Our take on Birds Watching
The store page emphasizes the mountain reserve, bird cataloging, and open-world exploration, while the stated playtime is about 60 minutes. The result is a compact horror experience rather than an extensive exploration game.
What is Birds Watching?
Birds Watching is a single-player psychological horror game set on a mountain after an endless global fire has destroyed the world.
The player is the last human being, living above the flames and using binoculars to observe birds that escaped to the reserve. Exploration involves finding and cataloging every bird, discovering secrets and hidden locations, and seeking help from the animals. The birds make demands, creating choices around honesty, ruthlessness, and caution. An animal companion follows the player through the mountain, where other presences may also be found. The game takes place in a handcrafted open world and has an approximate playtime of 60 minutes.
