United Kingdom-based developer Milktooth has announced Bad Magpie, a narrative adventure game coming to Xbox Series and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store in 2027. It will also be available via Game Pass.
Milktooth was founded by artist Catherine Unger (Tangle Tower, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees), designer Daisy Fernandez (Card Shark, As Dusk Falls), and developer George Batchelor (Bird Alone, South of the Circle) with support from WINGS and the United Kingdom Games Fund.
“We can’t wait to share Bad Magpie with the world,” Milktooth said in a press release. “We’re a small team making a ridiculous open world narrative sandbox game. We only have ourselves to blame.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Milktooth:
About
Bad Magpie is a narrative adventure game about a magpie with one wing, a missing flock, and an unhealthy obsession with a fallen star. Steal shiny trinkets, cause chaos, and stick your beak where it doesn’t belong.
Key Features
- You Are a Magpie – One wing. No flock. One obsession: a fallen star that wants trinkets and nothing else. Your plan is simple: Find the trinkets. Win over the star. Cure your loneliness.
- A World Teeming With Secrets – From shattering glass by screeching into a megaphone to sparking a flame by pecking flint, Bad Magpie runs on a delightfully elastic cartoonish logic and rewards anyone curious enough to mess with it. Every puzzle has multiple solutions. Most of them are intentional.
- A Mystery Driving the Whole Thing – You are haunted by a mysterious vision. What is it? Why is it appearing now? And how long will the star keep you distracted from it?
