abrupt twist with poor execution
This game is targeted to the lonely and for some it’s all they have to feel comforted. So the twist can affect some more than others wherever they are mentally. Spoiler: The bird dies. It died around the right time as I started to get bored him so good for me I guess. But I was really hoping for more. I thought you’d get to get closer to him and do more activities, have better convos. The death just came out of nowhere. And for me, someone who struggles mentally with abandonment issues and sui** ideation it really triggered me. Even the last poem was all ominous and cryptic? Like a sui*** note kinda? It was a weird tone shift. And I thought we were going to delve into the bird’s mental health issues or something. But no. I know you won’t be able to write infinite dialogue but it just seemed like way more could’ve been done for how it was advertised. Or at least the departure could’ve been more impactful with more foreshadowing at least. Or like make him look older to show hints that he’s not as healthy or something. I like twists like this but it’s not what I paid for and it was just lazy. It was poorly executed and maybe in the hands of a better writer I might have even been moved. But now I’m just left empty, confused and a bit irritated, especially since for some reason my bird is still in my app but just doesn’t speak. My Falco deserved better
