About This Game

Help JACK BARAU, the pirate petrel, save his species!

Wander across the island in search of lost fledglings. Each night, artificial lights disorient the Barau’s petrels, leaving the young birds at the mercy of lurking rats and stray cats. Gather a fragile but hopeful parade, and lead them to the ocean—where they can finally take flight toward freedom.
