(DEMO) Ward: The Bird Knew Everything
Uncover the mystery of an eerie house and solve riddles using your little grey cells!
The game is inspired by point’n’click games like "The Nancy Drew", sadly overlooked "The Black Mirror" series and our beloved "The Sherlock Holmes" by Frogwares, which our love for the Victorian era was started with. We tried to convey the atmosphere of that time as much as possible.

I've gotten as far as getting a tile, but can't use it at the fireplace. The inventory screen is in the way of where the blank space is, and I can't move any of the other tiles. I've explored everywhere else in the room. Not sure if I can use the lavender water on anything. Haven't found a handle to the room on the left. Anyway, it's very early Nancy Drew in its vibes, and I've enjoyed what I've been able to play so far. Can't play it on the Itch app, though; just get a black screen after pressing Play on the menu screen, even after clearing my cache. Oh, and when you go to the tapestry to see the poem, you get at least half a second of black screen. Not sure if that's deliberate, but it was alarming the first time; I thought the game was about to crash. Anyway, looking forward to more, and I hope this releases on Steam!
Hi. Thank you so much for your feedback! We'll keep it in mind!
On the fireplace, you just need to press the correct combination of pictures on tiles (the missing tile confused everyone a little, sorry...).
We'll fix looong black loading screen (after pressing the NEW GAME button) in the next patch! I also think that we need to remove the black screen before tapestry — sometimes it is too long and it раздражают people.
Lavender water has no purpose :)
Thanks a lot for playing!
