AWARDS & RECOGNITION
“Omensight is the most beautiful game you’re likely to see this year. (…) Perfect escapism.”
“An original murder mystery with surprising plot twists packed in a hack-and-slash action-adventure game à la traditional God of War. However the repetitive segments and a glaring omission of local co-op could have been addressed to make for an even better game.”
“If you are tired of big AAA titles and you can forgive some minor technical issues, Omensight is a title which won’t waste your time.”
“I found myself drawn in by the twists and turns my investigation took.”
“An enticing (if sometimes uneven) action-adventure that will surprise you with an intriguing mystery and surprisingly deep characters.”
