Freebird Games' "simple, surreal short" is about the next patient's childhood

To The Moon hit players like a bittersweet freight train when it released in November 2011, and its creator is almost ready to share the next part of the tale. Freebird Games today revealed A Bird Story, "a simple, surreal short about a boy and a bird with a broken wing."

Developer Kan "Reives" Gao noted certain expectations for To The Moon's successor--but matching previous success is not his concern.

"However, what I can promise is that I’ll always be making what truly means something to me--and hopefully, to you too," Gao wrote. "I hope everyone could take them as they come, and enjoy them for their own merits."

Gao plans to release A Bird Story around mid-year 2013. Until then, you can check out its title screen and the music that will inevitably make us all cry.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
