A title at the crossroads of genres, Omensight is an action mystery game. The logic of going back to the beginning of a day – not unlike Groundhog Day – allows for the development of a relatively complex story and the construction of a microcosm in a rather elegant way: the world seems very much alive with the successful dubbing of the characters; thus, we find Patricia Summersett for Draga, who already gave her voice to the Zelda of Breath of the Wild. If the construction of the universe is rather pleasant, it's in the gameplay that the problem lies. Not that it's bad, insofar as the battles remain dynamic and essentially focused on the player's quick reaction. But the lack of diversity in the skills makes you feel a little tired at the end of the adventure, where you prefer to follow the story rather than do the same fights over and over. In particular, the fact that the enemies' guard is not necessarily easy to break can lead to a certain frustration. But the title has the merit of not extending its adventure too long: ten hours or so will be enough to get through all the secrets and that's the perfect length for this somewhat charming experience.
