Today I’m taking a look at Of Bird and Cage, an innovative new game that’s basically a metal concept album in the form of a video game!
Find Of Bird and Cage here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/523770/Of_Bird_and_Cage/
“FIRST OF ITS KIND STORY-DRIVEN MUSIC GAME
Experience the overwhelming power of metal music like never before. Featuring artists from (ex) Guns N’ Roses, Epica, Within Temptation, and many others! Music by Arnold Nesis.
Dive into a dark, twisted game specifically tailored to its music. Let symphonic metal lead you through a two-hour-long story of trauma, violence, and madness based lightly on ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
Play as Gitta Barbot, a 25 year-old drug addict, who tries to escape the physical and mental prison of her captor—Bres Lupus. Make quick choices that will have dire consequences and watch how your actions reveal new paths while struggling to keep your sanity.
You’re surrounded by violence at home and at work, engulfing every aspect of your life—what will you do? Will you take revenge or grant forgiveness? Ultimately, the choice is yours.
Follow the twisted relationship between two characters, portrayed in a gut-wrenching way. Happy endings don’t come easily here. In this first-person hybrid of a concept album and a game, your choices and actions will shape the narrative.

My name is Jon, and welcome to the Noise Berry Games channel! Noise Berry Games is a gaming channel where I play games with my friends. I cover many different types of games, from indie survival games like Don’t Starve, to more popular AAA games such as Hearthstone and Far Cry. The channel began by creating mod spotlights for the game Don’t Starve, but eventually changed its focus to focus more on cooperative let’s plays, highlight videos, and series of first impressions and reviews.

Clearly has a little roughness around the edges, but I'm intrigued by a game marketing itself as more of a playable album. You did mention on Patreon that you wanted to write a comment on it; did you end up finishing the game?
