Didi Long Games, a Chinese indie studio, has announced Feather Trace and opened its Steam store page. The game is a deck-building card game about birdwatching, set in a future where extreme disasters have collapsed Earth's ecosystem and driven birds to the brink of extinction.
Humanity built massive ecological domes to protect the remaining birds. Players explore environments inside the dome, encounter events and treasure chests, and discover birds of various species and appearances. Filling the encyclopedia unlocks new areas and rare birds.
Encountering a bird starts an observation that becomes a non-combat card match. Players use cards to raise research level while managing distance, alertness, and resources, and must complete research before the bird flies away. Different appearances of the same species are collectible.
Exploration consumes stamina, and players must return to base before it runs out. A roguelite growth cycle lets players strengthen cards and abilities between base and exploration. The encyclopedia also ties into story progression, revealing the secrets behind the domes as it fills. Feather Trace is scheduled for release in 2027 and currently does not support Japanese.
