OMNO

In this atmospheric third-person adventure, you embark on a journey through a colourful and imaginative world of unique regions and fascinating wildlife, solving puzzles along the way. Despite a constant stream of new discoveries, the flow of the game is never disrupted. Rather than causing sensory overload or feeling overwhelming, each new piece of information blends harmoniously into the gameplay. The same applies to the abilities you acquire as the game progresses. Thanks to this gradual build-up, getting started is easy and the approximately 5 hours of playtime fly by.

OMNO features a range of different gameplay mechanics. You’ll teleport, float, surf, move blocks and combine abilities – all of which depend on perfect timing. In each region, puzzles of varying difficulty must be solved, though never all of them. This leaves it up to the players to choose the level of difficulty they wish to tackle in order to reach the end of each region.

Thanks to the fluid and intuitive controls (even after acquiring new abilities), you can easily immerse yourself deeper and deeper into the game world. In particular, staff surfing (the only tool in OMNO) gives the game an incredibly pleasant flow that literally lets you float away. A real escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. For us, this complete package is clear proof that even very small studios can create great works.
