Take a Look at owlbrick Right Now
In a surprise announcement that playfully taps into the ongoing hardware shortage, Owlcat Games has unveiled its very own gaming console, the owlBrick. Designed with CRPG fans in mind, the device promises a highly unconventional and humorous take on the genre’s classic gameplay experience.
According to the studio, the owlBrick features a sleek and compact design, complete with Owlcat’s signature expressive face, making it as much a decorative piece as it is a gaming system. Performance-wise, it boldly claims to deliver native 60 FPS at 8K resolution, at least “most of the time,” adding to the tongue-in-cheek tone of the reveal.
Where the owlBrick truly stands out is in its built-in features. The AutoCombat system removes the need for deep character building or tactical decision-making, streamlining gameplay for those who prefer a more relaxed experience. Meanwhile, the Romance Assist feature ensures players can navigate complex in-game relationships effortlessly, even allowing multiple romances without consequences.
The console also leans into immersion with a face scan function, letting players insert themselves directly into the game world and observe how NPCs react. Complementing this is a text-to-speech system that enables direct communication with characters, further enhancing interactivity.
While clearly a lighthearted concept, the owlBrick highlights Owlcat’s awareness of its audience and the quirks of CRPG design. Pre-orders for the device have opened starting today through the official website, inviting curious fans to take part in the fun. And, we gurantee you that you are in for a treat once you pre-order.
