A Bird Story is a simple, surreal short about a boy and a bird with a broken wing. Despite being story-based like most of Freebird Games' titles, there are essentially no dialogues throughout.

A Bird Story is the bridging episode between episode 1 (To the Moon) and episode 2 of the series – the protagonist (a boy in A Bird Story) would grow up to be the elderly patient in episode 2. However, the game is completely standalone, and is meant to be an individual story of equal importance with its own beginning and ending.

While Dr. Watts and Dr. Rosalene aren’t in this game (chronologically, it takes place before their time), the boy in it eventually grows up to become their patient in "episode 2" of the To the Moon series.
