Omikron: The Nomad Soul |
Action Game from Eidos Interactive, by Quantic Dream
Adventure game with additional elements. It is the latest title in the Omikron series and is set in the doomed city of Omikron,. Rendered in detail, you are free to roam the streets, take taxis, enter the buildings and talk to the inhabitants. The game is not strictly linear (it uses the so-called 'Intelligent Adventure Manager') but develops into a struggle to save the city from an evil entity named Astaroth.
The gameplay involves exploration, interaction with NPCs, combat and puzzle-solving. The game's name refers to the fact that rather than playing a single character throughout, you move bodies when the host is killed, taking over the first person that touches the corpse. Each host has its own characteristics.
The game has received a lot of attention partly because David Bowie makes an appearance as a musician character named Boz. A virtual album is even included.
