Birth is a lovely point-and-click puzzle game created by Madison Karrh. Facing loneliness in the city, the main character decides to collect bones and organs to craft a companion to provide comfort. The player is then presented with the task of finding the bones and organs required to construct this companion. Moving through different spaces — stranger’s rooms, a market, a library, etc. — the player completes puzzles to find, uncover, and unlock the pieces.

Each puzzle is wonderfully crafted with intuitive solutions. None of them are particularly difficult, but they have a nice variety of puzzle types and layers of tasks that makes the gameplay feel satisfying. The only room in which I faced pure confusion was the art studio, which I returned to several times, thinking I missed something — but it was really just a chance to sketch and free play with the art supplies.
