About the story
Harass your neighbours. Debate with birds. Smoke to survive. On the fourth floor of an apartment complex in Vienna, five people lead their lonely lives. Behind door #3 lives the Unnamed, a 25-year-old shut-in: A smoker, interested in bikes, books and music, in the grip of heavy anxiety and poverty. By complete chance, the Unnamed would lock themself out of their apartment one fateful night, and be placed in your hands. The night of the 14th of October 2017 was no ordinary night- A heavy beating of strange wings filled the air with the scent of smoke, and covered the stars in an ink-like rot. It is your mission to ensure the Unnamed's safety as the shadows close around them. Make certain they survive; choose their path carefully.

By James TroughtonAn Outcry is an unsettling game in more ways than one. The talking birds that eat people are frightening, sure, but there’s a weird comfort in embracing their company when given the choice between them and the transphobes filling the halls of your apartment complex. It almost feels like purgatory, a place of judgement with the birds acting as reapers, and you’re watching as these horrible people are picked off one by one, punished for their wrongdoings. An Outcry is a quaint world packed with so much character and atmosphere, oozing personality while holding up a dark mirror to our own, yet it makes me proud to be queer and proud to embrace who I am.
