Indie game dev is looking for human bird impersonators for its next game
The dev behind indie hit I am Dead is looking for bird call impersonators for its next game.
As revealed in a tweet by Ricky Haggett (opens in new tab), one of the founders of I Am Dead studio Hollow Ponds, the studio is looking for talented individuals who are able to imitate birds.
