1.Henry's Theme (disappearing ships)
2.Home Movies
3.Jenny's Theme (small bets against the universe)

A dark shape, a wooded clearing, a disappearing ship.

A tin cup whistling on a string. Rabbits gathered in a torn dress.

What do you do when a cryptic floppy disk arrives in the mail for a job you never applied for? Who is Henry Combs? Does he speak in prophecies or fever dreams? What does he want, and what did he lose?

Great Gold Bird, Great Dark Yawn is a first person magical realist adventure game exploring the mythologies we build around people, liminal spaces, and the uncanny.

Our story is set in Austin, TX: home of mom and pop roadside museums, extreme yard art, and “keeping it weird.” Aesthetically, we're layering textures of 2D and 3D evironments, found footage of home movies, and hand-painted watercolor cutscenes to create a surreal, dreamlike environment.

The concept for our prequel game (and really much of GGB) is inspired by this beautiful word and concept invented by the dictionary of obscure sorrows: sonder. We want to tell the stories of many, not just one character.

Hey friends! Sorry for the radio silence. We have been agonizing over whether or not to make our game 3D. We ultimately decided yes, and are working with a dope new artist. Hope to have a playable prequel game for you in the next 4-6 months!
