WHY I WANT IT

Sometimes it's good to just want a simple, casual game that is basically just a walk through a park and conversations. This game is notoriously short, but has some stellar reviews anyway. It isn't overpriced, either!

For some reason I also like that the bird's name is Claire. It adds something appealing to my expectations of the game. That said, I'm still going to wait for a discount like I would with any other game -- because I already have so many games that need playing. If you play this before I do, please come back here and tell me what you thought of it!

If that isn't enough to pique your interest, then this probably isn't your genre -- and that's okay! Check back next week for another title and let me know what you think of my selection!
