Description
From the creator of To the Moon: A Bird Story is a simple, surreal short about a boy and a bird with a broken wing. Its sole purpose is to tell a story, and can be viewed as a narrative/animation with interactivity -- but without a line of dialogue.

It is a standalone game with its own beginning and endings; but for those who's played To the Moon, the boy eventually grows up to become the next patient in the series.

Short game that leaves emotional imprint

I loved this story-game. I do feel I become a part of an already outlined story – and therefore just have to follow along the ride - but I am glad I could be a part of that story because it is beautiful. The game is very short and the ordinary price is more then I think it should be, but I bought it under the fall sale for 1/4 of the price, which I feel is right compered to the length of the game. The game is very well made and emotional. It has no text so you just have to react to what you see and hear – the music is great and there are a lot of sound effects - and come to conclusions. I will play this game again soon.

Lovely, moving story with gentle humor

I had to right this review after reading the line "this is not a tear jerker" in another review. I guess it depends on the kind of person you are. If you have compassion for all living things, not just humans, this is indeed a tear jerker. I out and out cried at the end. Partly because it was over perhaps! Truly an engaging and beautiful game. My husband gave it to me as a gift and I have just purchased To the Moon to continue my journey. I like gentle, emotionally reflective games and I am sure this was fulfill my need to continue the boy with bird adventure. And for those who worry about price, there can be no complaints there. Thanks GOG!

Touching story in a small package

Really touching story about a boy and a bird. Can you call it a game - not directly. It's more like interactive story-telling. But the story is great and music is very atmospheric. Nice, short and heartwarming story. Totally worth buying.

An Experience

It's not exactly a game, it's more likely an experience. I bought it on sale and it was worth the money, despite the not very high reviews by users. It's not exactly a Visual Novel, not exactly a Point and Click, not exactly a Videogame, not exactly a book. It's a digital work of art with brilliant graphic and excellent and appropriate OST. It's very short but don't they say that good games don't last long?
