Amazing game with great artwork and music. The conclusion is also awesome.
good
Lovely little game, definitely give it a try ★★★★☆
- Perfect sound design with expressive pixel art characters
- Touching attention to detail
- A beautiful short story – simple yet impactful
WORTH TO TRY for both fans and newcomers, more emotionally potent than a film.
Brilliant work, Kan Gao.
-Beautiful artstyle
-Amazing soundtrack
-Great game
Light on the actual gameplay, this short story-driven game is definitely an interesting experience, especially if you play it after playing "Finding Paradise." It's basically the story Colin and Faye mention of how Colin nursed an injured bird back to health when he was a boy, and in keeping with Colin's remarks about how he can't recall which parts are true and which are his imagination, the story includes many fantastic elements that obviously didn't happen like that. It's also interesting to note that the whole game lacks text or dialogue, so if you haven't played the later, longer entry in the series you won't even know the protagonist's name.
A really cool short heartwarming game, loved it. The characters feels so alive even though it's pixel art it's so cool
And a great soundtrack
What else can I ask for ?
Bird.
two words, confusing and beautiful
Never have I been so confused yet so touched by a game before and A Bird Story will do that to ya. For $3.99 on Steam, it’s an easy game to play to 100% achievement since all you basically have to do is finish the story. I finished the story in a little over 1.5 hours. It’s basically a visual novel without words (yes, there is ZERO dialogue). It plays fine on the Steam Deck itself, but you do have to pull up the Steam keyboard for some commands and then exit out of the keyboard and click the X button to confirm the action.
You play as a little boy who helps out an injured bird and progress through the game as you go through the story. Now, where it confused me is where it got me thinking… am I dead? or, am I dreaming? because how is it that I’m able to fly on a paper airplane with my injured bird? Or, how is it that I go through this door and I’m in a forest and then I end up at my school? Lol. Anyway, I digress, but the ending was touching.
Plagued by the same issues as the previous titles. Did not have a good time with this one. That hour and a half felt like forever.
a beautiful game with a nice story and music
Sad Good Soup...
I don’t know why I played this game for over an hour... it felt like I was hypnotized or something
This story actually made Cry, which I haven't for a long time, I thought I lost the ability to.... and this game made me realize that I indeed did not and I needed to know that..... This Is so much more than a game to me now.... Thank You to the Developers for making such an amazing masterpiece and for helping me reconnect with the ability I thought I lost..... It genuinely means the world to me.
And Again, Thank you so much for putting your work out there, It is helping more people in ways than you Know.
great game
A short game with a bittersweet ending. If you own (or had owned) a pet, I bet you can relate to the story very much.
The artwork is pixel and it's beautiful! There are no dialogues and only speech balloons that pop up at times with a picture of what is being said (or asked). The story is narrated very well and I am in awe with the Story writer who conveys progress with no words.
There will be a lot of parallels to real life, but it's up to the player to grasp them. It's short but packs more content that what you'd imagine for a game of this length.
9/10
A quaint beautiful little story with a lot of heart. 8.5/10
lovely. i really like the artstyle
It's a really charming short story that can both help you pass a bit of time, and give you a different feeling about how birds are present in a person's usually dull and repetitive daily life.
It's a rather boring and short game. The story could also be better especially that its mostly just non interactable. The design is pretty good, but that's already it.
do i regret getting it? kinda
should you get it? i don't know, its your money. but i saw that others do like it, so read the other reviews and make your own picture.
I god this game a long time ago and never played it due to negative reviews saying it was bad and a waste of time. I finally decided to sit down today and give it a shot, and for what it is, I was satisfied.
A bird story is short, and the story it is trying to convey is done well without them using dialog. The music is nice, the art is beautiful, and it has just the right amount of sad moments mixed together with feel good moments.
I've played through 3 of the Freebird Games... games now and i haven't been disappointed with them yet.
truly a bird story of all time
boring ahh game
Compared to the full games I don't recommend this short piece. With pixel art games either dialogue or gaming mechanics are essential in my opinion. Story driven games like To The Moon and similar games or games with good mechanics like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley or Dwarf Fortress do well with pixel art. But this is too "abstract" to be as enjoyable and memorable.
girl...im gonna go cry now. not sure if its out of sadness or happiness
A short and charming story that’s really enjoyable. It’s definitely worth the price, and I love how everything was put together. It takes about an hour to complete, making for a nice, quick experience.
Nice short story to pass the time, definitely worth at 80% off.
A Bird Story is the second game released within the Kan Gao universe. It was released as a little teaser for the next full title, Finding Paradise, but it's recommended to play after said title by the devs. While more than a little confusing on when to play the games in the series, this adventure was cute and continued to have a great soundtrack.
While loving the first game, this title left a lot to be desired. It presents a raw story about companionship and showed how subjective decisions can be in the real world. I liked it, but could probably complain more about it than praise. I'm still going to recommend it because I think it will add a lot character development for Finding Paradise, but could probably be skipped.
