Keatz - The Lonely Bird is a 2D Old School action platformer which is based on the story of the lonely bird who has been abandoned by the society. The Government of Heavens, a country where all the birds live, suddenly and unexpectedly decide to eliminate all the flightless birds from the country by any means necessary because they were deemed useless.

Keatz was abandoned by his society because of his inability to fly like other birds when "The Government of Heavens" decided to eliminate all the flightless birds residing in their country. He wanted to make space for himself when everything was falling apart. One day, he came across another flightless bird that soon became his friend and a part of his life. They were in peace for a few days, until an attack by Heavens's soldiers shattered their ease. Keatz then decided to start a journey against the corruption and social evils, including the decision made by the Heavens's government to exile all birds who could not fly.
"Will Keatz be able to protect all flightless birds? Will he be able to protect his best friend who became the part of his life?"
