Playable Music Album, Of Bird And Cage, has a release date and we will be able to play this downward spiral of story in Of Bird And Cage this coming May
We may have let Of Bird And Cage slide under the radar too long over here, as here we are first talking about it and now we have a release date for the title. A title that is slated as a playable album that is loosely based on Beauty & The Beast, all coming from Capricia Productions. Of Bird And Cage looks to be more of the basic affair when it comes to some of the video game stories and visuals we have, but it sounds (pun intended) as if we will be able to see how this story ends by “playing the songs” that go along with the choices. It also looks like we will have some that are in there to just set the mood of the setting and tone of what else is going on. Most of which looks to be rather grim for those that may have troubled pasts of their own. Take that as a bit of a warning before carrying forward.
With that all said, it looks as if Of Bird And Cage is now set to hit the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on May 20th now. In the game, we will be playing as Gitta, a 25-year-old drug addict, who tries to escape the physical and mental prison of her captor—Bres. That is where all the darkness and parallels to the other story comes about. All of which will have accompanying metal and rock music to fit the scene and help tell the story. The trailer we have for Of Bird And Cage does make it look as if it can all change and have a happy or very dark ending to it all. Given the bands that we have listed here, it makes sense that it will go to some dark places. But it is all a collaboration from a list of metalheads that feel this story needs to be heard and seen. Color me fully intrigued and ready for it to launch now.

Were you fully aware of Of Bird And Cage before now and should we be shamed for missing it the first time around? Do you think that there will be glimmers of hope along the way or will it all turn dark insanely fast here? Do you think that we will actually be selecting the tracts or will they just be there to reflect the choices we have made and how the story is progressing here? Let us all know down in the comments and then feel free to discuss it all as you will. If we have more to share for Of Bird And Cage, know that we will add it all here. I have a feeling this one could make a few headlines if it goes the way it looks like it will be.
