About the Game
You and your team are tasked with closing a dangerous interdimensional portal before it unleashes a powerful and destructive force. With no weapons to defend yourself, you must rely on exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth to navigate through the hotel and alternate dimensions while avoiding a deadly creature that stalks your every move.
Unique Multiplayer Experience:
- Compared to other co-op horror games, Ominous offers a unique multiplayer experience. While you and your teammates share the same map, you exist in separate dimensions, unaware of each other's locations, even if you're standing side by side. The challenge lies in finding a way to bring everyone into your dimension.
Creature:
- The Creature is completely aware of your presence and will actively try to stop you from closing the interdimensional portal. The main difference is that, while you and your teammates cannot see each other in different dimensions, the Creature can see all of you.
Rifts:
- There are dimensional rifts scattered throughout the map, a result of the damage caused by the creature's portal. When you enter these rifts, you may find yourself in entirely different environments. To escape these environments, you have two options: solve the puzzle inside or die. These rifts can even transport you to a poker table. Winning a game at the table will grant you a prize upon your return, but losing might lead to less desirable outcomes.
Replayability:
- When you start each game, the map is procedurally generated so that you never get the feeling that you are playing on the same map. The end time of the game will be different for each game. The only way to find out when the Creature's portal will explode is when the portal makes a sound that can be heard all over the map 5 minutes before it explodes. However, this sound can appear as early as 15 minutes or as late as 30 minutes into the game, so you should always act quickly.
