About the game

You’re a bird accused of ending the world. Shape your own story in this branching tale of alchemy, friendship, love and betrayal!

Original Steam description

You are a scared sacred Ibis, in charge of keeping the universe in balance...
...Also your buddy is a cute frog!

But when Earth is on the brink of doom, men come to challenge the law you uphold: To obtain anything, something of equal value must be lost. There is NO exception. Ever.
...Also your other buddy is a sweet bonsai, celebrating her birthday!

But as the end of the world looms, the humans grow more desperate in their attempts to break the eternal law.
How far will mankind go to prevent the apocalypse and save their world?
And IF they succeed in breaking the law... what would happen to the universe as a whole?
...but anyway, don’t forget the birthday present for your bonsai friend!

The game offers:

  • A full cosmic fairytale written from start to finish

  • Several endings based on your choices

  • A scale mini-game that lets you decide what items are worth

  • Several travelers journeying through space and time to seek your help in saving the world

  • No AI was used in making this game. We make everything ourselves, including SFX and music!

The demo is still a freshly hatched chick, so we have some things we will improve down the road:

  • Redraw all (already very beautiful!) assets to give it the polish it deserves!

  • Make the game 1080p

  • Adding background art to visualize the story

  • Overhaul the minigame

  • Add more choices

  • And tweaking some more dialog

We have a truly epic and emotional story ready to spread its wings out into the world, and with your help it can be even better! Join our discord for any feedback on how our Ibis chick can grow!
