Owl's Nest
Go deep underground in this "What if?" approach to history from Pastel Games. In this short, easy point-and-click adventure, you play as a spy sent to infiltrate a laboratory in the Owl mountains. At first glance, it looks like you've broken into any other office, but pry around a bit and you'll soon find that there are a lot of secrets to uncover.

This is really good. I was stuck for a bit, but I eventually figured out the right tool. This game is not exceptionally tricky, but the ending is odd.
I got to the part where I look through the scope of the gun into the hallway and I saw a skeleton and got too scared. Can someone tell me about the ending?

why SO short? :(
For JIGuest, and anyone else who was too scared to see the ending.
Turns out the Nazis were trying to build super-soldiers, which had some nasty zombifying side-effect on their experimental subjects. Those are the skeletons hanging out in the hallways.
Creepy. Very. Creepy. *shudders*
But quite well done.
Nice atmosphere, but the bullets thing is frustrating. I accidentally fired one too many right near the end, and was basically unable to finish the game without restarting it completely.
I didn't think it was short, it might of been to other people (but that is why people always evaluate with "average gameplay"), it was a nice game. I'm thankful there is an autosave system, I accidentally click those ads. 5/5
This game is awesome. But shouldn't Skutnik be tagged in it somewhere? The art in this game resembles The Fog way too much, along with other Skutnik games.
no need to collect all the bullets in the beginning
if you look a little more closely at the lockers there's a compartment at the top with 3 more bullets and a notebook
the game is very short and the colors make u see better in the game but the zombie part made me work for 4 times because of the bullets be careful while shooting them
if u wait more than 5 seconds u die and if u dont use a single bullet for each of them u die again
@kehool
they are extra bullets for the zombies because if u die and repeat from the enrance in the 3rd zone u will have just the bullets remaining before u die if u use just 3 of these bullets u can use the extra ones but its useless if u used 4
Thank you, Kehool, for the tip. I could not
find the bullet in the room where you put in the punchcard
, but I think this is due to the way my Firefox browser loads the game (it was too far right).
Also, JIGuest...that is just about the cutest comment in the world.
Another enjoyable one from Mateusz. Great casual fun.
bio
I have the
five seals
but I can't get them to
go into the five holes
. Nothing happens :(
Go closer Leona
A bit abrupt, and seemed a bit like a cross between the Fog Fall and Covert Front. I would have preferred another one of those games than this, but oh well.
Also,
Didn't some of the drawings look like the ones from Covert Front?
yes, it is an pastel games' game.
the graphic, the sound, the story are very good. but it is very dark...
The start music repeats too much, stuck in my head :(
If someone is interested, it's the castle from the intro in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ksi�...ż
There is a bug, sadly. So beware...
Once I jumped down the shaft, I did not have the dagger on me anymore, so I could not open the hatch. Spent a LOT of time clicking every pixel in there...
After reloading, I was in the same place and all was OK.
That was great. I got killed right away though.
JI Guest, don't be scared. I do business with entities like that. I think you are a girl. That means you could take them in a fight.;-)
@gASK I had the same bug and had to restart the game. Meh.
how to find the spyingglass ?? please tell quick i am stuck and my comp isnt playing the walkthrough
ananoymuss boysd - It is the scope on your rifle. You must hold the rifle.
Wow. I love the richness of Pastel Games' games. There was so much to absorb in terms of art, and concept, and historical context. Nice touches of humour as well.
Ran out of ammo somehow.....creepy game, its ok.
JIGuest, I guess the part where they kill you if you don't speed up is a bit scary for kids your age, so i'll tell you how to kill the zombies.
Aim your rifle at them, and shoot. If you are too slow, they WILL kill you. So do it quickly, and if the screen fades in black, refresh your browser to avoid seeing your violent death. Remember: zombies are everywhere, and speediness is needed.
