While it is obviously inspired by the LucasArts and Sierra classics, it also strives to create its own style and identity by returning to the original āadventureā aspect of the genre. Aside from solving the obligatory inventory-based puzzles, this means a heavy focus on exploring mysterious lands, uncovering secrets and dealing with all kinds of dangers. Strange things are happening in the animal kingdom of Velehill. Unknown shadows of large appearance are seen roaming through the forests and making the ground shake with every step of their steel feet. Houses and trees are destroyed and one animal after the other seems to disappear mysteriously. Finn, a young roebuck, soon finds out about the disappearance of his family as well. Without hesitation, he goes on a journey to find them, not knowing he and his new friend Gwen the owl will soon uncover a dark secret that should have been kept hidden for all eternity... An immersive story told through hand-drawn landscapes and countless animations!A return to the āadventureā aspect of the genre ā a big focus on exploring whimsical places, uncovering secrets, and dealing with tense and dangerous situationsCinematic cutscenes, reminiscent of hand-drawn animated movies, mixed with a pixel art aestheticAtmospheric soundtrack, inspired by the old midi classics everyone knows and loves6-8 hours of gameplay

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT?
Play it if you are into old-school, point-and-click adventure games. If you arenāt this wonāt be for you, as it leans heavily on the style of the later iterations of the Kingās Quest series. I personally love this game genre, so I was picking up what Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard was putting down as soon as the main title screen booted up.

I remember playing those adventure games back in the day when I was a kid and Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard seemed like a good pick to get that oldschool adventure itch. But for some reason it was so hard to progress in the game that I gave up pretty fast. But we will get to that in this article.
So the game starts with a great and fun although a bit too long intro introducing us a main character. And the thing is that after that we are on our own in our quest to find our parents.

Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard is a throwback classic point & click adventure. Follow Finn, a young deer, as he arrives back home only to be met with his house in a dilapidated state. He notices his parents are missing, along with strange footprints leading outside the forest. What could have happened here?
Owlsgard! A modern approach to the classic 90's genre!
