This thing is just such a nice surprise. At its core a very simple puzzle-platformer, no combat, no dialog, no backstory, just exploration, traversal with an amazing chill ambient soundtrack.

It's just the definition of a videogame in relax mode and a perfect place to hang after murdering an army of cyborgs and dying 100 times in The Ascent.

You play as the Staffbearer on a journey, traveling through alien planet biomes interacting with various creatures and solving puzzles involving what seems to be some ancient light-powered architecture.

Speaking of Journey, clearly the no.1 inspiration here next to stuff like Abzu. Bit laggy controls getting used to, strange framerate dips now and then but the whole thing just works as a successful project, kickstarted and delivered by one dev dude.

Omno is a single player adventure game where you play as a pilgrim making your way through an ancient world of wonders on a quest to find a mythical gate of light. It’s a game of exploration and traversal, where you’ll have to use platforming and puzzle solving skills to make your way through each world.

You’ll acquire new abilities as you progress, each one a celebration of the joy of movement – whether that means dashing over sheer drops, surfing over sand dunes or gliding through the clouds. Omno is also designed to be a calm, gentle experience: there’s no combat, and instead you’ll find yourself interacting with all of the strange and fantastical creatures you encounter, with each one rewarding you for your friendliness and curiosity, often in surprising ways!

Begin Your Journey with Omno, Available Now on Xbox Game Pass - Xbox Wire

Hello again, adventurers! After 5 years of sitting in my office all alone, hammering away at my keyboard, it feels very surreal to finally be able to say that my very first game, Omno, is out now on Xbox One and Xbox Series XIS and with Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC. For those […]

Yeah, I agree. Framerate drops withstanding, I really liked this. Puzzles are fun and it is clearly a passion project that has tons of character and personal touch.

To be honest, this looks very generic. There's a hundred different indie games where you travel around the ruins of an ancient civilization touching glowing objects to proceed.

Maybe they don't play each others games.

Playing and enjoying it, but the frame rate in sections is very very poor (and this is on the XSX). Enough to make me feel ill.

I may hang off and hope for a patch. Would definitely like to finish it.

Kudos to the dev!

Thanks op, i saw it on the new additions of gp but was not sure if download it or not. Will give it a try.

 

[OblongYellow]

Will definitely give this a try. Need some relaxing games once in a while, already included Piccross on the list, might include this also

Cant even run 60 on SX

If this game ever has DLC, it should be called MNOM.

OMNO:MNOM.



(Game looks neat though. Wonder if there'll be a PC version. Would have been a pretty good fit for the Deck.)

I felt this way about The Touryst. Beat it in one sitting. What a fantastic little gem.
