FIRE GAME
Him be flew.
Everyone here's described the game to be great, and it truly is! The visuals and the sounds are excellent and it story tells to the player in such a nice way! You even managed to foreshadow so much without doing a lot and this is one of those games where so much is packed in a little while and done so well at the same time!
Well done, this inspire me to make my own game. Hope to see more from you in the future!
Loved the game. Not a really big fan of the pixelated style, but the music, background and atmosphere were sick! I hope you make longer games in future

"love it, altough it's a little bit confusing at the end of the game."

Short science fiction story on steroids. I am not a big fan of the pixel-art but I love the atmosphere of this game. And the music fits very well.
A nice immersive experience.
it is a great game! it was very atmospheric and it was a fun game or a 10 minute game. i got the gist of the story but i was a little confused at the end. overall, nice game! more power to the devs and to this game!
p.s game starts at 8:37
I found it very confusing to have a visible on-screen cursor when the game is exclusively keyboard-controlled and the cursor has no functionality at all, but other than that, I enjoyed the experience. Gorgeous art and intriguing story!
nice game, i love this game so much <3
super fleshed out atmosphere and characters for a ten minute experience. fog and lighting effects are nice touches. overall, really interesting. :)
I think I already saw this style of game. i should check. and this game is cool. maybe a bit sad.
A fun little game. We enjoyed it very much.
I ENJOY EVERY PART OF THIS GAME BUT I WENT IN BLIND KNOWING NOTHING.I ENJOY THE SIMPLENESS AND STORY TELLING AND MOSTLY THE MUSIC.UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO REMOVE IT.WATCH MY GAMEPLAY OF IT
I am very happy I got the opportunity to play through this odd little gem. I want to know so much more about this world and what exactly happened to it, but I also appreciate how ambiguous the details are. So awesome!
Hey I got a content claim on the video did u get it too?
Yep, not the serious version though. Just had to remain unmonetized.
Hey bro I really loved your game, it was so awsome I felt the intended atmospheric feelings. Thank you for this experiance I hope to see this kind of game further
I think it,s better than (every day the same dream) game .
Loved the game. thanks for making it
I don't get how sacrifice of one man could save the species.
And why were they dead in the first place, anyway?
Why are all of the birds missing? Time for Mike to make the ultimate sacrifice so they can fly one more time. Or is it forever?
Loved it.
Not quite sure I understood the story fully but the world building was pretty good!
Really somber and relaxing music for such a shocking story lol Really well told story for being so short, loved this!
I like this game and relaxing background music.

good jobsWow! What an unexpectedly deep and prolific game! The build up is brilliant, had me going all the way to the end. Keep up the great work!
This has great potential to make an amazing story! I would love to see it unfold.
This is amazing! Can't wait to see what you are able to do in a more expanded space. Loved it.
This is a very nice narrative experience/game. I enjoyed every aspect of it, from the dialogue to the art. However, the end was a little confuding to me. I made a video playing through the whole game. I hope you enjoy.
Looks beautiful, nice visuals.
I'm confused but the story seems interesting and short had fun playing it it's cool :D i hope you enjoy my gameplay
I'm a lil lost with the story but overall good game. Short and sweet.
Just finished playing this game. It was a very interesting game with a very strange ending. Still don't know what the main story is or what the ending means but maybe that is the way the game is meant to be. Besides that, nice short game with a nice atmosphere to it.
Feel free to check out my video on it.
This was really nice. Great little story with a super atmosphere which also played really smoothly. Great stuff... :)
