Bluebird of Happiness

I got this game as think it was just a stereotypical escape game, but was shocked by the story. (Spoilers ahead!) I was shocked that the world was red and the Bluebird was my brother. I thought I would go to the lake, find him, and leave. I thought the game was over when it was the opposite. Lucky I talked to the cat. The ending was mysterious and left room for you wonder. I am curious about if the witch was on your side or against you, if the girl was close to you and she was killed in punishment, and who was controlling the phone. The phone was the best part of the game. I thought it was just a hint giver. It betraying you was so unexpected. It add another layer to the story too. The phone made you kill your brother, but your brother gave it to you. Did the witch leave it for your brother to pick up, or did someone else go into the dreamworld and mess it up? Maybe the actual bird did it? Maybe the witch meant it to be a little lesson to you to scare you into giving it back, but the phone messed with it. I love these kinds of endings because they let you think about the game more than usual. In short, this is a great game and would recommend.

You can tell that I definitely did not expect that (first) ending. The plot was AMAZING, I loved it. When I started getting closer to the end I thought the hints made it too easy, but then, well... it showed me why. I did have a little trouble with putting down the stool. I eventually learned that you should click the object you’re putting it next to, but before that I was just randomly and repeatedly clicking. And I think there was a small bug with the items? I don’t remember when it happened, but all of my items disappeared from the chart at the bottom. I refreshed the app and they all popped back up though. Also, those last words are pretty ominous... Can we save this person from having to go through that? Or does it just mean it’s someone else’s turn to play this game? I don’t know whether the witch / wizard / warlock looking person is actually good or bad then. Or maybe they’re trying to teach people a lesson? (I love the cat though.)

Apps can make you cry, or in particular- this app. I am a silver sponsor because this game made me cry. I love stories about brothers because as an only child/latchkey kid I am very lonely. I did not expect that ending, it was enough to make me go back and wrack my brain thinking of how to get the other ending. Which I did get. I love the story, I love the graphics, I love the hint system, I love the (spoiler) and I just love this app and game dev. This app was a great way to start 2019 and is probably my favorite app of all time now only rivaled by a rhythm game which I lost my account to. Please please please get this and play it, it doesn’t take long to play but the experience will last, trust me. To the people saying it’s similar to undertale, yes that is one of the dev’s favorite games and yes the dev has experience in rpg maker and yes there are silent MCs but these are two very different games. I would recommend this to undertale-lovers though. Sincerely, akira midouduji btw ily.

If you do not mind these types of shocking endings, that is fine. But to let you know, two four days ago I played it. Last night I thought the words, “I want that bird” and right after, the creepy face of the bird flashed into my mind like it had leaped on me. I was shocked, and I do not like that type of scares. I do a little, it is just really cringing when you think hard enough of it. I do recommend, for those who haven’t played it, the bear’s one, because it has no scares of this type, if you do not like getting shocked like this. Developers— Please make another game that has less of a shock. The shocking endings scare me at night sometimes when the game won’t leave my daydreaming mind. Thank you for reading, I hope this helped some of you.

I’m pretty sure there’s more after the part where you chop of the birds head. And then check the pond, at which point I stopped to write this review. I liked it until that part. I didn’t sign up for a horror game! I simply wanted a fun puzzle game. If there was a gun in the safe it would have made the fact that you needed to kill the bird more obvious, but with the axe, I thought I had to chop down a tree. Anyways, I’m going to continue playing the game, and when I get scared for life, I will come back here. Also just a side note, I want a game like this that’s not a horror game. I’ve played undertale, I have not played earthbound, but I like the style of this game, just not the part where you jump away from a jump scare, and then DIE. Ok I’m back. I destroyed the phone and I won the game. I think it was a very cool game. I think it was amazing. Before, I thought it was a scary game.
