Publisher Tiny Dragon Games and developer Wristwork have announced a new game for mobile and PC. It’s as weird as it gets. Called Pigeon: A Love Story, it’s getting a demo for PC in next week’s Steam Next Fest.
Pigeon: A Love Story is the London-based development studio’s sophomore project
You become a lonely pigeon searching for your perfect match inside full-scale recreations of real-world cities. Using authentic OpenStreetMap data, the game recreates places including London, Paris, New York, Amsterdam, and Tokyo at actual scale.
Those cities are populated with millions of simulated birds, leaving you to search for a literal one-in-a-million soulmate by calling out across vast urban environments. The developers use Pigeon-Sim technology, which powers hundreds of thousands of autonomous pigeon NPCs.
Pigeon: A Love Story is a needle-in-a-haystack simulator that’s about nothing and everything. It’s a slow game built for fast times. The game includes multiplayer (Coo-op in that world) and a Passive Mode. The latter lets the simulation run on its own like a screensaver.
An original soundtrack composed specifically for the game gives off a meditative atmosphere while you wander the skies. On that note, take a look at the game below.
The game will release later this year
The latest demo on Steam lets you fly over London. The devs have also added a Speak to Coo feature. You can choose to connect your real-world microphone and actually coo into it. Doing so triggers your pigeon’s mating call in-game.
The update also includes multiplayer, so you can bring a friend along and explore the skies together in London. Meanwhile, the city features atmospheric shadows, more realistic sunshine rendering, and procedural urban graffiti.
You can check out what the game offers on Steam. The mobile listing on the Play Store isn’t available yet.
