Owlboy is a very special game by D-Pad Studio, a Norwegian based indie team that have been developing the game for the past few years.

In Owlboy, you play as Otus, one of the few remaining members of the race of Owls, a renowned race that pioneered much of the world’s technology.

Otus’s village gets attacked by pirates, he begins a quest to save his village, and his people. In the game you’ll be not only exploring and seeing more of the world, but you’ll be trying to live up to the standard your ancestors set.

Gameplay in Owlboy is a mix of platforming, flying, puzzle solving, and exploration.

The game is definitely looking more and more polished as it progresses, and if you’re interested in playing an early demo you can do so here.

Keep in mind though, this is an old demo so it won’t reflect the final product. D-Pad Studio is still trying to finish the game for release this year on PC, but they are considering ports to console.
