I’m Overjoyed About A Friendslop Game, Finally

Flock Around, a co-op birding game from Secret Plan and partly backed by Outersloth, turns birdwatching into an open-world hunt for species, photos, upgrades, and rare variants.

The writer says it stands out from disposable “friendslop” games because its realistic bird behavior and hobby-first design make it genuinely engaging with friends.

It’s recommended for both birders and newcomers, especially alongside the Merlin Bird ID app, as a game that may spark interest in real-life birding.
