Lovely, December 8, 2021

It's nice to look at and very well done. The way the dreams slowly leak into real life until the climax at the end is fascinating and the build up of the love story feels very realistic and sweet. The dialogue, while not always realistic, feeling is very funny and I'd recommend this to anyone.

A good punch of Weird with a long drag afterwards, November 26, 2019
by Oreolek (Kemerovo, Russia)
Related reviews: ifcomp2015

Bridget is a girl in a summer camp. She sees weird dreams. She sees weird things. It's weird.

Birdland is long and it constantly repeats itself. The dreams have the samey feel and by the third or the fourth they are boring. Between the "ah, so what's happening" and "okay, let's do something about it" moments there is a good chunk of just.. hanging around, I guess.

What's frustrating is lack of character details. I finished the game but I still don't know anything solid about the lead heroine. Most of the camp girls are flat or you don't see them enough because the game doesn't care. There are good characters but they are doomed to be the scenery.

It's a decent game, overall, for its background details and the punchy beginning. The ending's flat, though.
