Release Date: July 29, 2021
A production combining the features of a platformer and an adventure game that takes us on a journey to a fantasy land. In Omno we play the role of a man equipped with a magical staff, and we visit various locations, facing the riddles and obstacles waiting for him there.
Omno is an adventure game enriched with platformer elements. The production was developed and released by StudioInkyfox, a one-man company led by Jonas Manke, an independent German developer for whom this is a debut project.
Omno takes us on a journey to a fantasy land once inhabited by a powerful civilization. We travel through this strange world as a man equipped with a magical staff.
In Omno the action is shown from the third person perspective (TPP). The main element of the game is the exploration of the world - our character travels through dense forests, sunburned desert and frosty tundra. The protagonist encounters a variety of animal-like creatures - from jellyfish that float in the air, to friendly rodents, to giant creatures similar to dinosaurs.
The game also revolves around several other important elements, such as puzzle solving, platformer sections, and avoiding various obstacles, in the case of which the above-mentioned staff proves indispensable. Thanks to the magical abilities that the staff provides, the protagonist can activate ancient mechanisms or move from place to place without any issues by floating just above the ground or by using a kind of teleportation. In addition, over time we also unlock new skills for our character.
Omno is based on the Unreal Engine 4 engine. The three-dimensional graphics of this production attract attention not only because of their rich colours but also because of the interesting design.

Game Ratings for Omno Video Game.
Shacknews: 8 / 10 by Donovan Erskine
Omno is an incredibly peaceful yet thoughtful adventure through the remnants of a lost civilization. The inviting nature of it all, coupled with the world’s diversity and vast array of creatures makes it one worth exploring. Though I had some issues with platforming, there’s enough there to make Omno quite an enjoyable experience.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Robert Ramsey
Omno clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the all-time great that is Journey, and often feels very similar in terms of gameplay pacing and overall tone. Omno never quite reaches the same emotional highs as Journey, but in some ways, it does actually build upon its predecessor's groundwork, offering more opportunities for exploration and player freedom. Even if you're just mulling around an area, interacting with strange creatures and soaking up the vibes, there's a lot to like about this lovingly crafted title.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Roland Ingram
Solo developer Jonas Manke has aimed for the comfort of an easy-in-every-way game and hit the mark. The play feel of the later game and gorgeous environments are what lift it above a paint-by-numbers explore-em-up. It will test neither your skill nor your patience, with solid execution that respects the player’s time. While there’s little to blow you away, there’s lots to impress, delivered confidently and without asking much in return.
