Our take on The Future Radio and the Artificial Pigeons
Players looking for immediate action may bounce off at the radio-broadcast setup, where the experience shifts toward character meetings and a future-death mystery. The artificial-pigeon premise also sets a specific science-fiction tone that may deter readers seeking a grounded setting.
What is The Future Radio and the Artificial Pigeons?
Set in Japan in 2061, this Japanese-style visual novel follows Yamanashi Sora, a young tinkerer who builds a radio from spare parts.
Fifteen years after artificial pigeons began consuming radio waves, Sora starts broadcasting with equipment left by his father. The radio soon receives a transmission from the future, reporting Sora’s death in three weeks and injuries at Nariyama Sky Academy. He enters the abandoned airport where he lost his parents and meets Hazuki Kaguya, a silver-haired girl who promises to prevent his death. The story takes place in a world where artificial pigeons were created as a global wireless network before turning against the airwaves, disrupting communications and grounding aircraft.
