Owlboy is an adventure game in which you must save the world from a great threat. But you won’t be alone on your adventure, as you can rely on several allies, as well as weapons and various abilities.

Owlboy is an adventure game developed by the indie studio D-Pad Studio. Released on November 1, 2016, on Steam, it is currently 75% off through May 18, 2026. As a result, according to SteamDB, it is available for $4.99 instead of $19.99.

With its pixel art style, the game’s story takes place in the village of Vellie. You play as Otus, a young mute boy who belongs to a humanoid race and lives a peaceful life. But your life changes when your village is attacked by a band of pirates who destroy everything in their path.

Thus, you must embark on an adventure to save the world from this threat. But you won't be alone, because your friend Geddy is by your side, and you'll meet allies during your journey. However, to save the world, you’ll have to fight various enemies in dungeons, as well as bosses. To defeat them, you have several skills at your disposal, and your allies can also help you with their weapons and abilities.

Although its development began in 2007 and faced several twists and turns, the game is loved by 83% of players on Steam, based on over 6,070 reviews. Thus, its universe, soundtrack and story are among its strong points. However, it is also a game with several weaknesses. Indeed, it seems quite simplistic, and the fights can be extremely difficult, especially against bosses. Finally, it’s worth noting that its lowest price was $3.99 during an 80% discount on October 27, 2025.
