30 BIRDS

30 Birds is a narrative puzzle game laid out on the surface of rotating lanterns.
The player wanders through a gorgeous world inspired by Persian art, meets quirky birds, and solves puzzles to rescue Simurgh, the missing Goddess.

In 30 Birds, you play as Zig, a young detective sent to bustling Lantern City to track down The Scientist. Alongside Hoop, a talented hoopoe stand-up comedian, you'll encounter a whole madhouse of feathered friends and quirky characters as you explore dazzling Lantern City from top to bottom. Solve a variety of puzzles to foil the plans of the obnoxious Scientist behind the kidnapping to save the bird Goddess Simurgh.

Experience a seamless blend of 2D and 3D in this mesmerizing narrative adventure, with hand-drawn visuals inspired by Persian miniatures. Wander through the gorgeous neighborhoods of Lantern City while enjoying a ska - dub - reggae inspired soundtrack and help Zig gather thirty charismatic and chatty birds to save Simurgh! But beware, you might come across puzzling challenges on your way…

30 Birds takes inspiration from mythological and philosophical aspects of Middle Eastern and ancient Persian cultures.
