Bird Alone has you making contact with the loneliest bird in the world. How could you not sit and have a nice, long chat with it?
The idea that this bird is all by itself is already making me pretty sad, so we’ll need to do something about this. Once you meet the bird, it will start asking you questions about life, death, and the meaning of existence (not real big on idle chatter, is it?). You’re free to have some deep conversations with the colorful friend, as loneliness certainly hasn’t hurt its ability to be social. It’d be nice to have such an attentive audience, honestly.
I’m not really joking about its attentiveness, either. The bird will retain information that you’ve given it, and as it ages (real world time does have an effect on the bird), it may adopt certain outlooks based on what you’ve said to it. This will also change based on the seasons it has lived through, the artwork you make for it, and your various interactions with it. Maybe that’s a lot of pressure to put on you, but it can also be quite amazing to see how this bird is shaped by its friendship with you.
Bird Alone seems like a beautiful experience in how shared experiences between friends can shape both of your lives, as well as the effects on our words on anyone who might want to listen to them. Do we dare risk harming this poor bird’s outlook on life with our careless words, or should we keep a close eye on what we say. And if we do, shouldn’t we also carry that same careful eye into our own conversations with loved ones? It may seem like a lighthearted game about chatting with a bird, but there is a lot to think about in these private conversations with our feathered buddy.
Bird Alone will be made available today on the App Store.
