Loved this game as a kid, and still do. It's a little clunky controls-wise but the universe, story, atmosphere and soundtrack are phenomenal.
Might wanna throw this in just in case the store wants to still charge you or if you don't wanna read articles. Type in the Promo Code : [B]Omikron[/B] . If the store doesn't reconise the deal.

:cry:
I might actually buy it though. Looks like my type of game.

Or maybe someone get a key for me? :smug:
Bought it on gog last year, it's one of those esoteric early 00s games that are totally original and off the wall. Only indie games today do stuff like this anymore. Big devs tend to shy away from going outside the box.
Interesting game. Saw a stream of it a few days ago.
It does a lot of different things, and looks quite good for its time ([URL="http://i.imgur.com/Tn8U7XO.png"]except for maybe the faces[/URL]).
Got the game, but does the Steam release of the game have native widescreen support?
Oh god, this game is one of the most notoriously hard to get to run on modern systems and it really doesn't like ATI drivers. The GOG version has some better support but the steam version has absolutely nothing to help it run
Square Enix's store servers still shitting themselves, they were not ready for this.
This is before David Cage decided he was a movie director.
Looks like something I'd be interested in. I got it, I just hope that between my bouts of depression and new electrician job I get time to play it. Still haven't been able to play Half-Life 2: Update and I have an almost finished contract in TF2.

Man I have so many games in my steam library that I haven't played once and many that I played just once. Why do I find games so interesting, yet don't manage to play most of them through?

I don;t count it during the 2000 era because it was out in 99. If it came out a year later I think it look slightly different.

Why do you have to put a shipping address in for a digital item? Making up fake details is such a pain.
[editline]18th January 2016[/editline]
And the place order button does nothing.

These systems now usually check to see if it is a Valid Address...
Used to absolutely love this game; tried to track it down on disc for the majority of my childhood 'till I was about 15.
It tried to be an FPS puzzle adventure whodunnit, it was definitely far ahead of it's time - still a lovely story that [sp] the game was actually placed into our world by a demon called Astaroth, and the game was a portal from our world to theirs, so astaroth could steal your soul and grow powerful enough to conquer the entirety of Omikron and other worlds [/sp]
Holy shit, I played the demo of this when I was like 8, and I've been trying to find the name of it ever since
I have a copy of this somewhere but I fucking sucked at this game or it bugged out on me or both. I remember getting completely stuck on some part early game and reading up walkthroughs didn't seem to help me at all.

All of my issues were fixable via the tips on the PCGamingWiki page

What problems could happen? So far the game is running fine for me, though I just got to [sp]Kay'l's office in the Security HQ.[/sp]
Can someone help me to get it? It says I'm outside of Serviced Countries.

I tried to get another key, but they only let you use the promo code once.

I got that too as my account was listed as from the US; just set your profile and billing address to a supported country (Sweden works).
