Latest Steam announcements

• The OWLMAN Overhaul is Now Available - 3 November 2024

  At the end of last year, I announced that OWLMAN was undergoing a significant overhaul of its original content, which quickly evolved into something more like a remaster. In fact, that overhaul has been just nearly feature complete for around six months now, so I felt it was owed that it be made available before year's end in 2024 (just missed Halloween ːsteamsadː ). This version is much closer to the original vision for the project than the release version, though there's still a lot more to explore here. There's a fair bit of cut content here due to time constraints, as the focus shifted to improving the core game concepts and enhancing the visuals and atmosphere. Content-wise, the overhauled OWLMAN should still take around or under an hour to find all three tapes. OWLMAN has always been a very experimental project for me personally, so there will likely still be some rough edges (ple…

• OWLMAN Overhaul Coming Soon - 24 December 2023

  What started as a major update to the base OWLMAN game quickly grew into something more like a remake/remaster built on top of the original content. In addition to significant visual enhancements, overall game design has been reconsidered and implemented with feedback and the original vision for the game in mind. Also, while gameplay content is enhanced (or is new altogether), some aspects have been removed such as the chase mode (which didn't add much benefit to the game), and the janky car segment has been replaced with a walking segment. Overall, you can expect to play a more visually interesting experience with more varied scares and a more VHS authentic style. Here's a more specific breakdown of the game you can expect: An entirely redesigned map, with new signage and landmarks to aid in navigation. Enhanced visuals, including new and refined post process effects, improved lighting…

• Quick Update - 23 April 2023

  Made a few small changes to the game. While there's still new stuff I'd like to add, I'm updating a few requested things now so no one has to wait up for the bigger changes. Here's what's new: Adjusted flashlight brightness to be more balanced between indoor and outdoor spaces. Removed preset inputs for gamepad, should now be configurable. I don't own a controller to test this, so please do let me know if there's still an issue. Slightly shortened a few transition sequences.

• Owlman Is Being Set Free - 14 March 2023

  In anticipation of the release of my next game, and an OWLMAN followup, I am intending to set OWLMAN to be free to play. This seems like the right decision for the game's exposure, which it has up to now received very little of. Also, because players are generally spending much less time in game than anticipated, I'd rather not ask you to pay for it despite my personal time commitment to the project. That'll go into effect in the next month or so, so please do take this into account if you're interested in playing. In the meantime, here's a few things ready for you now. Here's what's new: Added a few locations from upcoming OWLMAN p2 to add more variation/landmarks to the environment. These replace some of the generic house ruins. Look for the barn visible from the starting point. These are mostly empty for now but will serve specific purpose in p2. Set the location of the hidden tape t…

• Launch Fixes - 25 February 2023

  Listed below is a few quick fixes for the launch build. If you encounter anything not shown here please feel free to drop it in comments :) FIXED menu not progressing to the game level. If this is still a problem for anyone please do let me know. Slightly adjusted vehicle handling (Stay on the road). Trees now cull at a distance. This is probably not a necessary performance update but it is carried over regardless from Part 2 (coming soon). Added fog to Chase World. FIXED item remained in Chase World which could place players back in the story level (embarrassing).
