What players say

Players are split on Owlman. Some appreciate the Owlman folklore and find it a decent short horror, while others criticize it as unoriginal with bad car controls, clipping bugs, and jump scares that are easy to miss. The November 2024 overhaul improved the game for some, but others still find it lacking.
