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.

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
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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

Crude, vulgar, not scary and ultimately boring. I was hoping the game would do more with its birdwatching setting, but it's literally just looking through the binoculars and talking to them. Also there's a bug that loses your story progress (but somehow not exploration progress). The game can be easily beaten in one seating though. The strongest part of the game is its Steam capsule banner :(
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.

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! ^^
Short but interesting game! Good environmental storytelling with an fun plotline. I enjoyed finding all the birds and appreciate that the decisions actually affect the ending. Highly recommend!
Kind of a ♥♥♥♥ experience, to be honest. I like the idea of the game, the setting, and gameplay, but it's broken. I continue my game and I have to see the intro again and again. I get stuck in the environment, so you have to go back to the menu and continue. Every time you start the game the record book maintains the birds you've spotted, however the game forgets. You see the same quests over and over again, even though you complete them. At a certain time you get a radio call, you respond, even though you've done it before. You go around and talk to the birds in order to defeat the antagonist but because I was stuck and reloaded the game, there was no record of it. I got to the end with no birds assisting me. Overall a POS.
Got it in a bundle for a dollar or so. Weird horror game with one good scare that I experienced. The story is intriguing and unlike others I found the vulgar dialogue did make some sense. On the surface, it was unnecessary, but it did narratively bring up a point about how humans would reproduce in this situation. I appreciate that the game is horrifying mostly through the atmosphere and story rather than jump scares. With a bit more polish, maybe a bit more of a gameplay loop, it could've been another Iron Lung. It's a bit jank and while there is replay value with multiple endings and decent exploration, I couldn't be bothered for now.
