Ignore the Blackbird

As you observe the environment and interact with the blackbird, puzzles and a story emerge. Each line of dialogue reveals another piece of the narrative, and solving puzzles gradually transforms the scene into something fragile and uneasy.

What begins as a beautiful summer day slowly fades into somber, surreal autumn.

Ignore the Blackbird is a handcrafted, narrative puzzle game. Its art and dialogue are meant to give a relaxing, thoughtful experience. While solving the puzzles that drive the narrative forward may not be that difficult, piecing together the story is the game's true challenge.
