Taking players through lush forests, across a sun blasted desert, over a frigid tundra, the power of a lost civilisation will even carry the hero to the clouds. Along the way there will be creatures great and small to observe and interact with - shy rock-like crabs, helpful turtles, maybe even a friendly dinosaur to ride?
The world of Omno is filled with puzzles, platforming challenges and hidden secrets. The player’s magic staff is the key to powering forgotten relics, and will allows players to dash lighting fast across platforms, glide over land, sail above the clouds and more.
Developer Studio Inkyfox and publisher Future Friends announced that Omno will be available on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Game Pass from July 29th, with a release on Switch following later this year.
“I first started creating Omno just for fun - I mostly just wanted to make a world I could escape to after work,” said Jonas Manke, creator of Omno. “It was only after sharing some of the stuff I was making with friends and family that I thought maybe I could actually turn this into something people might actually want to play! Being here now, nearly 5 years later, with a successful Kickstarter campaign and a game about to launch on PC & consoles still feels like a dream to me.”
