During Paris Games Week, visitors will be able to discover and play 30 Birds on the Jeux Made in France booth. On Wednesday 23 October at 2pm CEST, a livestream will be held on the Jeux Made in France stage with members of the Brussels studio Ram Ram Games, who will be showcasing their creation.
30 BIRDS is a poetic and comedic game that combines an oriental tale with a thrilling investigation.
Zig, a mysterious detective, wanders through a mystical world of spinning lanterns to find the thirty birds that will enable her to save Simurgh, the missing patron goddess. Along the way, Zig encounters curious characters and colorful challenges.
In this mesmerizing journey, the player takes on the role of Zig as she navigates through breathtaking landscapes and solves fun and complex puzzles in an attempt to unravel the mystery of Simurgh's disappearance.
The stunning artistic direction of 30 BIRDS was inspired by a trip to Istanbul during which the two creators, Coline Sauvand and Laurent Toulouse, discovered Persian miniatures, a 15th-century pictorial tradition.
After producing a book in 2014, ‘Le Carnet d'Istanbul’, featuring a story, sketches and revisited Persian miniatures, they wanted to transcribe their experience and use their illustrations to create a video game.
The hand-painted sets in 30 BIRDS create a captivating, enchanted world where 2D and 3D complement each other in a unique way to the rhythm of an original ska-electro soundtrack.
