Omno 2021
Omno is a 2021 adventure game developed by German studio Jonas Manke under the name Studio Inkyfox, and published by Studio Inkyfox and Future Friends Games. It was released for Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in July 2021, with a Nintendo Switch version following in December 2021. The gameplay features exploration, environmental puzzles and 3D platforming as a staff-bearing traveller navigates through the ruins of a vanished civilisation. The game contains no combat elements.
Manke started creating Omno in 2016 as a personal project while employed as a character animator. After early footage garnered attention, he funded further development via crowdfunding and other sources, eventually dedicating himself full-time to the project. Critics generally responded positively, praising its visual design, settings, audio and movement mechanics, though they varied in opinion regarding its platforming, repetitive sections and minimal storyline. The game earned Best Indie Game at the 2021 Deutscher Entwicklerpreis and Best Family Game at the 2022 Deutscher Computerspielpreis.
