Omno

Omno is a 2021 adventure game, developed by German video game developer 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, followed by a Nintendo Switch version in December 2021. Its gameplay combines exploration, environmental puzzles and 3D platforming as a staff-bearing traveller passes through the remains of a lost civilisation. The game has no combat mechanics. Manke began developing Omno in 2016 as a hobby project while working as a character animator. After attracting attention to early footage, he financed its continued development through crowdfunding and other funding and began working on it full-time. The game received generally favourable reviews, particularly for its visual design, environments, music and movement, although critics differed over its platforming, repetition and sparse narrative. It won Best Indie Game at the 2021 Deutscher Entwicklerpreis and Best Family Game at the 2022 Deutscher Computerspielpreis.
