Feather Trail (Concept Demo 2023)

I would LOVE your feedback => 2 min anonymous survey

This is a "concept" demo of Feather Trail, meant to show an initial version of core game mechanics, and suggest how the game might develop (imagine more birds, ecosystems, quests & storylines, items, etc).  The game is intended for desktop, so there is some jankiness here to get it running in the browser.

By default, you will land in a (semi) interactive tutorial. If you get stuck in there, or just want to explore the open world, you can skip it from the main screen when you get started. The levels and characters are all randomly generated.

Random stuff you can try to do to give you direction:

• Visit every sub-area (gas station, field lab, birding club, nature service camp)
• Set up a bird feeder at your campsite and try to spot birds visiting it
• Save up money from selling field reports and buy a spotting scope
• Find all 20 species (they're all randomly seeded :D so no nuance here yet)

CONTROLS:

• Mouse to navigate menus
• Arrow Keys: move around
  
• Space: talk/read/open doors/switch between birds in view
• Shift: hone in on birds in view
• A, D: turn field of view
• Esc or I: pause game and open inventory
• F: Use item
• T: Next item
  
• P: Look skyward/earthward
• Holding Shift, press Alt to toggle into "focus mode". Then continue to hold Shift to investigate shrubs (aim with A and D). This is the one that's the toughest in the browser :(

Thanks for trying this out! Would love your feedback. -Jake
