Pigeon: A Love Story

Pigeon: A Love Story is a game in which the player flies over to-scale replicas of well-known cities while looking for a pigeon-shaped soulmate. The maps cover London, New York, Tokyo, Paris and Amsterdam, and are built at full scale, including the buildings, the streets and the pigeons.

Each city is populated by hundreds of thousands of autonomous pigeon characters that fly and interact in a real-time simulation across the whole map. The player can call out to as many of them as they like. Most will reject the player, though some may offer a clue. One pigeon in the world is the player’s soulmate. The game also offers an optional speak-to-coo feature, which lets the player make in-game calls by using a microphone.

Multiplayer supports up to eight players and has two modes. In one, players try to find each other. In the other, players compete to be the first to find their pigeon soulmate. A passive mode lets the game run on its own, in the manner of a screensaver, for players who only want to watch the birds. The soundtrack was composed for the game by Madwreck.
