WTMG’s Heidi Hawes: “Of Bird and Cage is an overly ambitious project that clearly bit off more than it could chew. Im not sure why the team at Capricia Productions felt like they needed to include every type of action-based game mechanic in this two hour long adventure, but doing so was a detriment to the end product. Streamlining it to be more of an immersive walking sim with various morality choices would have fit the flow of the game better. I appreciate what they were going for, I really do. I adore this concept. However, sometimes a great idea doesnt translate well to a video game (Waking is another good example of this). That being said, I would love to see them try this concept out again, with both a larger budget and a more realistic gameplay format. For now though, I would highly recommend just buying the killer soundtrack.”
