Fairly average visual novel; it wasn't bad but there is room for some improvement. Overall I liked the creative story and the art is well done. A human child meets a birdling child and they become friends. They try to keep that friendship despite all odds.

This story was much darker than I expected. There's heavy subjects dealing with loss, betrayal, and rape. I don't have an issue reading these subjects but damn I wish there was a warning for the rape scene. You don't see anything but the character describes what is happening in enough detail there is no room for imagination.

My biggest feedback to the author (I think one dev made this entire game?) would be to focus more on improving their writing. My biggest complaint is early in the story, the writing is a bit bland and relies too heavy on cliches. One character kept saying things like "mother always use to say life goes on" and it was boring. Cliches is lazy writing; I want to hear the author's words. Not an old, overused saying.

Once the story really kicks up, the author doesn't rely on that writing as much and it's much more interesting to read.
