About the Game

The Big Owl Night is a fast-paced top-down roguelite where every night becomes a desperate fight against hordes of creatures, bizarre bosses and increasingly chaotic powers.

Explore the post-apocalyptic downtown of São Paulo in the 2000s, collect coins, buy weapons, discover upgrades and survive for as long as you can while the night becomes more dangerous.

Each run lets you create different combinations of weapons, effects, relics and passive abilities. Some choices may look simple at first, but they can completely change the way you play.

FACE AN EVER-CHANGING NIGHT

Enemy waves grow more intense over time, bringing faster monsters, more aggressive bosses and situations that become harder to control.

BUILD YOUR OWN PLAYSTYLE

Buy weapons, upgrade your character and combine effects to create unique synergies. Every run can take a different path depending on your choices.

VISIT MERCHANTS AND SHOPS

During the night, you will find merchants offering items, weapons, relics and special upgrades that can change the course of your survival.

FIGHT BIZARRE BOSSES

Each boss has its own attacks, patterns and particle-based visual effects, keeping combat intense while preserving clear action readability.

SURVIVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN

The Big Owl Night is about resisting, improving, testing new combinations and trying to go further in a night that never seems to end.
