About Flock Around
Flock Around is a co‑op birdwatching game set in Goose Lake Sanctuary. Players may explore solo or with up to ten friends, photographing birds across several biomes and adding each shot to a park guide book.
The game includes cosmetic customization for your birder avatar, and developed photos generate in‑game money that can be spent on outfits. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and supports Steam achievements, trading cards, Workshop content, and partial controller use.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Birdwatching
The central activity is exploring the sanctuary together and snapping pictures of birds. Up to ten friends can join a session, sharing the same environment and helping each other locate species.
Friends may also photograph one another, adding a social layer to the picture‑collecting goal. The shared space encourages teamwork and friendly competition for the most complete guide book.
- Assign each player a different biome to increase coverage.
- Take turns focusing on bird species versus player portraits.

Guide Book Collection
Every photographed bird can be added to the park guide book, which records species and their various poses, from common robins to rarer exotic birds.
The guide book serves as a visual checklist; completing entries shows progress and motivates players to seek out every bird the sanctuary hosts.
- Review the guide book after each session to spot missing poses.
- Prioritize biomes you have not yet visited for new entries.

Cosmetic Customization
Players can collect cosmetics to personalize their birder avatar. Outfits are purchased with money earned by developing photographed shots.
Customization lets you express personality while birding, and the description presents cosmetics as a way to express your personality and eagle eyes to your friends.
- Save earnings for outfits that match your favorite bird colors.
- Mix and match items to create a unique look.

Photo Development Economy
After taking pictures, you can develop them for in‑game money. This currency is used to purchase cosmetic items, linking photography to personalization.
The development step adds a small economic goal beyond simply filling the guide book, encouraging players to manage their photo output.
- Develop photos in batches to track earnings easily.
- Monitor how much money each developed picture yields.
