Of Bird and Cage Reviews

I was interested in this game based on the music alone as a fan of the music genre the artists for the soundtrack do, but that being said, it seems that the music is literally all this has going for it. The graphics are meh at best, the MC's voice acting sounds so flat as if she's uninterested in what she is doing, some of the side actors outshine her in their performance. The timed events are some of the worst I have ever experienced in a timed event game. You barely get enough time to do your "quest", half of the time the quests don't even show up until well into the timer so you're just wandering around aimlessly trying to figure out what to do. When you finally get told what you need to do for the quest, you barely have enough time to even get it done. I have never had this problem before in any choices matter game where I am failing nearly every time event because we're not being told what to do right away. It's like they want us to explore but we're also timed and can't explore everything and just fail. What's the point of there being items we can inspect and an area in a scene we can explore if we're being timed in everything we do? The game also feels a bit lifeless. I'd recommend to get this on sale if you want to experience it yourself, or avoid it entirely because honestly you're not missing out on anything that has already not been touched on in video games. The idea itself behind the game is the only thing it has going for it honestly. Symphonic metal music to a dark choices matter story, how could you not be interested in that alone? Too bad the game is meh.
