Welp, after two weeks of exchausting and crying over the experience I had with this game; I think it’s a good time to write a review (especially with school being over, lol).

I would like to first answer the questions I drew up from A Bird Story, 3 years back...

Does this kid have any parents?
Apparently Colin did, but they’re wouldn’t around that much in his life for him to remember any significant memory about them. :sadface:

Why is he allowed to live on his own in an apartment, with a hanging terrance?
The balcony, (why tf did I call it a hanging terrance back then wtf) seemed to be a significant place for him. As it was the place that inspired him to “fly” with the paper airplane and how he made his first and only friend for a while…

Does this kid have any friends besides the bird?
Seems to be not the case lol, I assumed that the bird was a precursor to his so called ”first friend” as a personification of her being his guardian angel… (because she got wings, haha This friend really gave Colin the Faye (Faith, me and my bad jokes) of pursuing his wish of flying ;(

Does the bird an illusion that just symbolizes his whole life (I don't think the bird is real, just a figure of his imagination because how can a fat chubby boy fly on this small bird)?
This is pretty self-explanatory but, that bird seemed to give Colin purpose to his life… Something he sadly didn’t get through his mundane childhood and with no one being there for him… (I literally cried when Faye filled that void)

Who is the strange man who follows him into the elevator?
I didn’t really catch anything about him in this game, I’d remember seeing a short glimpse of “him” one time (but I could be trippin)... Colin seems to make a lot of IMAGINARY[\i][/b] in his life...

Why isn't he doing anything about the potential pedo?
Idk he was a pretty lonely boy (sounds familiar...) and I presumed he had schizo, so there’s a lot going on in his mind.

Will we see this guy having a life when we examine his whole life in "Finding Paradise"?
Yes, he did have a life. He ended up being happy about his life, without changing anything.


Overall, this was a phenomenal game. I can’t really tell if either this or To The Moon was better, there both very great games on their own right. I guess, ”Finding Paradise” hit me more during a time when I was more emotionally inclined than I was 3 years back. And trust me a lot of sh*t has happened to me in these 3 years, but it’s ok.

Thank you Kan for making me realize that.
