First trailer offers overview of A Bird Story
Fans of Kan Gao's poignant 2011 adventure To the Moon will need to wait a while longer for a full-fledged sequel, but a bridge episode called A Bird Story is now scheduled for release this November.
A Bird Story is set in the same universe as its predecessor, where technology allows scientists to enter the mind of a dying patient in order to fulfill their lifelong wish before they die. Aiming to provide around an hour's worth of gameplay, the new game recounts the tale of "a boy who found an injured bird", taking place "between a mix of memories and dreams, telling a simple and surreal tale without dialogues." Although a self-contained episode in the sense that it has its own beginning and ending, this installment sets the stage for the sequel proper, as "the boy [will] grow up to be the elderly patient in episode 2."
As seen (and heard) in the game's first trailer, A Bird Story uses the same top-down pixel art style as before, with an original soundtrack once again composed by Gao (with "possible contributions from others"). If you like what you hear of the latter, there are additional preview tracks already available.
Currently in development for PC, Mac, and Linux, A Bird Story is due for release on November 5th.
