I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I launched Birdwatching Notebook, but within a few minutes I realised this was exactly the sort of game I love discovering. As someone who enjoys watching the birds that visit my own garden every day, this felt incredibly relaxing and surprisingly personal. You start with a blank space and gradually turn it into a beautiful little sanctuary by adding plants, furniture and decorations, with new birds arriving as your environment grows. It's the kind of game that doesn't demand your constant attention, instead happily sitting in the corner of your desktop while you get on with your day before checking back to see who's come to visit. The combination of cosy, idle and incremental gameplay works brilliantly. There are no stressful timers, no pressure and no rush. It's simply a peaceful little companion that's a pleasure to have running in the background, and I found myself smiling every time another bird appeared. If I had one suggestion, it would be to expand the bird collection with optional regional packs. I'd absolutely love to see birds from the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and other parts of the world added in the future. The existing birds are lovely, but seeing species that regularly visit my own garden would make an already wonderful experience feel even more special. I'd also happily play a full-screen version if one was ever created. Honestly though, those are suggestions rather than criticisms. I genuinely struggled to find anything negative to say about Birdwatching Notebook because it delivers exactly what it promises, and it does so beautifully. If you enjoy cosy games, idle games, incremental games or simply want a peaceful little companion while you work or browse your computer, I'd wholeheartedly recommend giving this one a try. It quickly became one of those games that I didn't want to close, and that's probably the biggest compliment I can give it.

非常可爱的桌面放置类游戏!足不出户就可以看各种小鸟,非常适合想观鸟但不知从何入手开始学习的云观鸟者(比如我),像素风格非常概括和还原小鸟们的特征,可以初步地熟悉许多常见小鸟的名称外貌叫声等,萌 虽然是放置养成收集但是过程完全不会枯燥,我会把bgm关掉只留叫声和背景音摆在桌面上当白噪音,看到小鸟在自己精心摆出来的造景里蹦蹦跳跳来回穿梭很幸福u.u

A lovely little desktop idle game. You can leave it running in the background while collecting feathers/coins, building birdwatching spots, and waiting for different birds 🐦 to visit. The art is so adorable, and the bird facts are genuinely interesting. You can really feel how much love the developers put into it. Perfect for bird lovers, or anyone who wants something peaceful on their desktop.

I came across this game while browsing new releases, the name caught my eye, sounds funny, so I gave it a try – and honestly, I'm really enjoying it. Replayability What surprised me most is that it doesn't get boring quickly at all. In fact, I wanna say it has surprisingly high replayability. lemme break down why, based on these systems: 1. Trading – Sell dropped feathers and other stuff to a crow for coins, then use the coins to upgrade or build new things. 2. Upgrade – Unlocks new birds and new buildings, and maybe more, but I don't know yet. 3. The notebook & photo system – I think they are the real gems. To fully complete a bird's entry, you need to shoot photos of different behaviors - walking, flying, idling, feeding, etc. It does sound simple, but trust me, unlocking everything will take lotta time (I'm still stuck in BALCONY ;p). 4. Building – I really want to emphasize this one. There are tons of content waiting to be unlocked – decorations, structures, little details – that you can keep working on your bird area for a very long time. which means you can create a bird area that's truly yours with all the stuff. Graphics And don't let the pixel art fool you. The pixel art looks cozy but the game has more. The birds' movements are incredibly lively and full of details. The moment that surprised me for the first time was when I saw a sparrow turn its head to preen its feathers. That was really wow. And another detail that surprised me even more - when I was looking through the notebook, I noticed that for birds species where males and females look different in real life, the game actually distinguishes them visually. That's how I know they really care, and really know the birds! Tips maybe Don't spend your early coins on decorations like frames, windows, or backgrounds. They do look nice, but they won't help you progress. Coins are much better spent on upgrading and building things like platforms or food carts. These directly attract more birds, which means more feathers, more photos, and more coins in the long run. Bugs maybe It says I can auto-pick up feathers at level 4, but seems nothing happens... nah, no bugs, it's not the way that auto-picks up feathers immediately, it takes a bit. Give it a 9/10 for its price, content, cozy vibe and the efforts Devs put in, will spend more time on it. A few things added after putting another 10 hours into it This is a desktop idle game, so if you just sit there staring at it the whole time, you will get bored. But if you let it run in the background while you do other stuff, and then find your whole screen covered in feathers, that's pretty satisfying. Pick em all up, trade em for coins, then blow those coins on upgrades and decorations – real fun! Ah, about the photo system. If you're not a completionist, or don't know birds that well – trying to catch specific behaviors will be your huge pain, you'll be waiting forever...so, my advice is to shoot whatever photos happen naturally, or you will get bored too. Even if it makes me feel a little bored now, but how many games can I keep playing for hours and hours? So it's still a 9/10 to me. But if you really mind the things newly added above, this game may not bring you as much fun as you expect. Thank you if you read all my bullsheet ;) Have a good day, and good fun, mates.
