Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Day I Became a Bird
I spent The Day I Became a Bird watching Frank fumble through puberty's strangest logic puzzle: how to catch the attention of Sylvia, a girl so obsessed with ornithology that she might as well be one herself. The answer, naturally, is to become a bird. The game's premise sounds absurd, and it is, but that's exactly the point. There's a tender awkwardness here, a warmth that respects how earnest and ridiculous young love feels simultaneously. This is a short, low-pressure exploration game about collecting things, solving environmental puzzles, and uncovering the layers of Frank's weird transformation. No timers. No fail states. Just a boy, some feathers, and the slow realization that maybe the journey matters more than the outcome. The pixel art is attentive and gentle, the pacing knows when to breathe, and it ends before outstaying its welcome. If you want something that feels handmade and understands the ache of childhood attachment, this is worth your time.
