About
A Bird Story is an indie action fantasy RPG and adventure title developed and published by Freebird Games. Released on November 7, 2014, this single-player experience functions as a narrative animation with interactivity rather than a traditional dialogue-heavy game. The project serves as a simple, surreal short centered on a boy and a bird with a broken wing. It operates as a standalone game with its own beginning and endings, though fans of the developer's previous work may note that the boy eventually grows up to become the next patient in the series. The gameplay combines adventure elements with classic RPG aesthetics while maintaining an espresso execution style that avoids time drains. Players will encounter a blur between reality and imagination throughout this wordless, one-hour journey. The experience includes an original soundtrack tailored specifically to the narrative. Freebird Games describes the project as experimental and somewhat polarizing, particularly for those who have played To the Moon or Finding Paradise. Regardless of its status as a small experimental effort, the title offers a complete story without requiring dialogue lines.

A Bird Story Critic Reviews and Review Scores

A Bird Story uses nuanced visual language to tell a wonderful, heartfelt story about friendship and loneliness.

And yet beneath the mis-steps and the schmaltz, and beneath the dictatorial heft of the soundtrack - gorgeous and emotive, but laid on a little too heavily throughout - there's still that fascinating glimpse of a boy making the best of a lonely childhood. A boy in search of escape - escape from the empty world he's been granted and, perhaps, from the predictable narrative that's been imposed on it.

The sentimental, dull, superficially interactive story isn't worth a few cute moments and some interesting surrealism.

A Bird Story is a short but bittersweet tale that uses sparse interaction to great effect.
