== A Spring Thing 2023 Entrant ==


You are a witch's crow familiar, headstrong as anything but still young and untested.

What starts as a normal day soon takes a harrowing turn when your pacific caretaker, Valmai, is struck down by a terrible hex of mysterious origin. Now it's up to you, little bird, to cure your caretaker and discover the hex's source.

Are you up for the task?

Just got done playing this. It was so much fun and I've already shared it with my partner who also loves crows! I'm sure I'll come back and play it again!!!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that you liked it, and I hope your partner does as well.

That was just adorable. Action-packed, with a great protagonist. I really enjoyed it!

That's so kind of you to say. Really glad to hear you had a good time with it. Fran says CAW back at you.
