Our take on 30 Birds
The premise stresses a kidnapping investigation, but the described activities also include card play and making music with synthesizers. Those diversions sit alongside puzzle-solving and clue gathering rather than a purely detective-focused sequence.
What is 30 Birds?
Play as Zig, a young detective searching Lantern City for the scientist who kidnapped the goddess Simurgh.
Explore a city arranged across rotating lanterns, meet birds and other unusual characters, and collect the birds’ contact details on Zig’s phone. Progress through a narrative adventure by solving puzzles and taking on challenges. Activities include creating music with synthesizers and playing cards to gather clues. The game combines 2D and 3D presentation with hand-drawn visuals inspired by Persian art. Its soundtrack draws on ska, dub, and reggae.
