About 死んだカラスと友達になりたい

You find a crow lying dead on a rooftop and set about bringing it back to life. Play is classic point-and-click: tap or click around the scene, pick up items, then select an item to use it where it might help. The developer calls it a study piece that takes a few minutes, but built so it stands as one complete little story.

It has a quiet, slightly eerie, surreal mood, drawn in a limited retro palette, and it suits players who like bite-sized oddities and tiny puzzle vignettes. The in-game text is Japanese only.

死んだカラスと友達になりたい FAQ

What does the title mean?

It translates roughly as "I want to be friends with a dead crow": you try to revive a dead crow and befriend it.

Can I play it without reading Japanese?
