30 Birds is a charming narrative adventure developed by Ram Ram Games and Business Goose Studios and published by ARTE France.
The soundtrack complements the visuals beautifully.
Rather than relying on dramatic action sequences or complex gameplay systems, it focuses on exploration, character interaction, and a captivating mystery wrapped inside one of the most visually distinctive worlds seen in recent indie gaming.

The puzzles are designed to support the narrative rather than provide significant difficulty, and progression is driven primarily by exploration and dialogue.
