If you are looking for a new game to play then you should look no further than Dinner With An Owl. This quirky little point and click game are free and has no in-game purchases. After receiving an invite from a peculiar letter and a cryptic message, the game's protagonist has to unlock the secret of an eccentric, Boring Suburb Dad and escape from his house before time runs out. One night in the company of an eccentric, but friendly owl designed and created as part of a competition for a game's best design, Dinner With An Owl feels like a breath of fresh air.The story is quite simple and it is directed by the same silly template of most adventure games. You play as Ginger, an enthusiastic but lovable orphan whose quest is to find her Uncle Harry and find out about his mysterious past. Travel through a series of beautifully illustrated scenes, solving puzzles and engaging in a lot of weird but wholesome adventures. The storyline is told through small, character-focused cut-outs, who encourage players to interact with them and use their imagination to solve problems.
The overall aesthetic of the game is pleasant; there's nothing too fancy, but it does feel like a quality game is being made. The main character, Ginger, is drawn in a very lifelike manner, while the art style and animations are very nice. It's clear that this game was created by someone with little regard for detail but, like with most things in life, it is simply a matter of opinion. Dinner With An Owl might not be your kind of game but, if you're willing to put up with a little awkwardness, you will have a lot of fun with it.
