Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.13/day in the week to Aug 27 → 1.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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.

This game is very weird, which normally- I find to be a good thing! The first 30 minutes of this game I enjoyed quite a bit, with the story that was being told peaking my interest enough to instantly want to find all of the birds you can discover on the map. However after getting about halfway through the game, I had by that point changed my mind. While weirdness can be a plus in indie horror games, this game got a bit to weird for my liking. Vulgar/Crude humor is one thing, but having a bird spend 8 minutes talking about banging a human, then giving you the option to bang another bird- instantly took me out of this weird world that had been built and shown, and turned more into a meme. The notes while at first giving story about what was going on with this mountain, now were about playing tic-tac-toe with penises rather than X's and O's. My interest was instantly gone. I then met the only threat of the game, and after sprinting maybe four feet back up the path I entered on, the threat just stopped chasing me, stood still, and moved on. That was the only time I ever saw it. Combine this with the birds I'm suppose to be watching constantly flying into the ground, forcing me to wait for them to continue their patterns to become available to watch- yeah this game isn't for me. A shame as again, I did enjoy the start of the game, but it sadly lost me. 3/10.

The game is brilliant BUT be aware it has game-breaking bugs. Game progress is not recorded properly for many people, meaning you need to start all over again. Way too frustrating to play in this state, as I don't want to sit through the same dialogue again. I hope it is finally fixed because I absolutely loved it up until that point.
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.
One of the weirdest games I've streamed. And that's saying something. I loved the amount of choices somehow squished into a relatively short game, though I wasn't a fan of the volume of dialogue. Quite chatty. I spent the first half of the game mostly reading out loud. It's 100% worth playing for its intriguing story, humour, ambience and unusual mechanics, but streamers beware - it's not without its flaws, some of which I feel aren't great for your audience. 1) I got stuck just by walking into the corner of a small set of stairs on the way to the Fort. All I had to do was run into it, and I was stuck. Had to quit the game and reload. 2) The game's visual style is intentionally murky [spoiler](it's plot relevant)[/spoiler], though as in-game time ticks on, it only gets darker, and murkier. It reaches a point where you can't see a thing without your lantern, and given you can only hold a single item at a time, it becomes a bit of a chore navigating the world. It's also not very [i]visually[/i] pleasant for an audience to look at, imo. 3) There's a minor glitch with the dialogue boxes. You'll always get an extra, empty one at the end of every conversation, which sometimes will go away by itself after about 1 second, but sometimes won't. This makes it easy to choose incorrect dialogue options, accidentally skip following dialogue, or repeat dialogue. Don't let that put you off, though. It IS a really good game, and worth playing, but rough around the edges.
It's a TRIP!
Short and sweet horror game where you can become a bird. Atmosphere was great, the dialogue was fun to read and generally most of the horror wasnt telegraphed with a loud noise to scare you. First playthrough took me over an hour but can get multiple ones done easily. Definitely worth a playthrough if you enjoy these small horror games.
https://youtu.be/kFiBWGefctY Rushing the player to an ending removes the important build up that makes horror games have real weight to them.
[h1] Interesting Psychological Game [/h1] Birds Watching is an interesting game that actually really got me invested in its world. It actually had a lot more depth and a lot more to say than I was expecting and the whole backstory and story of what's really going on was actually really intriguing and the game did a great job of answering all the questions I had about it, as well as really making me feel like I was deciding what was going on, not just going through the motions going story beat to story beat. There are tons of choices you have to make, all with consequences that affect the outcome. If you're a fan of psychological games I think you'll enjoy this. The premise is unique, the story is interesting, and the world is actually very well designed, and was a lot easier to navigate than I was expecting, while still feeling big and expansive. Overall, I enjoyed my time with it and can definitely recommend it to fans of the genre.

Реально классно прям, игра очень увлекательная, не оторваться прям. Атмосфера жуткая, идея с птицами заводит, локации интересно исследовать. Некоторые трансформации мерзкие, аж передергивает, но в целом добавляет вайба. Не сложная на расслабоне. Баги были, но обновление всё починило. И вообще мне её подарили! <З В общем, я прониклась сюжетом, развязка поразила. Всем советую.
