Omikron: The Nomad Soul is a futuristic 3D-action adventure like no other. Combining a deep game plot with adventure, exploration, action, combat and role-playing elements, the Omikron experience will captivate you from the moment you turn on your computer. At the beginning of the Omikron experience, your soul is projected into the Omikron universe, in a body that you do not know - and for a reason that you cannot begin to fathom...

From that point on, you will have to talk, investigate, drive, shoot, ride and explore your way to the inevitable conclusion of the game - deliverance from this strange dimension.
