14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Capricia Games and publisher All in! Games have just revealed Of Bird and Cage is coming to PC (via Steam) on May 20. Of Bird and Cage is a unique project that aims to present a metal album through a short story-driven game, featuring music by Arnold Nesis.

According to developers, this is a dark, twisted game specifically tailored to its music—the first-of-its-kind musical experience available on the market.
