About the Game

Take to the skies and step into the feathers of a crow. Soar above the world and move freely between sky and land. Explore the wilderness and interact with other animals as you prepare for the coming frost. But never let your guard down because predators can strike from any direction. You'll need to be ready to leave before the cycle becomes too short to survive.

The world is trapped in a deadly cycle of heat and cold. What was once a lush, blooming meadow will soon be buried under snow and ice. Water sources will freeze, some paths may become impassable as they are sealed by ice, and resources will grow ever scarcer. Each cycle grows shorter, and only you can decide when it is time to set out for safer lands.

Build your nest on the ground, on the top of a cliff, among the branches of a tree or in a cave, wherever you prefer. Let its twigs and straw cradle you as the climate shifts around you, but remember to take care of it by bringing branches and adding some padding from time to time.

Pay attention to your needs. Take care of yourself by eating, drinking, and resting. Keep your feathers clean and tidy, and tend to your wounds. Stay alert, predators may strike while you admire the view from above or while you recover your strength.

The world is alive. Take advantage of carcasses left behind by predators, trade resources, and cooperate with other animals to survive in hard times. Their abilities can become an advantage, giving you access to resources you would not be able to obtain otherwise.

Search for and gather the resources you need to survive, but time passes, objects decay, and other animals will try to steal what belongs to you. Store berries, insects, meat, branches, and other resources to use when the need arises. Keep everything safe to ensure a comfortable survival with a full stomach.

When the environment becomes depleted and resources grow scarce, it is time to migrate to new lands. Explore uncharted landscapes in search of what will sustain you on your journey. Encounter unfamiliar creatures or reunite with familiar ones, discover unexpected opportunities, and escape the approaching storm.
