View Community Hub. About This Game Owlboy is a story-driven platform adventure game, where you can fly and explore a brand new world in the clouds! Well Owlboy is loaded with plenty of adventures. This addictive game will place you in the role of Otus, a small owl that lives in a singular floating city called Vellie. But the peace in the city is altered by the attack of a group of air pirates that really start bothering all the population.
Otus will be in charge of protecting his city by moving along a large map with a whole collection of platforms that he will have to overcome. To do so, you will have to analyze every tiny area of the setting in search for elements that will help you out, at the same time that you explore dungeons and eliminate the enemies that are protecting them Otus, as an owl, is capable of flying.
The key to his success lies in his skill when it comes to flying, which he will have to do to be able to defeat all kinds of fantastic creatures. You will be able to control Otus both with the keyboard as well as the mouse. Geddy is a human who serves on the Vellie Guard. When the village of Vellie is attacked by a band of pirates, he sets out on a journey with Geddy to save the village, and rest of the world as they know it.

As they work to fight the pirates, they slowly uncover the truth of the ancient owls, and have to work to fix their mistakes.
