❤ Gameplay Mechanics

Players control Claire, a bird who climbs, glides, and flies using a unique feather-based stamina system. Each golden or silver feather unlocks more dynamic movement options. Players start with limited aerial abilities and gradually gain the power to soar higher and move more fluidly across the landscape.

❤ Exploration and World Design

The open island of Hawk Peak Provincial Park invites players to wander freely. Charming animal characters populate the landscape, offering everything from quick conversations to mini-quests. Players might help a character find a lost watch, deliver a package, or participate in impromptu challenges that emerge organically during exploration.

❤ Progression System

Reaching the mountain's summit requires collecting golden feathers, but players can obtain these through diverse activities. Some feathers hide in treasure chests tucked behind rocky outcroppings, while others emerge from winning beach races or completing quirky character requests.

❤ Mini-Games and Activities

The island brims with engaging diversions: A challenging beach ball game, racing challenges against other characters, fishing with a collectible journal system, treasure hunting using cryptic maps, and digging for hidden items in specific locations.

❤ Accessibility and Difficulty

Designed for universal enjoyment, the experience offers no punishment for failure, no time constraints, intuitive movement mechanics, optional challenges, and welcoming gameplay for all skill levels.

❤ Movement and Platforming

The movement system evolves beautifully. Initial awkward glides transform into elegant soaring as players collect more feathers, creating a sense of gradual mastery and joy.

❤ Overall Experience

Players fall in love with the game's emphasis on gentle discovery, moment-to-moment beauty, and the pure pleasure of exploring a charming, consequence-free world.
