The Three Cardinals is a short, nonlinear exploration game with rhythm-based character movement. You play as Mother Cardinal and explore 3 distinct regions to find your chicks who all recently moved out of the family nest…   KEY FEATURES EXPLORE scenic landscapes inspired by Quebec’s wilderness: from the Northern Cliffs’ golden woods to the Eastern Bay’s rocky beaches… FLY AND SING using simple controls. Feel like going a little faster? As you fly, press “Space Bar” to the music’s melody and boost your speed! Later, upgrade this ability by finding each of the three cardinals' instruments…   MAKE FRIENDS with over 50 unique characters! Whether you’re looking to test your flying skills in a race with Jé, the blue jay, or crack the case on the Eastern Bay’s latest mystery with Sullivan, the snowy owl, there’s always a new friend around the corner to speak to… COLLECT ITEMS and use them to craft new furniture for your chicks when they come back home! A couple pebbles and twigs could be used to make a pebble-bath and branch-couch… or maybe you could even find a stranger willing to exchange these materials for a pet bumblebee!
