About the Game

You're an old bird just looking for some tasty roast (your favorite).


Suddenly, you get bitten by another strange creature and pass out.
When you come to your senses again, you're amidst senile geezers at Castle Senexcastle.
At least, the food is good here!



As you witness a conflict taking shape, you're sent on a journey to save the castle.
Wandering through forests, villages, dungeons and more, you meet many quirky fellas and make new friends and foes.



Don't let the minigames fool you – you will learn that there's an uncomfortable truth to be uncovered that makes you question your birdy values ...
