free bird., by Passerine
First released for the SeedComp! (and won best place!)
A minimalist hopepunk avian escape game
Another played but unreviewed Seedcomp! game
Playing it reminded me of Cage Break - reviewed just above - and You Bird. The first because both entries used the same seed as a base (Feathered Fury by Amanda), the second because of the minimalist writing in actions.
It has a pretty clever set of puzzles, differentiating interactive object and other passages in the formatting. The minimalist writing (just noun + adjective) really adds to the feel that you are a bird (or a non-human conscience), without writing off its personality. It was pretty fun interacting with the elements with the carriable objects.
Really nice!

This was the last one for today. Hopefully I have more time tomorrow
