Evaluation
Of Bird and Cage launched on May 20, 2021 as a self-contained, story-driven experience described as approximately two hours long. The game shipped as a complete product from day one — a fixed narrative with no post-launch content cycle planned or announced.
Following launch, the developer released a series of bug-fix and polish patches in 2021 and 2022, addressing achievement issues, controller problems, and collision bugs. The last developer communication on record for this game was a June 24, 2022 bug-fix patch, which also mentioned the game coming to Xbox and PlayStation. Since then, the developer's attention has shifted: a December 15, 2025 Steam post promotes a completely different game (Cat Chess) that Capricia Productions is developing.
The only DLC ever listed is the soundtrack, which released on the same day as the game. No expansions, story content, or additional game content have ever been announced. The store description presents the game as a finished, bounded experience ("a two-hour-long story"). There is no evidence that any further game content was ever planned or is now in development.

About this game
FIRST OF ITS KIND STORY-DRIVEN MUSIC GAME
Experience the overwhelming power of metal music like never before. Featuring artists from (ex) Guns N' Roses, Epica, Within Temptation, and many others! Music by Arnold Nesis.
Dive into a dark, twisted game specifically tailored to its music. Let symphonic metal lead you through a two-hour-long story of trauma, violence, and madness based lightly on ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
Play as Gitta Barbot, a 25 year-old drug addict, who tries to escape the physical and mental prison of her captor—Bres Lupus. Make quick choices that will have dire consequences and watch how your actions reveal new paths while struggling to keep your sanity.
You’re surrounded by violence at home and at work, engulfing every aspect of your life—what will you do? Will you take revenge or grant forgiveness? Ultimately, the choice is yours.
Follow the twisted relationship between two characters, portrayed in a gut-wrenching way. Happy endings don't come easily here. In this first-person hybrid of a concept album and a game, your choices and actions will shape the narrative.
