Feather Trail

Hit the trail in this open-world birdwatching adventure, featuring real-world bird species! Feather Trail is a labor of love by a former bird biologist turned solo gamedev.

You begin your journey in as a birder in Nearctica, a world of procedurally-generated pixel landscapes inspired by North American ecosystems. With a casual and non-linear storyline, the path ahead is up to you...

Enjoy a wide variety of bird species, presenting diverse behaviors and challenges for identification through timing-based minigames (soaring overhead, hiding in shrubs, diving underwater, etc.)
Challenge yourself to find the rare birds hidden in distinct habitats, migrating across the seasons
Build yourself a cozy home on the road by upgrading your campsite, where you return each evening. Entice birds to visit with birdfeeders!
Collect your "life list" through encounters in the field, cooperating and competing with local birders, and rising through the ranks of the Birding League
Conduct surveys and scientific research alongside the Ecology Institute, improving your mastery as an ornithologist
Trek to the outer reaches of the backcountry, and help the Nature Service to protect and improve the wilderness
