The Omega Syndrome - Improved and On Sale
The Omega Syndrome, an independent computer role-playing game by the Australian Game Developers, is now available at Rampant Games. Not just available... I managed to sneak it in while it's still on a a half-price offer by the developer to celebrate this new-and-improved version.

It's supposed to be on sale through the 27th, but that's Australia time, which is nearly a day ahead of some of us, so I can only commit to the sale lasting through the 26th here. So you've got a few hours.

Even if you miss the sale, I recommend giving The Omega Syndrome a try. It's a bit more "hardcore" than some of the other RPG offerings at Rampant Games (such as Aveyond or Cute Knight), but it's definitely a unique and fun little game.

The Omega Syndrome draws inspiration from a lot of different sources. For gameplay, it seems reminiscent of the classic PC RPG, "Fallout." The setting and storyline seem like a mix of the X-Files TV series, dozens of B-grade sci-fi movies of the 50's and 60's, and a ton of UFO lore that came out of the last half-century.

Me? I personally geek out on the retro-style artwork, like the piece above. And I am really happy about seeing an RPG that's not just generic medieval fantasy. But I may be jaded in that respect :).

Anyway, check out the game today. That way if you like it, you can still sneak in on the sale price and save yourself a Hamilton. Or whatever your currency equivalent is. If you don't - hey, it's a free game demo! That's the beauty of try-before-you-buy, right?

So check it out!

As always, have fun!
