A walkthrough for the game with achievements.
 
 

Controls

F = make sound (chirp or yell)
 
Spacebar or Left Click= jump or fly faster
 
Right click = interact or grab
 
 
I recommend against using the walkthrough unless you need it. Don’t worry about missable achievements until after completing the game. The game is only around 5 hours long and you can replay any section after you have completed it.
 
 
 

Desert

There are windsocks that will sparkle from a distance. Land on each windsock and make noise (F key) to call out to the crows nearby. This will raise the sock and blow the golden flakes towards the weather vane tower.
 
 
1. The first windsock is below the broken tower.
 
 

 
 
2. In an oasis near the vane tower.
 
 

 
 

 
 
3. On a cliff. You can see the broken tower and vane tower from it.
 
 

 
 
4. In an oasis near a black plateau with a cave visible to the right.
 
 

 
 
5. Inside of a hole near the black plateau.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Go back to vane tower after raising all of the windsocks. Then land on it and call the other crows to it. This will break the tower and cause the ball to shatter on the floor below.
 

Awakening           The machinery of the world rumbles back to life.

 

 
 
Land on the golden flakes and you will turn into a human.
 

Transformation           Turn into a human by landing on golden flakes.

 

 
 
Then go to the large doors and push them open.
 
 

 
 

 
 
 

Desert – Missable Achievements

Storm Chaser           Fly into the storm circling the world.

Junction           Land on the perch inside of the cave full of cages.

 
The entrance to the Junction cave can be seen on the left side of the image below.
 
 

 
 
The perch can be seen below.
 
 

 
 

Habitat           Land on the perch by the buried city.

 
The Habitat can be found if you take a left before entering the Junction cave (mentioned above).
 
 

 
 

Max Speedbird           Quickly fly through the desert canyon starting from the shallow end.

 
Fly through the canyon starting from the spot in the image below. This is near the beginning of the chapter. Stay somewhat close to the ground and near the middle of the canyon. You can start out slow, but you need to mash click to fly fast enough.
 
 

 
 

 
 
You will earn the achievement shortly after going under a small ledge on the right side of the canyon. If you see the first windsock and broken tower then you have gone too far.
 
 

 
 

Premeditated Murder           Accumulate a legendary flock of crows by the vane tower.

 
Activate all of the windsocks and go to the vane tower. If this doesn’t work then you will need to free the crows stuck inside of the Junction cave.
 
 

 
 
Land in the gold dust inside of the cave to become human. Then climb to the top of the area and jump onto the cage attached to a chain. Ride the cage until you fall and land near a blocked window. Then open the window to free the crows. Then go to the vane tower to earn the achievement.
 
 

 
 

Summit Fan           Climb to the top of the Junction mountain as a human.

 
Turn into a human in same spot mentioned above. Then push the lower window shown in the image below and exit it.
 
 

 
 
You will need to push a box to reach the window.
 
 

 
 
Exit the cave and climb the cliffs until you reach the tree directly above you.
 
 

 
 
You will earn the achievement when you reach the tree. Use this
 

 
if you need more help.
 
 

 
 
 

Prison

 
 

 
 
Jump off the cliff and turn into a crow. Then free the 3 crows that are stuck in cages around the prison. Two cages must be knocked down by landing on them and calling other crows to help (F key).
 
 

 
 
Land in the gold pile and turn into a human. Then interact with the cages (right click) in order to break them open.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Then push two golden balls off the edge. One of them will shatter and allow you to free the last crow.
 
 

 
 
Once you have freed all of the crows you can fly over to the doorway near the entrance. Then land on the perch and call the other crows over. This will fix the track allow the gold ball to shatter near the exit.
 
 

 
 
Then land in the gold dust and enter the doorway.
 
 

 
 
The next room has a hollow dome full of gold dust. You need to free the caged children around the dome. Pull the 3 levers around the room in order to free them. Two levers are accessible in the first part of the room.
 
 

 
 
After pulling the two levers a bridge will fall to the center of the room. Go inside of the dome and climb to the top of it.
 
 

 
 
Then walk over the bridge and around the side of the room. Then pull the third lever to free the last child. This will cause the dome to shatter. A gold ball will form and time will fast forward.
 

Acceleration           Time lurches forward and the world begins to change…

Storm

You start in a room with some other children pushing a golden ball. Follow them until you turn into a crow.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Fly to the glowing tower and land next to the ball to turn into a human. Then yell (F key) to get the other children to help push the ball.
 
 

 
 
When you reach a gap you will need to HOLD DOWN the F key in order to yell louder. This increases the range of the ball’s power and causes the bridge to form.
 
 

 
 
There are a couple of doors that you will need to open along the way. Make sure to keep the ball away from the doors or they will be too heavy to push.
 
 

 
 
Eventually you will reach a central plaza. HOLD F to get the children to chant and extend the power of the ball. You will notice that the range will be too small to complete the bridge to the doorway. You need more children to increase the range.
 
 

 
 
There are two other groups of children in the area. One group of children is easy to find. The other group is across a large gap (seen below). If you turn into a crow you can see the path to reach them.
 
 

 
 
After recruiting the first group of children you will have enough power to create the L shaped bridge in the image below (left side). This is the path to the second group of children. Note that the children can get stuck, so may need to restart from a checkpoint to get them to respawn.
 
 

 
 
After recruiting the children you will have enough power to create the bridge and open the door.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Push the ball until you reach the tower.
 
 

 
 
 

Storm – Missable Achievements

Echos           Land on a perch near the tower.

 

 
 
There is some water below the perch.
 
 

 
 

The Tower           Stand next to a cliff as a human.

 
The cliff will sparkle when you are near it. It’s to the right just after passing the
 

 
while pushing the ball. Push the ball to create a bridge to the cliff’s edge.
 
 

 
 

Vane           Land on the perch near the plaza.

Tower

You start in the room with a ball. Two adults will perform a ritual and you will receive a mask. Pick it up by grabbing it (right click). Then use if (F key) to create the 3 bridges and free your friends.
 
 

 
 

 
 

Convoy           Open the way for your friends.

 
Then climb the tower. There is only one way to go until you reach the very top.
 
 

 
 

 
 

Ascension           Don the mask. Ascend the Tower.

 

 
 

 
 

 
 
You have two ending choices when you reach the top of the tower. See the Missable achievements section for help.
 
 

 
 
 

Tower – Missable Achievements

Professional Block           Be the first to leave the base of the Tower.

Just after
 

 
you will have the ability to create 3 bridges and help your friends escape. Instead of doing this you should only create one of the bridges and leave the room before them. You can body block them to prevent them from passing you.
 
 

Sacrifice           Walk under the golden ball and sacrifice yourself (F key).

Migration           Take a leap of faith towards a new beginning.

Walk off the edge of the tower instead of sacrificing yourself.
