelt visual novel that tells a small, intimate story about friendship, prejudice, and the painful cost of understanding. It takes place in a world where humans and birdlings—winged humanoids—once coexisted, but a long and bloody conflict has left their relationship steeped in fear and hatred. The story begins with two young girls, Tayo, a human from a quiet village, and Bimonia, one of the last surviving birdlings. When they meet by chance in the woods, what should have been an encounter between enemies instead becomes the beginning of an unlikely friendship. This fragile connection between the last of one race and a girl raised to fear her kind becomes the heart of the narrative, and from its opening moments, The Last Birdling makes it clear that its tale will not be a simple or happy one. It is a story about the innocence of childhood colliding with the cruelties of the world, told with the directness and emotional sincerity that define InvertMouse’s work. Structurally, the story alternates between the two girls’ perspectives, allowing players to see how their friendship forms and changes through each of their …
