I just want to take photos of birds forever »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played1« I couldn't really get into it, but I'll tell you it's going to be a great game for when you have a kid. I'm going to hold onto it and definitely consider it for my future kids to play when the time comes. »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played1« An awesome, cute little game. It only takes about 3–4 hours to complete, but I’m really glad I experienced it, even for such a short time. The small-town atmosphere, with birds singing and lots of other cute animals, is very relaxing. »👍 anonymous review · 3 h played1« J’ai adoré ce jeu.
