About the Game

The Bird of the North is a deduction game with a playtime of 120–160 minutes. The demo is also intentionally very short. If the game isn’t available in your language and you’re interested, please add it to your wishlist: I may consider allocating a budget for localization depending on interest.

Set in 1921, the Industrial Revolution has been brought to a halt by an ice age.

As the cold worsens, anger brews, and an expedition is organized to find a solution...

Visions with birds.

Explore scenes freely with a simple movement system.



A game of deduction.

One sentence per character: it’s up to you to understand the context and deduce what happens in each vision.


A chronological survey.

Using the characters and multiple scenes you explore, piece together the story by completing an investigation board based on locations, clues, and the timeline of the visions.
