WELCOME ABOARD THE SANCTUARY.

From a grand brass-and-canvas zeppelin drifting between the world's last habitable regions, you'll manage an ambitious restoration project. Your mission: catalog and breed rare avian specimens, culminating in the discovery of five legendary species.

FORAGE & EXPLORE Deploy birds to gather resources and conduct field surveys across five distinct biomes—Forest, Mountain, Coastal, Arid, and Tundra. Each expedition brings new specimens with unique genetic traits back to your aerial facility.

CARE FOR DISTINGUISHED GUESTS Display your finest specimens on observation perches. Groom them to restore vitality. Prepare them for breeding programs. Well-cared birds provide bonuses that accelerate your research and discovery.

BREED STRATEGICALLY Combine specimens using genetic trait inheritance. Each parent passes one trait randomly—plan your pairings carefully. Breed for specific trait combinations to unlock increasingly rare distinctions, from Common to Epic to Legendary.

UNCOVER THE TRUTH As you progress through facility reorganizations and breed legendary specimens, piece together why this sanctuary exists and what happened to the world below.

You can also play the game on your phone browser at https://rare-plumage-jam.netlify.app/. I will keep that version the same as the one here on Itch until the judging is finished, but then it may go offline or drift from this version.
