What's a crowchild to do? Trashwing Crowchild fell from the nest half-finished, which is rather unfortunate. Especially since being stuck outside of the nest when Halloween ends means falling apart, literally . . .

  The game has a branching story with puzzles, high school drama, and two possible endings, which all together land in at about 6k words total. A guide to all of that can be found in the devlog post here. The game is available for PC and Linux, and can be run in-browser (above!) across platforms - the browser version can experience significant lag and loadtimes, however, so we definitely recommend downloading for the best experience!

  Trashwing Crowchild was made as part of the 5th Annual Spooktober Visual Novel Jam - if you like it, be sure to spread the word!

  Features This game also has SAVE, QUICK-SAVE, LOAD, and FAST-FORWARD options, as well as further audio and text speed configuration settings which can be changed whenever there's text on the screen.

  There's no Back option, though scrolling up while in-game will bring up a BACKLOG of the most recent lines (also accessible via the menu!), and scrolling down will scrub FORWARD through the game.

  Credits Trashwing Crowchild was developed by the FeatherBoy team. Specifically, Benjamin Feinstein was sole developer, creating all the writing, art, sound, and coding, as well as few key music tracks (Poem Whistle and Assembly Song).

  Other music tracks used in the game was sourced from the Free Music Archive, all falling under Creative Commons license. Specifics about the artists whose work is used in the game (and more license info) can be found by following the links below.
