What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe we created a unique experience with "Ominous" that we would like to experiment more but we lack the funding. With early Access funds, we will be able to vastly improve Ominous.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to release a full version of Ominous in 6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“As part of our plans, we aim to significantly enhance the gaming experience by introducing themed procedural maps for boundless exploration, enriched rifts for new challenges, and an advanced crafting and upgrade system for deeper engagement. Additionally, we plan to implement a customization system, enabling the personalization of bases and characters, to further elevate gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our game is in a fully playable state with 2 different themed procedural generated maps and 3 rift mechanics. We plan to drastically increase these numbers.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't have any plans for the future to change the pricing of our game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We think we created a unique experience with "Ominous" the we want to experiment with the community. We believe we can carry Ominous in so many different directions with the help of the community.”

About This Game

You and your team are tasked with closing a dangerous interdimensional portal before it unleashes a powerful and destructive force. With no weapons to defend yourself, you must rely on exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth to navigate through the hotel and alternate dimensions while avoiding a deadly creature that stalks your every move.

Unique Multiplayer Experience:
  • Compared to other co-op horror games, Ominous offers a unique multiplayer experience. While you and your teammates share the same map, you exist in separate dimensions, unaware of each other's locations, even if you're standing side by side. The challenge lies in finding a way to bring everyone into your dimension.

Creature:
  • The Creature is completely aware of your presence and will actively try to stop you from closing the interdimensional portal. The main difference is that, while you and your teammates cannot see each other in different dimensions, the Creature can see all of you.

Rifts:
  • There are dimensional rifts scattered throughout the map, a result of the damage caused by the creature's portal. When you enter these rifts, you may find yourself in entirely different environments. To escape these environments, you have two options: solve the puzzle inside or die. These rifts can even transport you to a poker table. Winning a game at the table will grant you a prize upon your return, but losing might lead to less desirable outcomes.

Replayability:
  • When you start each game, the map is procedurally generated so that you never get the feeling that you are playing on the same map. The end time of the game will be different for each game. The only way to find out when the Creature's portal will explode is when the portal makes a sound that can be heard all over the map 5 minutes before it explodes. However, this sound can appear as early as 15 minutes or as late as 30 minutes into the game, so you should always act quickly.
