update details
Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard is an indie project representing the point-and-click adventure genre. Inspired by PC quests from the 90s, its low resolution hand drawn 2D pixels graphics combine with classic controls to deliver classic gameplay experience. Developers were also heavily influenced by cartoons from the end of last century, which informed its visual aesthetic. Control of the character is handled via mouse; clicks only move it around; no smart cursor exists here. To command your hero into action, choose from among nine verbs on the bottom panel and make your selection from that list of verbs. For instance, to enable chat between protagonist and NPC you should click first on word "talk", and then on non-writing word ("chat". Likewise here it may involve selecting, inspecting and using objects; interacting with interactive objects etc.
Project Beyond Oulsgard takes place in Velehill, an environment inhabited by humanoid animals that live together peacefully until one day shadows appear and mysterious disappearances of animals and destruction of villages occur. Finn learns of his family being affected and goes in search of relatives while Gwen the Owl helps reveal a dark secret through animated screensavers and dialogue. You should reach the conclusion in 6-8 hours!
