An uplifting adventure.



UPDATE: With the conclusion of PAX, the 20% pre-order discount for the game has been changed to 10%. D-Pad Studio also announced that Owlboy is scheduled to take off on November 1st!



<span class="bold">Owlboy</span>, a wonderful flight through old-school aesthetics and unique platforming mechanics, is now available for pre-order, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% pre-order discount.

Otus doesn't say much but his spirit and determination speak volumes. Just as the beloved owlboy is coming of age, a surprise attack by sky pirates forces him to ride the winds of change and begin his turbulent journey across the aching land. To counter-balance his non-violent nature, Otus will enlist several of his less cordial friends, who are able to gun down the monsters that infest his beloved home. Apart from their unique abilities, the owlboy will share with them stories and companionship, as they flap together towards an open-world full of cavernous dungeons, dangerous ruins, and challenging bosses. Remember: carrying is caring!


Pre-order <span class="bold">Owlboy</span> and take to the pixel-perfect skies, DRM-free on GOG.com.
Pre-order bonus: the dreamy OST is free for the early owls, available to download right away both on mp3 and FLAC formats!
The 10% discount will last until the game's release on November 1st.

I've got to say a name like "Owlboy" is really awful and annoying and a huge turnoff.

The game looks interesting and like it could be something I'd want to play, but, I'm having a hard time getting past the name. I really don't want that word as something that stays in my mind for any period of time and hope to eventually forget I ever heard it.

Yum. Looks super nintendoy.

Wow, I thought the development of this game was dead long ago... I first heard of it more than two years ago (as it already had been in development for ages)

I thought it's Oldboy and immediately think of the movie ;)

Dear Sir, I object strongly to the obvious pixelated turn this store has already taken. Why do we never see games about the good things, like Mary Bignall's wonderful jump in 1964?

Yours etc., Ken Voyeur.

Will it be available for purchase after the pre-order period? I hope it's not just an exclusive.

Here we go again...
You can just... not buy it.
Why are you trying to prevent others to enjoy this and other similar games here?
The more games they release, the better.

Or are you maybe on the deluded trend of thinking that these games are preventing the one you want from being released here?

As for why are these games released here. Simple. Because they are being made. And as a store they try to release deserving new indie games. That actually agree to be released drm-free. And provide a build for GOG.
In fact, if you ask me, they release a lot less games than they should.

PS: Yes. I know. I am more and more sensitive about people complaining about released new games, pixel art and/or graphics.

Seriously?
I can understand complaining when devs have obviously just phoned it in with the graphics, but this looks beautiful, like the very best of SNES era games.

For a store that's supposed to be about old games the user base it surprisingly opposed to retro styled games...

I'm getting a Monty Python's Flying Circus Vibe from this post.

Nice, I read good previews about this one.

Now that's just self-contradictory.

Anyway, I thought that phrasing my complaining into a Monty Python letter will make it obviously not-quite serious. I mean, I'm not going to touch it, but I don't mind it being here. However, apparently for some people

Yes! This looks spectacular. I was actually planning on making a thread to draw attention to this game, but GOG beat me to it :)

Yes, the OST will be available for purchase separately after the pre-order period ends.
