Dredge managed to succeed my already high expectations with the sheer amount of charm and attention to detail. My inner Call of Cthulhu nerd kept getting so inspired that I started taking notes for my next TTRPG campaign, but I can't help but wonder if they weren't the one inspired by it in the first place. Some of the settings and events seem to be nodding towards some adventure books I've read in preparation for my game, as do some of the letters in bottles you can find throughout the ocean, but then again these are pretty common themes in Lovecraft's works so it wouldn't be surprising if it was all just a coincidence. One thing is pretty clear though, this game is surely a beautiful love letter to the genre and its fans.
Overall Omno is a great experience if you want to just vibe out with some breathtaking otherworldly animals and environments and lose yourself in exploring these worlds. It's a nice few hours of chill adventuring that I’d recommend to anyone even remotely interested in less traditional games. If you enjoyed games like Journey or Flower, you'll also enjoy Omno.
The charming visuals are probably the most notable thing about the whole experience. They remind me of a DS game, even if that wasn’t the intention. They’re low poly and low resolution. Having grown up with those games, these graphics are extremely nostalgic to me and it’s nice to see what I can only assume to be a tribute to that era. Despite the purposefully ‘dated’ graphics, the game has a lovely aesthetic paired with beautiful scenery and a particularly pleasing autumnal palette.
