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.

Omno is an enjoyable and visually beautiful experience. While there are some elements of the gameplay that feel lacking and where you’ll feel like you’re taking a backseat, it accomplishes what it sets out to do with its relaxed approach to puzzles and exploration. It will give you an atmospheric adventure to immerse yourself in for a few hours, and maybe as a bonus, leave you with a nice warm fuzzy feeling. And sometimes, that’s just what you’re looking for.

OMNO is a game worth experiencing despite its minor faults, especially as it's a great testament to what can be created by a single person. There's no need for a complicated storyline, just simple puzzles and platforming to create a satisfying experience. The gratification comes from working things out on your own and making your own way to the Gate of Light through a journey that never become too difficult or frustrating.
TechRaptor: 9 / 10 by Catherine Dellosa
Omno provides a great escape from this suffocating world we live in today through its complete absence of any gloom and doom. Jonas Manke a.k.a. StudioInkyfox initially created this passion project as an escape on Kickstarter, and it really does deliver. Just be sure to play this game on a platform that doesn't just fulfill its minimum requirements-I had the misfortune of installing it first on a PC that was so choppy and laggy I couldn't even make the shortest jump across two platforms.
