Heads up - The Day I Became A Bird partnership + Next Fest demo
PASSION Games, Hyper Luminal Games, and Numskull Games have partnered on The Day I Became A Bird - a gentle, narrative-led experience about young love adapted from a French children's book - and the game will be featured in the upcoming Steam Next Fest with a playable demo now live.
It's an especially delicate, tender piece built around themes of transformation, identity, and quiet emotional discovery, with a soft, illustrative visual style and a focus on mood rather than challenge. The experience leans into small moments and atmosphere, aiming to create something reflective and intimate rather than mechanical or high-intensity, and it occupies a slightly different emotional space from most titles out there.
The collaboration itself is quite an interesting one: PASSION Games is the interactive arm of PASSION Animation, with roots in PASSION PICTURES, bringing its storytelling and animation heritage into games, alongside development from Hyper Luminal and publishing support from Numskull.
