Omen Exitio: Hunger

This is an absolutely great game. The story is more personal and focused compared to the first one. Absolutely play it, you will love it. Critiques - Didn't get all the achievements because I never figured out how to get fast forward to work, so didn't want to play through multiple times. There's also no easy quickload. You have to quit to the main menu and then load your save each time you want to try another dialogue option. Sometimes the game crashes when you make many saves and loads in a short period of time when you're trying to savescum through a conversation.

intense and engaging storyline, enjoyed a lot!!!

An excellent Lovecraftian interactive novel. True to the spirit and the lore of Lovecraft's stories while creating the atmosphere and weaving in true events from 1920's New York. A must for fans of the Cthulhu Mythos.

yes

Personalities of these characters seem to be no deeper than various kinds of stereotypes.

This is an interesting game, which creates a lively atmosphere, mainly due to the really detailed background noise, which really helps with immersion. The story is good too, standard Lovecraftian fare. The one thing I would say is that it misses a trick to be just a little more engaging - the clues and dramatis personae etc are all spelled out in lists, but some sort of 'corkboard' showing their connections would not only be visually entertaining, it would also help to elucidate the connections in this complex mystery. However I still recommend it as a visual novel - I'm not sure how much plot variation there is on replays, but I didn't spend loads on this so it feels good value.
