What players say
It's not as much of a game as it is a visualized concert/musical performance in form of leading a flock of crows. The price is also around a ticket to one...or much less given the inflation these days. About 45min of intense escape from reality through music and artistic expression across 5 chapters of varying intensity and mood. We can lead the birds as we wish, bump into some objects to make them produce more...

Guide a flock of birds on migration while listening to beautiful classical music. I think this game is wonderful and relaxing.
This game has beautiful artwork and music, and I love the gracefulness and peacefulness of it all. It is fun and soothing, and gives my mind a much-needed break since all you have to do is direct the flock and have fun. Iwould highly recommend this game, especially for those with anxiety, depression, and/or other emotional or mental illnesses. Plus, it's cheap so that is always a perk :)
