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. It has the option of utilizing the PlayStation mouse or the Konami light gun.

According to Famitsu, Project: Horned Owl sold approximately 35,733 copies during its lifetime in Japan.[5] The game received mixed reviews from critics.[6][7][8][9] 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 it, just not that much to get excited about".[3] 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".[10] Bill Hutchens for The News Tribune found that while the game can be played using the standard controller, it was "much more fun when played with a light gun".[11]
