Project: Horned Owl[b] is a light gun shooter video game developed by Alfa System and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.

[2] Project: Horned Owl is an arcade-style rail shooter, with the action taking place in a first-person perspective.

The events of the game take place in the somewhat futuristic Metro City, where the player controls one of two Horned Owl Armored Mechanized Unit police officers, Hiro Utsumi or Nash Stolar, as they attempt to take down a terrorist organization known as Metalica.

[18][19][20][21] Next Generation highlighted the futuristic and detailed 3D environments, interactive backgrounds, lengthy missions, and the overwhelming Japanese-style feel, but stated that "the game is pretty average – nothing wrong with is, just not that much to get excited about".

[4] Aaron Curtiss for the Los Angeles Times commented that "even though PlayStation went almost a year without a decent shooter, it finally got one it deserves in Project Horned Owl".
