About the Game

The following is a series of tapes recovered near the Overlook National Park where four people were recently reported missing- a family of three and one motorist.

OWLMAN is a retro-stylized, first-person horror game played through the lens of a motorist documenting their favorite getaway. As they proceed back down the mountain and the sun starts to set, it becomes clear something is wrong.
Explore an atmospheric open-world forest and evade the OWLMAN, among other threats.

Features
  • VHS, retro aesthetic.
  • Linear story taking place across a series of tapes.
  • Infinite Chase Mode: See how long you can evade the Owlman and explore the open world without the constraints of a narrative.

OWLMAN is not a you-die-you-lose sort of game. It is sometimes necessary that the characters in the narrative meet their intended fates.
