Story

The city of Copoka is in distress. Speakers all around the city proclaim the glory of the Great Leader and how she will bring salvation to a country in need, while people lament in the streets about starvation and dissatisfaction. Something is brewing in the back alleys of the slums. Whispers in the wind tell about a coming uprising, about an end to the suffering and new hope for the citizens of Copoka. Being a bird you can undertake the role of silent observer. By listening to people around the city a more nuanced picture of the brewing conflict is revealed - a conflict concerning clashing ideologies regardless of social standing or allegiance.

Of course, it’s up to you if you wish to stop and listen. After all, what are human concerns to a bird anyway?
