Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard - Ways to Die & Endings

[@PatrickMealeyVO]

Hey y'all! I'm the English voice for Finn in Owlsgard. Recording these death scenes was honestly the most fun part. Originally they were unvoiced but I asked the creator Hans, to let me do some recordings for it. I went a bit hammy and over the top with them and the creator loved it because it added a layer of humor to these pretty dark and grisly deaths. Also small fun fact, the rant that Finn gives when they sail into the fog. All of that was improvised.

[@CrankyTemplar]

It ended up being highly entertaining. You did a great job voicing Finn.

[@drawnsequence]

first time hearing of this game and your voice acting really adds a lot to those scenes. Great work!

[@skeletonking4119]

The voice acting and performance was perfect and adorable!! Match his character!!

[@ethanbloodborne]

From the sounds of it, you had a blast! XD

[@magnusm4]

One of the best young voices in gaming. Hope to hear more in the future. Also a sequel. This is too good to be a single thing. The art, animation, voices, music and feel. It's all classic but timeless for anyone to pick up if they wanna try point and click.

[@foxxygradius7858]

Honestly the cartoonish reactions to these deaths just makes the brutality of them that much more disturbing.

[@hedgehogpower194]

Absolutely 😭

[@Bad_animationz]

Real

[@kinyacat5919]

Idk they're kinda funny 😂

[@WillieManga]

That bad end was... really sad actually. Heroic sacrifice is nothing new, but the emotion in the presentation really did it for me. The voice acting, the music, even the pixel animation really work in my opinion.

[@CrankyTemplar]

This is one of those games where the voice acting really added to the game. It's definitely a well-done adventure game and worth playing.

[@Protoman2024]

I believe 4:46 is what TvTropes would call a "What the hell, Player?" moment. The record scratch and the "letting air out of the band" music that plays as it explains your death is just priceless.

[@jaygooese4242]

So funnier

[@tyvulpintaur2732]

On the TVTropes page of this game, that’s EXACTLY what is posted XD

7:34 I like how Finn could have just refused to go any further but instead decided to die.

[@evilmiera]

"Well, guess I'll die!"

[@RollingBobbyJones]

Yeah thats normal for point and clicks for a while

[@rodrigocofre693]

@@RollingBobbyJones yeah but that second one with the fog was soo direct than i didnt expect it

[@Goat81093]

I knew there was a bad ending as soon as Finn said that the robot guy saved him in the good ending.

[@CrankyTemplar]

That's what I thought too after originally getting the good ending. It didn't help that it took me forever to figure out the tram puzzle with the iron rod so I thought fixing the robot was required initially.

[@Goat81093]

@@CrankyTemplar yeah it took me ages too. Some puzzles in this game are very hard. But I still don't get why in the bad ending even after destroying the robot brain the earth is still in ruin but in the good ending everything is green and nice

[@CrankyTemplar]

They mention in the good ending that robot Finn marked a path to the forested area after saving Finn, so they brought him there. In the bad ending they don't know about it so maybe they find it eventually, maybe they don't.

[@Goat81093]

@@CrankyTemplar wow so robot Finn really just saved them all not just Finn. He deserved better

[@Cafeconmilk]

This is like Hearth of Darkness being brutal and kinda disturbing without being so graphic

[@david.3573]

Man got beat to death and really said "ow"

[@WolfyFancyLads]

Comical deaths, 4th Wall Breaking and a surprisingly tragic bad ending in what had come across as a dumb comedy game. Definitely adding this to my "get" list. :P

[@CrankyTemplar]

It's a lot of fun, although it doesn't offer hints so there's a good number of moments I got stuck. It did feel good to figure out the puzzles though. Definitely recommend if you like adventure games! You might also like Brok the Investigator, which combines adventure and beat-em-up games.

[@WolfyFancyLads]

@@CrankyTemplar Well, I was a fan of the old Lucas Arts games, Sam and Max or Monkey Island for example, plus there's the TellTale games, so that kind of era appeals to me. ^^ And Brok is already on my list, don't you worry. :P

[@CrankyTemplar]

I didn't play a huge variety of adventure games as a kid but have enjoyed the genre despite mostly knowing Sierra and Zork games that could make the game unwinnable. Glad that sort of design isn't much of a thing anymore. Although I'm still fond of Quest for Glory. Oh, and I'd recommend Gibbous if you like a comedic Lovecraftian adventure game.

[@WolfyFancyLads]

@@CrankyTemplar You know I never actually played Zork? I've played games inspired by it but never the original, I should really try dig that up somewhere... And thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a shot sometime. ^^

[@CrankyTemplar]

@@WolfyFancyLads I used a guide for text-based games as some of them are very, very evil in making the game unwinnable. Spellbreaker being one of the worst.

[@SkrapMetal84]

you know half of these deaths could have been avoided if Finn atleast knew some measure of combat......or you know have a dagger on him.

[@tristanbalolong4612]

4:50 BRO CHILL

[@Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

This game has a wonderful _The Secret of Monkey Island_ charm to it, along with the many ways one can die in an adventure game from that era.

[@CrankyTemplar]

I hope you enjoy the game!

[@Myuutsuu85]

@CrankyTemplar from what I have seen so far, I am confident I will.

[@mermidion7552]

Welp, knowing nothing of these games besides that video (that youtube suddenly decided to mention to me.) I am just glad that there is a story where Wolfs are not just "The Evil Species" but in actuallity seem to have well grounded reasons for being antagonistic against the main character. I really dislike the "wolfs are Evil" trope. and even in modern media it is still used to often.

[@hungrypizzafox]

That’s why zootopia and beast stars are really good media 👍 I’ve always loved it when they show characters like that, it makes it feel more like a society rather than a world that revolves around winning and loosing. Or a hero’s power trip, like a lot of anime.

[@projectTyrasa]

not Quite Sierra Games grade Dead player Walking Energy, But Plenty of King's Quest, and Space Quest Grade Deaths. I dig it xD

[@NessLover94]

Compared to Willy Beamish, Finn had some really gruesome ways to go.

[@KudoRedfox]

The death scenes reminds me of Heart of Darkness for PSX being PG but at the same time absolutely brutal

I hope I can play a sequel if they make one, I really loved this game a lot and I want more! Or maybe a completely different game if they want, either or I’d really want more games from this creator, they’re really inspiring to me.

[@CrankyTemplar]

I haven't kept up with whatever they're up to but I'd definitely play a sequel or another game they make if they do so.

[@theautumnleaf2670]

That really makes me think of the game "I have no mouth and I must scream"

[@RupertAndCheese]

This does a great job of the style, but I can't help but feel like the audio quality is way too good. Like, they should totally have made it worse on purpose.

[@bloodyidit4506]

To be fair this is what devs would make if audio memory wasn't an issue back in the day.