It's just really boring.
very sad
bird
its like the before the second old guy you help but you dont cry in this one
Too boring for me. It's nowhere near a masterpiece like "To the Moon". Even though it's not bad, I don't think it's worth the money I paid for it.
Cute game, lovely sound track, and generally a good morale journey. Plus it's an easy 100% completion.
Great entry in the series
A Bird Story
Has a total of 5 trading cards.
A cute and little story game that is told without words but in a highly touching way. Anyone who ever played "To the Moon" will kinda love this game, anyone else is maybe more confused what´s going on but still enjoyed it a lot, even it´s not longer than an hour maximum. Also not much to do, just follow along and finding the story between the things we do and find the reason of emphathy and life of this little boy and his bird friend.
My wife said if this review gets 50 likes and 5 awards, she will buy a case of beer, guys help me out.
比《去月球》更简短普通,却也令人感动。(也要夸夸泪点不再是《去月球》中略显男性视角的小瑕疵在这部中不复存在)依然是聚焦那些孤独、敏感、脆弱、无友的“异类”,给予ta们一个彼此都最美好的幻想,玩到人鸟快乐相处一同过活一段时数次联想到《机器人之梦》桥段(甚至怀疑有借鉴,里面都有一起吃冰淇淋和凝望远方高塔的剧情)。飞了五次寻找新家都无处落脚时开始难过,到了冷雨夜的终结处悲痛情绪爆发,闯入的原生家庭母亲、追赶孩子的兽医、逃离与徒劳,最后骤然霹雳而落的闪电让我蓦然忆及《穆赫兰道》搅拌悲痛与惊惧的迷幻蓝色结尾。好在这一切都没让你受伤,好在你还能回到我身旁。真的假的,梦着醒着,一切都无所谓。我放手让你飞走,因为知道总有一天你会飞回来的,而我会给你分我的面包。
A short story about a boy and his best friend, all told through art and music.
A short sweet emotional experience worth a playthrough, especially for fans of the To The Moon series or if caught on sale. That being said, don't go in expecting particularly complex gameplay or narratives, it's short sweet and to the point.
I very much recommend this as a companion to the more significant entry in the series, 'Finding Paradise'. I continue to look forward to what this developer can accomplish with something as simple as RPG Maker.
This is my favorite game by Freebird games. The story is so cute and deep. I really wasn't expecting the ending. It just goes to show you how precious having an animal in your life is. If you want a feels trip, this is the one.
save da bird
A child with abandonment issues, who leaves notes to himself pretending they are from his parent, gets falsely accused at school of throwing a paper airplane at the teacher. Without any friends to defend him, he is immediately kicked out of class. Pushed beyond his breaking point, the child leaves school and takes some psychedelic drugs (most likely magic mushrooms found in the wild) and hallucinates that he saves an injured bird and helps nurse it back to health. Other hallucinations include intimidating a badger into running away, trees moving on their own, riding on a giant paper airplane and visiting floating islands with said bird, jumping off a 30-story apartment building and floating his way down like Mary Poppins, being popular at school, and a Benny Hill-inspired chase sequence. He also thinks the veterinarian is another bird or maybe the other bird is a veterinarian. I don't know. That part was a bit confusing.
Good game i guess... Nice soundtrack, it's basically there where it shines. After completing it, seems its main purpose is to set the stage for the next game called ( maybe? ) Finding Paradise. Hope i will be rewarded at the next game, as of now this one just takes a barely positive review...
Very nice game. Soundtrack is good and story is minimal due to having no dialogue. It serves as a prequel to Finding Paradise even though this came out first. I believe this could have worked better as a DLC but then it has its own soundtrack so it's good as a separate game.
"A Bird Story” unfurls like a delicate melody, a quiet tale woven from the threads of loneliness and longing. It serves as a tender glimpse into the childhood of Dr. Neil Watts, one of the primary characters from the To The Moon trilogy, offering a poignant interlude that speaks to the silence of growing up in solitude. The boy, abandoned to his world by workaholic parents, wanders through days untouched by companionship, until a wounded bird appears and becomes his only friend.
In its simplicity, the game paints a heartbreaking portrait of the isolation of a tender soul whose only connection to the world is the amicable companionship of an injured bird. Through these moments of fragile tenderness, A Bird Story gently reminds us of the profound impact of friendship, even when it comes in the form of something so small and vulnerable.
The ending, soft yet powerful, is a catharsis—the release of all the quiet grief that has been quietly building in the spaces between the story’s moments. It is a denouement that delicately lingers in the heart, like the fading echo of a long-forgotten song or the relentless cry of waves crashing on the shore. The game, though modest in its scope, carries a weight that feels bittersweet, a reminder that sometimes, the simplest stories are the ones that touch us the deepest.
What better way to close the year than with a tale that speaks not just to the mind, but to the very soul?

Short on the rails storytelling game. Does tug at the heartstrings, probably meant as a healing experience, though in my case I spent all of it waiting for Disaster to strike. Makes for a good filler detox between all the maiming and slaughter,
