How it feels

A quiet, lonely vigil on a mountain peak, watching birds as the world burns below.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and charming birds, but nearly everyone who plays for more than one session runs into crashes, broken save files, and softlocks that force restarts. The story is short, around two hours, and reviewers are split on whether the multiple endings resolve the mystery.
