Quick Look: A Bird Story

Nice, another GBeast joint!

Punderful!

If you haven't, you should check out Bird's tweets.

Unique material every morning.

Awesome, another walking simulator. Boom!

The ending of To The Moon got me harder than any game I've ever played. I want to check this out for sure, but gotta make sure I'm not in the mood for 'gameplay' first.

We've got a sparrow that's been 'trapped' in the lobby of my office building since sometime in August. It seems to be doing OK... and it's crapping everywhere. Probably not a good thing, this being technically a medical facility.

I really enjoyed To the Moon while it lasted. Just have to be prepared to FEEL before I start this.

Damn the music in this is beautiful. Was it this good in To The Moon?

Have you heard...

About the bird...?

Absolutely. I still listen to the soundtrack every now and again.

Good to know. I got To The Moon in a humble bundle a while back. Ill have to try that soon.

I loved To The Moon, but can't shake the feeling that these RPG Maker games bother me.

To The Moon was simply amazing, one of the most touching, personal stories ever. It's what Gone Home wishes it could have been.

An eggciting quick look.

As someone who thought To The Moon was a super endearing story with a obnoxious, eye rolling interruptions they try to pass off as, "gameplay" i'd say this sounds like a more fitting style to what they're trying to achieve.

Probably won't play it myself, but it's nice to see this thing become more confident in what it's trying to do. Maybe Telltale games can learn a thing or two from it.

If you didn't think RPG Maker games could tell compelling stories, these games really make you eat crow.

Yea I really had a pheasant time watching this QL.

It's good to hear the guys' o-pinion of this game.

I'm glad you are not down on it.

There are two ways to read this comment. I chose unwisely.

What's the word on this game?

Ba ba ba ooh ma mau mau

Ba ba ooh mau ma mau

The bird puns in this Quick Look were hard to swallow.

Oh, I thought this was one of those pigeon sex games.

I should really play To the Moon.

Please stop with all these fowl puns.

Yeah, digital alarm clocks are the worst. This is pretty close to the infernal device that used to wake me up, except I remember it being even shriller:

You really should (if you can appreciate a great story/music tho minimal gameplay).

I really loved To the Moon, but was pretty disappointed by A Bird Story. It just lacked the charm and the story lacked the subtlety, and To the Moon without charm and story isn't much..

Also, I didn't mind To the Moon's simplicity cause it was a small studio's small project, but after that game was really successful, I was hoping the next game would be somewhat more. Instead, it's a whole lot less.

To the Moon left me cold, but I'm kinda digging the dreamlike quality in this. The lack of dialogue appeals too, because I found the writing in TtM the weakest part.

Oh damn. Took me a second.

All this squaking about bird puns; don't worry they come cheep.

haha, recognise these environments from TTM

Maybe I'm a bit hawkish about recordkeeping, but my eagle eye counted well over a dozen puns in the comments.

So many fowl puns.

Never mind the floor lamp, no kitchen sink?

Glad to see this game here, it's a really beautiful story =]

I think I might be the only person in the world who really didn't like To the Moon. The writing and the plot did not take me at ALL. This seems of the same ilk.

@schwartzchamp:

I hate, hate, hate to the moon. And i hate this.

@bhlaab:

Finally someone else who feels that way. To the Moon is one of the worst games I've ever played.

I'll get this. I understand the whole thing may be a little cloying to some. But I have killed enough Orks over the past 2 weeks to look for something different, if just momentarily.

Sweet. I could use a game like this when I'm feeling peckish. (⊙︿⊙✿)

These bird puns are worse than bad, they're owlful.

I loved (LOVED!) To the Moon. This game seemed dovely at first with its tweet story and pheasant music, but geesus it got owld fast.

I've heard birds don't like to rehearse. They just go out there and wing it.

Damn. I was sure this were some sort of bird simulator, where the point was flying around and shitting on people.

I'm kinda dissapointed now.

Kinda fascinating to hear of Alex' childhood, especially in how much matches my own.

This game seems pretty cool, but I had a really hard time looking at that view from the balcony where the perspective was WAY OFF.

To The Moon is the only video game to have made me cry. For that it will always have a special place in my heart.
