Visuals are A Bird Story’s biggest strength, and as far as the story goes... Well, I simply don’t know why someone decided it’s worth sharing with me. [01/2015, p.73]

Interactive story about friendship and adolescence, which will not fancy masses, but will be loved by empathetic individuals. [Issue#249]

Shorter game time, simplified story and a little less emotion - still, A Bird Story is the masterpiece of the narration and the form. But somehow it is something we had already seen in better shape before.

For a game that came with a warning from the dev... This, strangely, might be my favourite work by them. It's simple, it's poignant and it's great story telling.

No se que opinar al **** es un mal juego pero tampoco es la gran cosa, creo que no debería ser un juego si no mas bien un cortometraje, el juego es solo moverte de un lado a otro y la historia se cuenta sola, pero bueno es lo que hay, y aunque se me hizo un poco aburrido y lento vale la pena al ser solo una hora. Tal ves jugando finding paradise me guste mas este juego pero como historia individual se queda asi.

it looks pretty good, at times the story started to interest me but pretty soon I knew it was going nowhere and I wanted to get to the end ASAP.

A Bird Story is a fantastic and short pixel art visual novel that you need to experience.

A beautiful short story about friendship, that serves as a link between To the Moon and its successor.

A short story, without text but ... with a lot of feeling. You will not stop playing it until you finish it, and surely you will spend a while thinking about your pet or the pet that you had as a child.

Este no es un juego principal de la saga de "To the moon" es más para adentrarnos en el segundo episodio del mismo. Específicamente conocer el pasado del protagonista del segundo juego. En este sentido el juego es esencial ya que creará una vinculación con este personaje que será notoria en "Finding paradise". Creando una experiencia maravillosa y muy emotiva.

A small, simple, but incredibly affecting story that showcases the power of the ability to encourage empathy through the most basic expressions of humanity and imagination.

A beautiful tale about friendship that is far from the quality of To the Moon. Its null interactivity and simple narrative are its worst enemies.

A Bird Story is not the great follow-up that we could expect from the team that created the beautiful To the Moon, but its a warn story about friendship involving a kid and a bird.

A hugely disappointing follow-up for To The Moon, whose trite and overly sentimental story feels long at just 60 minutes.

This was more of a story than a game, it was like a little interactive storybook. I guess there is some control required for the game, but the game itself is mostly passive and the viewer (you) is just the audience.

More than a game it is simply a story told where you do not have to do practically anything except move a few meters every now and then. As a ferryman game to the sequel to to the moon I must say that it is also enjoyable and, as we have been accustomed, tearful even if not too much given its duration of 1 hour

A bird story com sua trilha sonora e ambientação são impecáveis assim como To the Moon, mas acho que algo que os fãs não esperavam era sua campanha curtíssima, logo quando o jogo estava me pegando e que eu estava amando jogar, me deparo com o fim do game, foi inesperado a campanha curta.

I love the other work by Freebird Games, and I can appreciate what they were going for with A Bird Story, but at the end of the day the pace of the game was just far too sluggish for me and I lost motivation to complete the game.
SummaryFrom the developer of To the Moon: A simple and surreal hour-long short about a boy and an injured bird -- a light interactive animation without dialogue. An interactive pixel animation with the sole purpose of telling a simple story. It is a standalone narrative with its own discrete beginning and end.
