Convince Other Flamingos
The end of the world is at hand and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse stride forth. Unfortunately, due to an unfortunate celestial mishap, the Horsemen have all incarnated as flamingos.
Follow Pinion - Death itself in flamingo form - as it identifies its life's purpose. It's going to need your help: not only did it hatch a long way away from the other Horsemen, but it's also trapped in a zoo.
