About the Game

Late Bird is a short (10 min), experimental interactive story about birds, movies, suicidal thoughts and not growing up in time. Go through three chapters, reflecting the author's views on life, meaning and emotional maturity.

This interactive experience is an attempt to process my own feelings about life and constantly feeling like an angsty teenager despite being 32 at the moment of making this. In case you feel like you "need to do grownup things because I am a grownup" - you might relate to this.



If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please look up international suicide hotlines and reach out to somebody.
