Absurd and narrative-driven? I really liked it.
The story is fun, art and music are great, game runs smooth like butter. The outside sequences, despite being quite simple, made the biggest impression on me because of the music and how the distortion of the sky together with the layered graphics made character movement look trippy.

There's no saving, but pressing C+H should bring up the crappy level select buttons I used while debugging.
When They Fly is an absurd game about swine flight made by the Cuatro Assets team with the support of gold extra, as part of their BRIEFS23 project.
Everyone has an impossible wish, a desire so wild that it’ll only come true… when pigs fly. But what if they could? How would you prove it? What if you could hire someone to get evidence that they do? Would your wish come true then? Your clients seem to think so, so you better find a soaring sow soon.

Thank you so much! We were definitely going for a trippy vibe.
These days, I would think the impossible wish for an Argentinian would be a stable economy?
Inflation as of today is at 138%, and crazy man Javier Milei might win the presidency. Yeesh.

We feel you.
