Play Overview
Feather (2019) is an adventure traversal game that brings you, as a bird, to a beautiful island. You can explore freely, collecting items and soaring on the breeze. Often, other players will join you to create a flock of birds to fly together, making music on the wind. Communication is kept to simple birdsong, but this can be expanded by finding items around the island.
It is a peaceful game about immersing yourself in a beautiful island. Fly around and lose yourself in a zen-like flow whilst listening to the soothing ambient soundtrack. No enemies, no combat, no threats, just peaceful flight by yourself or with other birds.
Our examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Feather 5 years ago. It was re-examined by Thom Robertson and updated 12 weeks ago.
