Description

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...

This might the best classic point & click of last decade. Perfectly incorporates what made Lucasarts games good. The praise - interesting story that kept in its grasp until the last screen - perfect puzzle difficulty
This is an amazing point-and-click adventure! It plays homage to retro variants of this game with the ways in which you engage with the world, but is moderinized the way that avoids clunkiness, going back and forth too
One of my top choices for contemporary point and click games for its beautiful pixel art, a vast array of characters (enough to supply you with favorites and annoyances), very knowing puzzles throughout the whole game
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
Solid old school adventure that played through an interesting storyline. There were a few puzzles where I just couldn't figure the logic to solve so had to check out a walk through a couple times to progress. I chose
