Don't Starve meets dark humor.
With wings.

You play a scruffy, sarcastic anti-hero bird who starts out in caveman armor (literally bones and leaves) and claws his way up to a high-tech warbird. Fight through bizarre forests, grab loot, rescue your oddball feathered family, and build the strongest nest the woods have ever seen. He doesn't want to be a hero. He just wants a home.

Three things you'll do

⚔️

Fight & survive

Quick rogue-like runs through forests packed with tanks, healers and DPS creeps. Dodge, dash, peck, repeat. Die, learn, come back angrier.

🪺

Build your nest

Spend your loot back home in the Nest — a cozy city-builder hub where every upgrade makes the next run a little less deadly.

🐤

Meet the family

Rescue lost cousins and uncles, each weirder than the last. They unlock new abilities, buildings and bad decisions.

Meet the locals

Some are family. Some want you dead. Most are both.

Sad Birdie

Sad Birdie

Our hero. Anxious, passive-aggressive, mildly neurotic — and somehow totally lovable.

The Witches

The Witches

Two horned troublemakers lurking in the woods. Cool jackets. Bad intentions.

The Stupids

The Stupids

Long-legged, pointy-horned and not the brightest. They travel in pairs and make terrible choices.

See it in motion

Get in early. Break things.

Where we're headed

You are here · July 2026

Soft launch beta

A first playable slice — the Nest, the forest, combat and the core loop. Limited players, lots of feedback.

Late 2026

Alpha

More biomes, more enemies, more family members, deeper progression. The game starts to feel whole.

Beyond

Full release

New seasons, friends & guilds, async multiplayer nest visits, and a whole lot more chaos.

On the horizon

A little something to earn

Down the road, Sad Birdie will add an optional Play-to-Earn layer for the most competitive birds — earn rewards, collect cosmetics, and even support real-world birdlife charities. It's a bonus for those who want it, never a paywall for those who don't. The game comes first. Always.

Two studios, one weird bird
