Hello everyone and thank you for your overwhelming support with Late Bird. I've been thinking about making the experience a bit more smooth and I've introduced cinematic mode: if you want to kick back and just watch it as a short movie (apart from some clicking at Corn/Raisin Scene) - then you can do this now. There is an autoplay checkbox on the bottom left corner of main menu.
I've also added a more expicit suicide mention warning warning at the start of the game and made a few graphical adjustments.
Thank you for being so kind with me. All the best to you and I hope you have an amazing summer.
Best,
Vladimir
Late Bird is a short (10 min), experimental interactive story about birds, movies, suicidal thoughts and not growing up in time. Go through three chapters, reflecting the author's views on life, meaning and emotional maturity.
This interactive experience is an attempt to process my own feelings about life and constantly feeling like an angsty teenager despite being 32 at the moment of making this. In case you feel like you "need to do grownup things because I am a grownup" - you might relate to this.
If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please look up international suicide hotlines and reach out to somebody.
