Birth is a cute but creepy puzzle game about building a friend from body parts found in the nooks and crannies of a strange city. The themes it lightly touches upon may be heavy, but it handles them with genuine care.

8.5/10

Birth is a wonderful little adventure through a strange city filled with unsettling creatures that never seem to scare you away. The hand-drawn art and range of puzzles make the game incredibly engaging, leaving you always curious to see what’s behind each door. While some of the objectives might be hard to decipher at first, most players will have a genuinely good time deciphering the codes.

Birth is a short, quaint, but most importantly effective, exploration of the loneliness and isolation one might encounter living in the big city.
