To The Moon Developer Announces New Game
Freebird Games’ next title is A Bird Story, a spiritual successor to the studio's previous hit, To the Moon.
The premise of A Bird Story is based on two things: a boy and a bird with a broken wing. It’s a story-based game, but the developer says there is little to no dialogue.
The boy in the game is the patient seen in episode 2 of To the Moon (if you haven't played the indie RPG, get on it), meaning A Bird Story takes place much earlier chronologically.
To the Moon was well received by fans and critics, and developer Kan Gao knows his fans may expect certain things from him, but he isn’t sure he’ll deliver exactly what they want.
“I know that for some who have played To the Moon, there might be certain expectations as to how the 'next game' should be,” Gao said on his website. “And to be honest, I don’t really know how it’ll be in that regard – meeting certain quota or matching aspects of another game aren’t really things that I want to make them around.
“However, what I can promise is that I’ll always be making what truly means something to me – and hopefully, to you too. I hope everyone could take them as they come, and enjoy them for their own merits."
A Bird Story is set to release in the middle of this year.
