Did you have a look at the sky recently? So many white lines, so many unmarked airplanes spraying poison on us, day in, day out. And what's worst is that The Agency is paying people to spread misinformation and call them "normal condensation trails".

Paul won't give up, though. He's determined to bring the truth out to everyone. From his bedroom he'll shout to the world, pushing people to open their eyes and spread the word.

But when his network connection suddenly drops, he knows that The Agency is trying to silence him. It's time for him to fight back.

I'm really looking forward to playing Birds Are Not Real; it looks like a great story and I'm excited to see how Paul fights back against The Agency!

im so glad i found this! retro-style point-and-click games are genuinely one of my most favorite kind of games ever. in love with the art style, characters, and overall premise and i hope to play more amazing games like this from the creator in the future 😊

Thanks! Check my creator page, there are many other short and free retro point-and-click games you can try :)

Unfortunately it doesn't run -- I'm on an M-series Mac, running the latest Sequoia.

Can you try these steps?

Open up a Terminal and navigate to your app folder:
cd <PATH_TO_THE_APP>/HIBS.app/Contents/MacOS/

then set the executable flag to the game file
chmod +x BARN-HIBS

Let me know if it works!

i love the main character and the jokes of course! really good job!

That's what she said

Also not enough “That’s what she said” jokes.

Seriously though, very cool demo. Hope to see more of it.
