    This game has been on my "wanting to play it" list for so long. I have seen it in so many top 10 for relaxing games that don't take too long that I had to try it out and finally took the time to do.

    I had a lot of fun with this very relaxing exploration adventure game. You play as Claire, a bird who is visiting this holiday island. You're expecting a phone call so have been sitting inside all day waiting, but you don't have reception in the house. Your aunt tells you to take a short hike to the top of Hawk Peak to get a good signal on your mobile. You decide to listen to your aunt and will take that short hike, but is it really that short? On your trip you'll meet a lot of friendly people, that will ask or demand you for help.

    This game gives you the chance to explore a beautiful island while not really pushing you to accomplish anything. Everything can be done in your own speed and you can go fully enjoy the exploration part of this title. It only has like 2 barriers from letting you move further and that is with the number of feathers you need to have collected before you can go on, but you can find more feathers than needed. This is also the case for other quest items, you need 1 bucket, but can find 2 or 3. You might want to give 15 shells to somebody but can find like 20 or so. That helps a lot with keeping that relaxed feeling while playing this game.

    None of the achievements are missable and on the steam community section, you can find some amazing guides in case you need help. I especially liked the interactive map which you can find in the 100% achievement guide. Completing the game takes around 4h. For one achievement you need to be in the game around 5 PM. I believe it is between 5 PM and 6 PM. I did just save on the spot I needed to be for that achievement since it was my last one and started the game back up at 5 PM to just get that achievement.
