You there. Take a break. I’m sure you’ve earned it. Relax. Be a bird. Fly around for a while.
I’m sorry, what? A bird, you say? Indeed. Fugl lets you explore its lovely voxel landscapes as one of our feathered friends.
It has no goals, no gamey stuff in it, it’s just you, a bird, flying around and exploring the world. There are a few not-so-secret features and some stuff that’s not really apparent at first, but that’s entirely for you to find out.
Most of all, it’s a relaxing, maybe even meditative experience. Imagine Minecraft without any interaction whatsoever, just world exploration and those soothing tunes in the background. I’m interested to see if this finds a large audience. People on the loud, noisy Gamescom show floor seemed to be fascinated by it, in any case.
The game is in Early Access for now, so features are still being added and technical kinks worked out. More importantly, there are mobile and VR versions planned for early next year. Portable Fugl sounds like a great fit, and if there’s one game out there that I want to play on VR, it’s this one. Just imagine being that bird. Wonderful.
But enough of this, Fugl is really something you need to experience for yourself. That’s the whole point. So go out there, little birdy, go out there and flyyy.
You can purchase Fugl from Steam for $ 9.99. For more information, visit the game’s website or follow developer Johan Gjestland on Twitter.
