About Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard
Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard is an old-school point & click adventure game that is reminiscent of the animated movies and Saturday morning cartoons of decades gone by. 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 “adventure” 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 “adventure” aspect of the genre – a big focus on exploring whimsical places, uncovering secrets, and dealing with tense and dangerous situations
- Cinematic cutscenes, reminiscent of hand-drawn animated movies, mixed with a pixel art aesthetic
- Atmospheric soundtrack, inspired by the old midi classics everyone knows and loves
- 6-8 hours of gameplay

Good at 75% off or more. A charming little game. Story is fun when it's focused on the moment, less fun when it's trying to push itself forward. When it does that, it tries taking itself seriously but fails miserably (a lot of boring cliches). It has some issues starting late game (around mid chapter 3 and onwards) I'm definitely positive on it, but again, as long as it's at least 75% off.3 found this helpful
A cute litte point & click adventure game which ewokes strong memories of classic Lucas Arts games. Well written, funny, and overall a good time. My only issue with the game is that the ending felt extremely rushed and unsatisfying (it's obvious that they had to cut content and force some exposition at the end) and like two of the puzzle solutions were moon logic. I do recommend the game though.2 found this helpful
A fantastic nostalgic style point and click! Sometimes the puzzles can be a little counter intuitive or contain leaps in logic, but they're all mostly fair. It does reward you greatly and makes you feel smart for finding each solution. The voice cast is great, the setting is wonderful, the twist in the setting is somewhat predictable but still threw me for a loop. It does feel a little too short for how it's set up and the ending is REALLY rushed. A solid B-1 found this helpful
A good choice for those who enjoy old quests with an interesting plot.1 found this helpful
Good game. The classic feeling Ui reminds me playing Maniac Mansion back in that day. The animation is great and it also has voice acting which is surprising. The plot story is good and engaging but I feel the explanation for the story on the end felt a little rush. The puzzle really doing a great job for keeping my brain working. Shame to say I got stuck 2 times. I need to take a little peek guide on chapter 2 and another little peek for final chapter to find alternate ending. But I enjoy solving the puzzle mostly and it feels so satisfying figuring out most of them Overall it is fantastic game point and click puzzle story game. Recommended for people love this genre, especially for this lowest sales.1 found this helpful
This a very good point and click adventure game. I really liked the pixel art, the puzzles and the story. I would definitely recommend it!
