30 Birds

Developed by Ram Ram

30 Birds is a narrative puzzle game laid out on the surface of rotating lanterns. Wander through a gorgeous world inspired by Persian art, meet quirky birds, and solve puzzles to rescue Simurgh, a giant bird goddess from Persian and Middle Eastern mythologies. The name is a pun - "Simurgh" means "thirty birds" in Farsi, referencing The Conference of the Birds by Attar of Nishapur.

Storyline

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…
