Final Thoughts – Analyzing the game as a whole

Graphics and UI

The first thing that caught my eye in this game was the art style! I simply L-O-V-E-D this 19th-century illustration style! <3 Very well-done art, extremely creative, and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before! The second thing I liked most was the fact that the protagonists are birds! lol.

The whole game is easy to use, both the HUD and the menu with options.

Soundtrack and Sound Effects

Honestly, I didn’t think the soundtrack was sensational, but it serves the game’s premise well.

Gameplay

Even though it’s a visual novel, the game has some point-and-click elements, which brings the feeling that the gameplay is less restricted and linear. To play, you use the mouse.
The only thing that bothered me was the inability to use any key on the keyboard to advance through the dialogues :/ Not even the fact that it only has one save slot bothered me.

The game has a big mind-blowing moment right at the beginning, just to excite the hearts of investigation game fans.
The dialogues are very rich, with well-placed jokes, and at some moments, you can venture into card games.

Replayability and Game Retention

Very high replay value, as the game has more than one ending! You get curious to see what happens if you choose other paths.
