Just Updated

Divine Omen has just received ANOTHER huge update! This one makes quite a few noteworthy additions:

• Enhanced (scarier) scenes and dialogue

• All new sprites and minor fixes to existing ones

• Collectables??? And they're little oranges???

• A photo gallery that incentivizes you to collect aforementioned oranges

• Updated UI with enhanced readability and a more distinct aesthetic

• Enhanced (and slightly more immersive) journal UI

• New, way better branding? Hello gorgeous???

• Minor bug fixes and spelling errors

My focus with this update was simply to make Divine Omen visually more enjoyable to play, as well as tossing in some elements that will entice players to come back! With this, the game should be prepared for the release of Chapter II soon.

Read the full devlog on itchio, which I would tag here but steam won't let me :-)

About This Demo

Avan jolted awake from the same nightmare he'd experienced for nights on end. It was something he'd learned to live with - something that lingered over him since he was just a boy...but last night was different. A distant yet familiar voice called to him through an endless, empty expanse. Visions of a small body wearing blue flooded his vision. His right palm seared from a burn that had long since healed. The nightmares had only grown more vivid with time. More sinister. More real.

The young man held his aching hand close as he wandered to the watchtower he'd been summoned to. A little girl was found dead not far from the city. Though her clothes stained with black blood were alarming in their own right, it was their blue hue that captured Avan's intrigue. Could his dreams be tied to the truth of what happened?

Reports of disappearances climbed high on the Guard Captain's desk while the pain in Avan's head grew. In a bid to ease his guilty conscience, Avan found himself invested in uncovering the truth. The night before he was set to depart for the scene of the crime, two strange figures bearing an eerie message visited his dreams.

"Executioner...your first and final trial waits for you there...at the temple."

It didn't mean anything. At least not then.

In Divine Omen, even the most innocuous choices can shape the fates of your companions. The messages in Avan's dreams serve as your guide. Listen carefully.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This is a horror game and it contains blood, gore, and corpses. There are some violent scenes, although they aren't the focus of the game. This game is centered around themes of mental illness, grief, and remorse. If these are things you're sensitive to, play at your own discretion. :-)
