Responding to the desperate pleas of a mysterious character from another dimension, your soul must enter the dark and futuristic city of Omikron. This is but the beginning of an epic adventure through an increasingly strange and dazzling parallel world. You must solve the ultimate mystery: why are you in Omikron and how can you get out? Think, fight, and interact with awe-inspiring environments to defeat the menacing demons that are trying to stop you. Experience the life in an alternate reality with everything it has to offer--including the secret musical performances by The Dreamers, a band of rebels led by the Omikronian incarnation of David Bowie. Omikron: The Nomad Soul is a futuristic 3d-action adventure like no other. Combining a deep game plot with adventure, exploration, action, combat and role-playing elements, the Omikron experience will captivate you from the moment you enter the strange and wonderful world beyond our own. Only using all of your combined skills will bring you deliverance from this exotic dimension. After Bowie's death in 2016, The Nomad Soul was made available at no cost for one week. Read less

Played on Dreamcast as a child. I fully intend to play this again, one day...but I've never really gotten past the first and second city areas in all the times I've tried. The controls were bad back then, and now...

...but David Bowie and nostalgia, man! The soundtrack to this game's been with me most of my life.

Dazzling and Loved every bit of the storyline, but the Gameplay has aged really badly

One day I will beat you, my friend. But today is not that day. I used to play this on PC with my brother a lot growing up, but never got very far. I couldn't remember why until today. It seems to be a little glitchy. For some reason elevators stopped working. It didn't matter which save file I loaded because every elevator refused to budge. I was only a few hours in, but I don't have the patience to restart now. It's such a bizarre and ambitious game. I will definitely come back to it at some point.
