## What is The White Bird Carnival?

You don’t read this story. It shakes, collides and tumbles… it tells itself as if alive.

Its intriguing interaction, beautiful art and animation will immerse you in a wonderful yet thrilling world.

David, the protagonist, receives a letter, and returns to the town which he hasn’t seen for ages. The once lively carnival is now deserted. Weird things happen during this nostalgia trip and old memories keep flashing back. He must find the truth. 

With the story unveils itself piece by piece, will David hold the courage to face everything?

Are his memories real, or are they missing a piece, which may have been kept in a small box?

Christopher Nolan wrote in his film Following: Everybody has a box, which holds their big secrets.

And here we present this box to you.

All you need to do, is open it, take whatever in it, and return to the White Bird Carnival with David.

Oh and of course, it is locked with a combination, which perhaps you have to find first.

### 3/5 — Clever concept but boring plot and play

*2022-08-19*

I had played Dad’s Monster House and really enjoyed the style and creativity of that game, so was excited to try this one. The game concept is very creative and some elements are fun, but the puzzles are simple and the story plot, well a bit bizarre and boring.

### 1/5 — Do not expect Isoland quality game play

*2022-07-10*

I don’t like to give bad reviews but this wasn’t really a game, rather an interactive story that was hard to follow. It started out having point and click “game-like” elements but they were either rudimentary or too abstract. By the end, it was just a bunch of scrolling to get through the story with random clicks to proceed.  It was the same price as the Isoland games but did not provide a fraction of the satisfaction. 

The artwork, as always from this developer, is beautiful.

### 4/5 — Emotional!

*2021-06-16*

Good grief! Games aren’t supposed to make you cry! This one is really sad, and if you’re quite emotional, or in particular, depressed, I’d stay WELL AWAY!!!

Which is a shame as it is a beautiful game, almost unique in the way you play it, the music is relaxing and the graphics excellent. 

It’s just the story! You have been warned!!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2020-12-04, version 1.1.1*

Game is painful.  Not like the others. This is a train wreck. Horrible, boring, makes no sense. Just painful and I’m deleting it after 5 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.  And the $1.99.

### 4/5 — Dark, different

*2020-11-16, version 1.1.1*

A sad nightmare story more than a game. Instead of wandering around different locations you scroll through it more like a book.

### 4/5 — No audio

*2020-11-10*

I have no audio for some reason but I love the game

### 5/5 — Pretty nice, but confusing

*2020-10-30, version 1.1.1*

While the game is pretty short and I got really confused with a puzzle or two, but that’s because I’m an idiot. The story of this game did get to me and I was surprised in the end, while at first I wanted a refund after reading some reviews, I’m glad I didn’t.

### 3/5 — Not what I expected.

*2020-10-27*

I’m a fan of all of the developers games. I like to see that the team is trying new things and are keeping you captivated and keen for more. I love point and click puzzle games, although I was disappointed with this game. This game is more of a story/novel with very few puzzles that posed no challenge and constant downward scrolling. The story’s are always good and always captivate you along with the unique artwork and creators style of graphics. This will keep you going/reading for a few hours. 
I hope that the next game will be a point and click adventure game with a twisted story, that the game is full of items to find and puzzles to solve. 
I’m totally looking forward to what’s next !!

### 5/5 — Excellent Game

*2020-10-26, version 1.1.0*

This is an interesting game and fun to play.  What good is a game where the puzzles are so hard that you hit delete and walk away confused and frustrated?  Do not listen to the naysayers!  The game Old Man’s Journey had plenty of critics, but is now considered a classic.

### 3/5 — A bit pointless

*2020-10-26*

I’ve enjoyed all Cotton games so was looking forward to playing this. But I didn’t enjoy it at all and don’t really see the point of it. Basically it’s just a story told in a rather convoluted way. No decent puzzles and the different format is just annoying.
