OMNIMUS Reviews

Short but great story. Would buy more if there more of such VNs :) .

It's a great game but it's very short. Well it's pretty cheap so what would I even expect? lol. It's a good game with good sprites, special effects, great story, good writing, some deep social commentary, and a great premise. I wish it was longer but whatever it was a good experience. For the price, I recommend buying it anytime you want, setting aside around two hours and playing it in one sitting. I played it in multiple sittings and I think that made it less immersive.

This novel is very short but interesting and with awesome music! Each of both girl has a different temperament but I won't write with spoilers!

Сравнивая с большим количеством графических новелл на просторах Стима, данная игра не выделяется какой-либо чертой. Будь то звук, графика, повествование, сюжет в целом. Все это вторично и встречалось в куче подобных низкопробных новелл созданных на коленке. Я перестал следить за происходящим уже через час игры. А заставляя себя проходить её еще раз в поисках пасхалок и концовок, скоро понял, что совершил ошибку в оценке данного произведения. Игра не стоит даже и половины от своей цены. А её реклама с помощью этти элементов, которая судя по всему должна была быть направлена только на людей не совсем удовлетворенных жизнью, не оправдывает заявленных геймплейных элементов. Очередная мимолетная новелла проходного уровня. К покупке и трате своего времени не рекомендую.

It’s a decent story, that starts a bit slow. But it seems that you can only unlock the romances, if you have ticked all the boxes with each candidate. If you deviate from picking a side, you won’t get there. I also could have used more save slots. After reaching the end, I couldn't explore that many previous paths. As I had overwritten most.

An immersive experience in some ways into simultaneous worlds of virtual reality, infirmity, romance, and a dystopian (but alarmingly realistic) future. While annoying at first, the intro and sound actually contribute to the feeling so bear with them at least once. I havent completed the full story yet, though i died twice in plausible and disastrous ways. The interface is very simple: click for next text snippet, click a multiple choice, or type something. Graphics are simple but nicely drawn anime with minimal movement and some decent sound effects - the main action is in the text. The text is full of relevant literary references, with slight hints of the writers' non-english origin hidden among the occasional typo. The only annoyance i encountered so far is there are merely 6 save slots; you have to re-use them judiciously because even if your memory is up to recalling all the smaller decision points in a textual maze you will have to replay significant portions of the story to make progress after loading a save (though you can adjust the speed of text.) Not sure what would work better if i were the programmer, aside from a massive journal tree. In summary, a good sci-fi story game, worth the price of admission.

For 2$ it was worth it, the concept is rather interesting. Even if somewhat unsubtle about certain economic ideas some audiences may notice. Though in the future I'd like to see more from the devs, just three things. 1. The art here is what you'd expect for a 2$ game, though for anything more. Improved character sprites would be a plus. 2. The most obvious thing, a longer story with more choice would be nice. 3. It'd be nice to see the more subtle Telltale style choices that are more unknown effects, then having the choices basically explain how it impacts the story very obviously. Give the players hooks to bite to see a story they as a consequences of their choices, and less of a choose your own style.

I’m a sucker for dystopian storylines so OMNIMUS grabbed me with it’s story taking place in a future where the world has collapsed and power has been transferred from governments to corporations. You play a character who has waken up from a coma and offered the chance to take part in an experiment that takes place in a virtual world to help heal your physical body. As the testing continues you start to notice that you may be lied to but the question is by who and who to trust ? There is a great set of characters that are decently fleshed out. You really aren’t given any concrete info on who is the hero, villains etc. It all depends on who you believe and your perspective. I like this as sometimes you have things laid out a little to nicely and neatly. The intro, which is a compilation of news casts over time that show the collapse of the world, was fantastic and a great way to start the game. The soundtrack is also well done. There were a few choices that would end up with your death so they were really fake choices which I dislike. I also find that the ending didn’t really make much sense given what had happened up to that point. I played OMNIMUS on Linux. It never crashed on me. I didn’t notice any spelling errors. It did open on the wrong monitor and had to be manually moved over to my main. This is a bug with the Ren’Py engine that the game uses. The game allows you to manually save whenever you want and has six save slots. Alt-Tab works just fine. The game used up 374MB of disk space. During gameplay my GPU usage was 2-6%; my VRAM usage was 622-694MB; my CPU usage was 1-3%; and my RAM usage was 2.6-3.1GB. Overall OMNIMUS is a solid game that has a lot to offer. If you enjoy futuristic sci-fi visual novels it should fill a need for you. I finished the game in 2 hours. I paid $2.29 CAD for the game and feel that is a very fair price. I would have been fine with up to $5 overall.
