    Birds will sit on signposts and branches and point their beaks in the direction of objectives. The article does not post a picture of this.

      Weird. Subtle signposting is not exactly a new feature, even if this form kind of is? The path of grace in Elden Ring, yellow paint in every first person game with parkour, and the wind in Ghosts of Tsushima all come to mind.

        The path of grace is literally a giant yellow floating laser pointing in a general direction. It’s not precise, but “subtle” is not exactly the word I would use.

    Clickbait explained:

    [When on a quest] you’ll see bright blue birds fly into frame and perch on signposts and tree branches and stone arches, their beaks pointing the way to the hobbit you’re looking for.

    It’s a lovely fairytale touch.

    Sounds like it might be an interesting game for people looking for more Stardew-Valley-inspired cozy games to play.
