About Omen Exitio: Plague
Omen Exitio: Plague is a Lovecraftian adventure, inspired by the choose-your-own-adventure gamebooks of the 80s and 90s. You’ll play as a military doctor who has to investigate a disease that threatens to exterminate the entire human race -- and unexplainable, who knows if preternatural origins. A race against time and reason that will strain your sanity to its very limits -- and the survival of the whole world may depend on your decisions.
Zanzibar, 1896. You are Dr. Jake Huntington, recently enlisted in the army trying to forget the loss of your dear wife Helen. An ancient evil is about to overturn your life forever. Every hint you find seems to lead you to the same conclusion: there is a terrifying disease that threatens to exterminate the entire human race -- and its origins may not be entirely natural.
To understand what’s going on and try to stop it, you'll have to venture into the shadows that lurk in the confines of the human intellect, unraveling the intrigues, machinations, and subterfuges that try to veil the truth in darkness. But meanwhile, there’s always the same question, gnawing at the corners of your mind: is there really something supernatural in this mystery... or maybe you’re just going insane?
Many challenges, mysteries, friends, and enemies await you, Doctor. The time to face the unknown has come.
Your choices will determine how the story unfolds. There are multiple ways to overcome the different obstacles that you will face, and every decision will have its consequences -- for you and for the fate of the entire human race. You’ll be able to develop your character in countless ways through an RPG-like character sheet and how you interact with other characters and your surroundings, which will affect the different endings and possibilities. This story is entirely yours.
This original story (with more than 140,000 words), the 300+ hand-drawn images, and the new original tracks, all have been meticulously crafted in a way that will make you feel like you’re living a H.P. Lovecraft story. The unsettling mood of this Victorian London will keep you on the edge of your seat, shivering at horrors both real and imagined -- for your mind can conjure worse terrors than anything you could find in reality.
In Omen Exitio: Plague there are no right or wrong answers. All choices affect the story in different ways, and death is an only narrative-driven event -- you won’t get stuck in a defeat screen because you made a mistake. However, don’t forget that the destiny of the world is what it’s at stake here -- your choices might have worse consequences than death itself…
As an adventure with multiple choices and ways to develop the story and the character, you can play it several times and get to discover all the narratives, characters, endings and achievements.

[h3]Do you have guts to fight or will you succumb to madness ?[/h3] I really enjoyed reading/playing the two stories of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/668590/Omen_Exitio_Plague/]Omen Exitio: Plague[/url]. The main story has a rich and detailed narrative path, while the side story is the icing on the cake : short but intense, delving into a gore-filled Lovecraftian madness that really sealed the deal for me. Don’t expect to have an enormous impact on the story, but don’t underestimate the repercussions of your choices either. It’s actually much more complex, with a lot of different texts and routes revealed when you replay the game (which I found myself doing a lot while trying to get all the achievements). It has a nice old-school vibe, the music is fitting, and the traditional art (made by humans) is beautiful. So for me, it’s a thumbs up !2 found this helpful
Omen Exitio: Plague, developed by Tiny Bull Studios and published by 2P Games alongside the developer, is a narrative-focused interactive experience that draws heavily from the tradition of classic gamebooks while infusing it with elements of cosmic horror and light role-playing mechanics. Rather than functioning as a conventional video game with action-driven systems, it positions itself as a story-first journey where decisions shape both the narrative and the protagonist’s path, creating an experience that feels closer to an interactive novel than a typical adventure title. The story places players in the role of a military doctor confronting a mysterious and rapidly spreading plague during the late nineteenth century. What begins as a grounded medical investigation gradually unfolds into something far more unsettling, weaving themes of paranoia, existential dread, and the unknown into its narrative fabric. The writing leans into a slow, deliberate pace, allowing the tension to build over time as new revelations emerge. This gradual escalation is one of the game’s defining strengths, as it creates an atmosphere that feels oppressive and immersive, drawing players deeper into its…2 found this helpful
Great game!
I would recommend this game.
I purchased this game when it was on discount. Its a nice little story. Feels like a lot of passion and care when into the project. Keep in mind it is more of a story than a game, and you are on railroad tracks. If at some point you want your main character to say screw it and head to the pub well thats not going to happen. It is a little frustrating not really knowing mechanically how things work as I just maxed out medicine the whole way figuring that would get me out of most problems but would often fail other skill checks. The rewind feature for future playthroughs is nice so you aren't having to click through the whole game and it just fast forwards to where your other choices are so you can get most of the story in a quicker fashion. Yea would recommend if you like the setting its done well enough.
