About Omen Exitio: Hunger
February 11, 1927. Brooklyn.
A boy named Billy Gaffney disappears from his apartment building. The case is real. The killer is real. The man who took him was real. But his purpose was from another plane of existence.Omen Exitio: Hunger is a Lovecraftian investigative gamebook set in the darkest corners of 1927 New York. You are a journalist. The city needs you to find the truth. The truth needs you to go somewhere you cannot come back from.Your Choices Shape the Case
Omen Exitio: Hunger is a gamebook, and every decision you make leaves a mark. You cannot be everywhere, and what you choose to pursue shapes not just the investigation but the story itself. Paths you ignored three scenes ago will close quietly, without warning.As the investigation deepens it will pull you beyond the streets of New York, into dreams, other worlds, and the Lovecraftian mythology that underpins everything.Multiple endings await, shaped by every choice you made and every one you did not.Every Word Is a Clue. Every Silence, Too.
Not every witness wants to be found. Not every suspect will tell you the truth.Talk to suspects and persons of interest, extract what they know, and persuade them to collaborate when they would rather not. New dialogue mechanics let you push, empathize, or apply pressure depending on who is sitting across from you and what the case demands.What people say matters. What they choose not to say matters more.Inside History
The events of Omen Exitio: Hunger are rooted in documented historical fact: real people, real places, real newspaper archives, all reconstructed with meticulous accuracy before being draped in cosmic horror. Every crack in the historical record is where something ancient and hungry waits.To close the case you will need your skills as a reporter and your eye for detail. Move through cramped alleys, decaying buildings and the neighborhoods the famous Roaring Twenties never touched, and use everything you find.The Crime Scene Doesn't Lie. But It Doesn't Volunteer Anything Either.
The investigation takes you beyond conversation and deduction. Certain locations demand a closer look: every object, every document, every detail that does not belong. The most important clue in a room is rarely the most obvious one. Train your eye, because what you notice and what you miss will both shape the case.These are not puzzles to solve. They are moments where the case becomes physical and you will need to decide what to do with what you find. Your instincts as a reporter are the only tool you have, but some of those decisions cannot be undone.The City That Does Not Forgive
This is not the glamorous New York of the Roaring Twenties. This is the other side of 1927: cramped neighborhoods, cold streets, decaying buildings that never made it into the history books.Navigate the city from an interactive map, choose where to direct your investigation, and accept that you will not be able to go everywhere. Every decision about where to look is also a decision about what you are willing to leave in the dark.Key Features

A unique interactive novel-esc game. I first gotten this game via *The privateer method* and was so surprised by the quality of the game that by the second chapter of the game, I decided to support the dev and buy it. Omen Exitio: Hunger, provides a surprisingly well made audiophilic experience. Each scene has their own ambience background noise, and at times, even procure a specific sound that fits perfectly to the choices and actions that are being chosen by the player. The narrative is captivating and intense, not full horror mind you, but enough to keep you fully engaged with the plot. At times it does drag, but that could have been the outcome of a bad choice on my end. Simply because there's a wide variety of paths the story can go through. (As I haven't gotten 50% of achievements). It's not mind blowing, or something that you have never seen before. But it is exceptionally made. If you want a fun, lovecraftion-esc adventure, go ahead and get it.3 found this helpful
I stumbled upon the first game years ago, I think in a bundle, and was so hooked by it I finished it in one sitting. I'm almost done with Act 2 here (I think?) and the story is very compelling. It doesn't screw around and give you tons of flowery dialogue and endless rambling about scenery. Things pick up quickly and you instantly want to know more. It's SUPER DARK. It DOES NOT rely on that old stupid trope of hallucinations or "madness" or whatever, where things happen but OOOPS JUST KIDDING IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. That garbage is such a gd waste of time and I am so thankful this game doesn't go that route. This is a murder/mystery about some very ancient evil that existed long long ago, likely from an age before recorded history. I love it. Choices matter, at least in Act 1, and you'll not be able to do/experience everything in a single playthrough. Choices make sense and there isn't garbage where if you think you're doing the right thing, SURPRISE you're not. You know what I mean? Like in other games if you think you're making a nice gesture but it turns out your kindness is actually hated by the person you're being kind to (for no reason) so it locks you out of a dialogue tree.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I had such a fun time reading this story and seeing how my choices played out. Let me tell you, my ending was interesting which makes me curious how different it could have been with some of the other options selected. https://youtu.be/4QT80Yd9b9o
I adore this game. My first playthrough had me on the edge of my seat. It's quite a scary and disturbing game, but the kind of thing you just can't look away from lol! It's ridiculously creative and well-written, and the illustrations are beautiful albeit terrifying at times. I'm on my second playthrough now and the story is totally different so far since I've been making different choices. I'm thrilled by this! Can't wait to see how things go this time around!
