The kingdom of Urralia is gone, annihilated by a dark deity. In this action murder-mystery game you are the Harbinger, a mythical warrior who must relive and repeat Urralia’s final day to solve a mysterious murder and save the world. Talk with the inhabitants of war-torn Urralia, separate truth from lies, and use the power of Omensight to alter their fates. Choice and consequence, multiple courageous companions, and skillful combat all weave together to deliver a unique blend of narrative and action. With each choice, time and fate is changed, bringing you one step closer to Urralia’s salvation.

this game's had my attention since before it came out, given that Stories: The Path of Destinies had seemed interesting and both are utterly gorgeous. it's taken me a while to actually give it its day in the Sun, even after playing through and loving Stories. (y'know, today. the other 2.5 hours on my record are from idling.)
Omensight is kinda like Stories 2.0, but with a different story. it hits so much harder in its mix of time loop sleuthing, unraveling the threads of doom that the characters all find themselves bound up in, and combat which melds action-RPG grinding (though not something you need to fret over too much on normal difficulty) and the Arkham style fights. you start feeling very powerful very fast, at least when it comes to the fighting. there's a palpable dread as you untangle the webs of lies and secrets, and get the sense that they're all fucked no matter what you do--even if that is obviously not logically the case. it's an absurdly riveting mystery that has been really cathartic piecing together.
though obvious, it bears mention that the game looks incredible (in terms of the aesthetic in itself, cinematography, the character design--everything visually), the music's great, and the voice acting is generally excellent. furthermore, the exploration is very satisfying, as secret areas and chests out of view are hidden well enough to be satisfying to catch.
occasionally there are some little bits where the camera perspective--which is gorgeous, mind you, fucked with my depth perception and I ended up falling to my death while platforming or using my down-thrust attack on a flying enemy. I also encountered the endless loading bug once so far (which largely seems to have been resolved though I've seen at least one other person in the forums who'd seen it after the fix in question), though I didn't lose any progress or anything.
all told, this is great, and another win for actually going through your backlog. totally recommended if you want a good, mysterious tale to unwind with. it has this sense of magic to it that is oh so enthralling.

I will be honest, I'm a little disappointed in this.
I got the game for the plot, it's a very interesting idea and has decent execution in terms of the detective aspects of it, which is why I am recommending it.
Unfortunately, the game is borderline unplayable for keyboard + mouse. I know it recommends controller but I was hoping it was just a suggestion, however it impacts the gameplay immensely. The second issue I have with the game is more of a personal opinion than an actual review but I am mildly disappointed in the ending.
That being said, I did really enjoy the game, I just wish I had enjoyed it more.

A small, beautiful game that not many people know about. Shame!
It truly deserves more attention, so I strongly recommend to check it out!
First of all - The game's not that hard, BUT it's super fun regardless. I mean.. who wouldn't want to be a supernatural being slashing your enemies left an' right? THAT'S COOL AS HELL.
I love mystery stories so I'm a little biased here-- I love every single character that you solve that mystery with.
The artstyle is just.. *chef's kiss*
And he OST is amazing and lives in my head rent-free. And the voice acting it really good!!

An incredible surprise
Charming artstyle, captivating twisting story and a solid gameplay.
For me Omensight was one of those games that suddenly appear in you recommendations and instantly pique your interest.
I couldn't stop playing it until the credits rolled.
And now I'm so glad I gave this game a chance.
Maybe you will too.

It's a simple game, though I think a bit misleading. Just enjoy the story, music and gameplay for what it is and you'll find a ruby in the rough. It's not terribly polished, but it stands up on it's own and the soundtrack is worth it as well. I find myself coming back to it now and again for a fun slashing romp.

This is a great game that more people should know about! Excellent voice acting (I never expect that from an indie game so it is always a pleasant surprise), stylized graphics, interesting and engaging story, likeable characters, and excellent use of a timeloop mechanic. I really wish more people would play this game.

Omensight is a 3d action platformer. It's ... borderline OK.
Omensight;s only solid aspect is affordable price. Everything else is "mostly good, occasionally annoying": story, combat, platforming, boss battles...
Still Omensight managed to not overstay it's welcome. So thumbs up.
