Time-bending action-adventure Omensight is out today, and today, and today

Omensight-header

Here is a list of reasons for why I’m strongly considering taking a break from a game I’m really enjoying, so that I can play Omensight (which just came out) instead.

  • It’s about re-living the day of the apocalypse and attempting to stop it by solving a murder.
  • You solve that murder by following different characters, manipulating them, then allying with or fighting them based on what you learn.
  • There’s time-bendy combat that reminds me of Transistor in all the right ways.
  • It’s got some cute mice in it.
  • It’s about re-living the day of the apocalypse and attempting to stop it by solving a murder.

Stories: The Path of Destinies

It is apparently a good week to not spend money on games. Not only is The Flame in The Flood still gratis via Humble, but the similarly delicious-looking cartoon action-adventure Stories: The Path of Destinies by Spearhead Games is currently free on Steam. Grab it now, keep it forever and play it a whole bunch of times because this one is built for the long-haul, if you don’t mind a little repetition.

Omensight - One Week Until Launch and Wishlist Quest!
Omensight: Definitive Edition - Siu Fung (SHG_Phil)
It's hard to believe for us but Omensight is out in exactly one week, on May 15!!

We are a small independent studio of 15 people and this has truly been a journey of sweat, blood and tears. Making a game is a a big challenge and we keep pushing ourselves to always be better and smarter. However, a bigger challenge is getting people to see, notice and buy the game we put so much effort into. With over 7,000 games released on Steam last year, it's really easy to get lost in the shuffle.

This is why we have started a new contest: Wishlist Quest!



The goal of this quest is to gather as many wishlist additions as possible for Omensight on Steam.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/455820/Omensight/

Each time we reach a new threshold, we unlock a special reward, starting with a free Steam Collector Bundle of Stories: The Path of Destinies at 10,000 wishes (which includes the art book and soundtrack)!

But that's not all! Everyone who participates also earns a ticket for a chance to win one of 100 Steam keys to Omensight!

Please don't forget to mention this to all your family and friends. The more, the merrier!

Omensight is a time-looping action game about solving a murder
Omensight: Definitive Edition

Montreal-based studio Spearhead Games, best known for the action RPG Stories: The Path of Destinies, announced their next game today: Omensight, a "time-looping mystery action game" which serves as a "spiritual successor" to Stories, according to this FAQ. 

Omensight puts players in the shoes of the time-bending Harbinger and tasks them with solving a murder in the fantasy world of Urralia. The murder kickstarted Urralia's destruction, you see, and you've got to crack the case and prevent it.

As the Harbinger, players can manipulate time to see events from different perspectives and follow different characters connected to the murder. "Appear alongside them during their final moments to learn how their decisions unfold, or confront them and foil their plans," Omensight's reveal trailer description reads. Some of these characters can also become companions. 

Your sleuthing also involves some slashing, mind. You're a pivotal player in several stories, and when those stories call for action, Spearhead reckons you'll need to "make use of the Harbinger's sword techniques and creatively combine time-slowing spells." Spearhead says there are over 12 bosses and 20 enemies in Omensight, with the game itself clocking in at 12 to 20 hours long by their estimate.

The teaser trailer above doesn't give us much of a sense of how Omensight will play, but we do know it's built in Unreal Engine 4. Spearhead plans to release Omensight on PC "very soon."
