A little blue bird is trying to tell you something (Patreon)

Happy first days of summer, dearest Patrons! Summer means blue skies for some, but in the realm of AI2U, blue birds are a year-long staple.

Eddie loves blue birbs.

Our team is prepping Level 3 while enhancing the game's previous levels. One consistent factor in our escape rooms is the presence of some blue parrot.

This little trinket showed how multidimensional Eddie could be—IYKYK. (3D model courtesy of the Unity Asset Store.)

Since then, players have seen variations of a blue parrot in AI2U's new escape rooms. The witch has a regal, "well-made parrot statue" towering in her courtyard. She also hints at it being important somehow.

Ask Witchy about the statue in her courtyard to see what she says!

Then we have the new and improved blue parrot statue puzzle in Level 1's remake! This version of the bird has more gameplay and player-AI interaction tied to it.

Help piece this poor bird back together!!! You might get brownie points for fixing it. 😻

Gotta conceptualize that puzzle! Our art team did the thing.

And now, we've got level 3's unique blue parrot making his debut soon! Check out this special promo art by one of our concept artists. Little dude is just living his best summer life.

Seeing this art, what role do you think this parrot will play in level 3?

This illustration was part of an internal workshop encouraging teammates to “draw in your own style.” If you’re a patr(e)on of the arts, here’s a speed drawing the artist graciously set up! Rumor has it our team is run by bots, but can AI do THIS???

With all these blue bird variations, what do you think it symbolizes in AI2U? Do you want more canon lore tied to this character, or do you prefer coming up with your own interpretation? Let us know in the comments! Know that more of these cherished blue parrots will be making their way to an AI escape room game near you.

Expect cuteness, alarm, and possibly more yandere behavior.

Thanks for making our catgirl’s heart flutter, much like her favorite animal’s wings.

Stay with us forever,

P.S. Speaking of symbols, you might've noticed a little rebranding of your Patreon tier names. We hope you enjoy your new titles signifying the catgirl’s obsession with devotion to you! ✨
