★★★★☆

While I like the idea of a character book, it doesn’t really mean much to me after I’ve played the game, especially since it might be a little while until I actually take the time to look at the DLC or buy it. At that point, I don’t really remember who the characters are, and, even after getting done with the game again, I still wouldn’t really remember them, because I’ve got such a bad memory.

What I really wish they did was give us more journal entries so we could learn about the characters through their own writing, instead of basically being told about them like some preacher giving us their eulogy at a funeral.

If you’re a writer, I’m sure you know the whole “show, don’t tell.” Well, a diary entry would’ve been the perfect show, in this case.

But…at least we get something on them. At least they’ve been made human instead of simply text on a screen.

We even get their faces, which I do enjoy the scribble art style.

It’s so great to hear how a developer goes about creating their own game. Even moreso, their thought process while creating the game itself, as well as the problems they had to force themselves to get through and the mental stress they had to overcome.

Especially knowing that this game was created in a single week based on a specific theme of “It’s been a long time, but we’re not done yet.”

It’s especially good for other aspiring game developers to listen to in order to understand that sometimes you have to force a game out of your head and meet the bugs and the flaws head on and not give up, even when the rain doesn’t come until you’re the last man standing.

The wallpapers are a nice touch, and I actually expected them to have something along the lines of the in-game art style, but no.

These are much more easy on the eyes and calming, compared to what you see in-game.

I enjoy the second one with the night theme the most.

★★★★★

The audio is one of the best features of this game. Whimsical tunes to dreary melodies, everything about the music sets the mood.

Which is a good thing, considering there is no speaking in this game. The music kind of guides you into what's happening as scenes transition from one area to another.

It's not always about the music either. Sometimes it's about the smaller sounds. Of nature, of paperwork, of school. The sounds in general go great with this game.

You can't wander around much in A Bird Story. Instead, you can follow a small, set path to where you're needed to go, or you watch as the main character interacts with the world before you're able to take initiative.

Navigation was a bit rough for me while using a controller, but you can also use mouse and keyboard--which is more recommended.

Nothing stands out too much as far as the graphics go, but that doesn't make the game bad or doesn't give it a charm. I've always liked pixel art in games, because they take time to create (if not using a generator, I suppose).

You go left, up, down, and right.

That's more-or-less the kind of gameplay you'll be dealing with. But aside from that, you'll also be interacting with objects and people.

Take note that there is no words being given toward you or others. This game is all about actions that are being taken. That's where the whole story comes into play, and it's a very nice style. Words tend to get in the way, sometimes.

In the end, A Bird Story is a very short, but very good game that features the power of friendship and caring for others, despite them being completely different from you.

Everyone thinks about their dogs or cats as lifelong companions, but hey. Sometimes they can be squirrels, foxes, or even--you guessed it--birds.
