Ignore the Blackbird
Ignore the Blackbird is a handcrafted, narrative puzzle game, illustrated in layers of traditional watercolours. Solve relaxing puzzles to uncover a story waiting to be pieced together, and watch the scene gradually shift. What could it all mean?
As you observe the environment and interact with the blackbird, puzzles and a story emerge. Dialogues and puzzles reveal pieces of the narrative, gradually transforming the scene.
What begins as a beautiful summer day slowly fades into somber, surreal autumn.
