Floating islands in the sky are the setting for this story-driven platform adventure. You play Otus, a mute young owl who struggles to meet the expectations of his people, and whose troubles deepen when sky pirates appear. Otus can fly and carry objects and companions, and his friends act as gunners who fight alongside him, each with unique abilities.
The journey leads through monster-filled ruins with secrets and unexpected encounters. Owlboy's pixel art is a highlight, drawn with a great deal of detail, and flight is blended with platforming and combat. A single-player game with full controller support, it suits players who love retro-style visuals and emotional storytelling.
