About
Birds Watching is a short psychological horror about bird watching.
An endless global fire destroyed the world, and you are now alone, the last human being.
You survive on the top of a mountain, the only place still untouched by the flames, and your only occupation is watching with your binoculars the wild birds escaped up there with you.
It is a peaceful, isolated, desperate life.
Until you are not alone anymore, and the only ones who can save you are the birds; but they are picky. Satisfy them, or lose everything. Be honest. Be ruthless. Be careful.
Birds are watching.
A short but impactful open-world horror experience (~60 minutes).
Go birding! Observe, catalog, and find every bird in the reserve.
Explore a handcrafted open world full of secrets and hidden locations.
Follow your animal companion.
Not only birds are present in the mountain.

Game itself was completely fine, atmosphere was good, story was like 7/10, birds cool etc. But (like many others said) it tries to be edgy for the pure sake of being edgy. No where on this steam page to they tell you that some birds will talk to you about very (and i mean VERY) sexually explicit content. 100% ruined my vibe as i was streaming it. It's not even an optional dialogue you can just click "exit dialogue" on, no no no, you have to proceed through the entire thing. 100% would've given this a thumbs up if not for the very out of place sexual dialogues.
I'm gladly recommend this game. I brought it to play on the steam deck. After playing with some settings, the game was running a good 30fps on medium settings. Beside one hard crash when open the gate the first time, I was able to complete the game in one session. The story was way better than I expected. I took us about 2h for a first play through.

The atmosphere is a chef's kiss. Everything about how the game is presented really drives home the feeling of isolation, helplessness and pressure to act. I got pins and needles in my entire body from the anticipation of something horrific at the quarter-way mark and it hasn't gone away. There's definitely a deeper story here, maybe it's more comprehensively answered if you complete all endings (it seems there's multiple), but I doubt it. It's always good to have mysteries left to the imagination anyways.
I really like the creepy vibes and the cute birbs...unfortunately it's very glitchy and I had to task manager out several times. 6/10
Truly an amazing story game, full of thrills and surprises. The story is actually superb, you won't even know what or who to trust until the very end of the game. Yet the game has a pretty big downside, being a technical part. Game lags and freezes pretty often, and saving doesn't really work so you have to finish the game in one go. But the story and characters totally cover the problem. Genuinely an amazing game.
Когда я подумала, что моя ручная птица меня хочет, я, вообще то, шутила
I liked the birds a lot. Genuinely felt bad during achievement hunting when I had to go against them, additionally this is one of the rare steam games that make me go "oh, I REALLY want all of the achievements on this!" Absolutely adore it. I recommend it a lot! ^^
I don't think i need to specify what part of this game is bad
Big fan of dark yet cosy vibe games, birds, and a walking sim that hides a bit more to it. Really enjoyed the kind of reveal at the end. A very short game but really glad to have discovered and supported this.
