    There's a great, highly-original idea in Of Bird and Cage - it is that which I like, much like a concept album in game form. I love the ambition and audacity to even try it.

    The story had me pretty hooked throughout even if it was a bit confusing at times, and the seeds of a decent idea in the time limited puzzle exploration scenes are there. But every time I started to find my rhythm with Of Bird and Cage I’d get tripped up by a scene, be it bugs or simply poor design choices, and end up feeling off tempo entirely.
