Oweynagat is out now on itch.io. Following the first glimpses and development logs I shared in September, the project is now a playable browser experience. Released on 31 October, it invites you to descend into an experimental folk-horror Otherworld.
Your stated intentions and the things you actually do influence the journey. The underground environment shifts procedurally, with branching routes, hidden encounters and several possible endings. Returning can change what you find.
Expect encounters with the Red Queen, the False King and the Aos Sí, alongside original music, evolving sound and synthesised voices. The emphasis is on exploring, listening and experimenting, rather than combat or conventional puzzles.
Oweynagat began as a rendering experiment: building a sense of movement and depth from layered 2D imagery. It draws loosely on the Cave of the Cats at Rathcroghan in Ireland and its associations with Samhain, developing that starting point into a mythology of its own.
You can follow the earlier stages in Oweynagat: A First Glimpse and the Otherworld Expedition development log.
