It should also be noted that the word “omicron,” the term being used for the latest variant of COVID-19, isn’t new to 2021. And in the hypothetical (and false) scenario that the pandemic was planned, we’re not sure how or why this ghoulishly evil scheme would start with the creation of a video game. Gates did not plan or predict the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve covered a number of other rumors making similar claims.

The rumor that Gates created a video game called “Omicron” is just the latest attempt by conspiracy theorists to make it seem as if the COVID-19 pandemic had been somehow artificially manufactured. People of Omicron and it's corrupt government are lulling you to sleep in order to control you better.” – David Bowie’s character Boz in video game. In December 2021, a clip of this virtual Bowie calling on the people of Omikron to “wake up” went viral: This video game was notable at the time because it featured musician David Bowie. While the game was available to play on Microsoft computers (and later on Sega’s Dreamcast console), neither Gates nor his company were involved in its creation. Omikron: The Nomad Soul was created by French developer Quantic Dream and published by Eidos Interactive. While there was a video game called Omikron: The Nomad Soul - not “Omicron” as stated above - it was not created by Microsoft or Gates. I believe this game is a must at least try for every Dreamcast owner.In December 2021, a rumor circulated on social media that former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates had created a video game in 1999 called Omikron: The Nomad Soul, about a demon pretending to be human to harvest souls.

It is closest you can get to Deus Ex on PS2 or KOTOR II on XBOX (I know, that`s hell of a stretch). Nevertheless it was so ahead of it`s time, and there are no games like this on Dreamcast. This is an exciting, but at the same time frustrating game at some of the moments.

Player is expecting to play an action RPG, but then is thrown to solve quite challenging puzzles. Some might would have liked one or two, but all three? I easily see people get put off by this game. It included fighting, shooter, puzzles elements. Second - as the topic starter mentioned it was way too ambitious for it`s own good. There were even rumours, that there was a 70% ready PS port of this game. Shenmue and maybe Urban Chaos.įor me there were two problems with this game.įirst - graphics, obviously. Big open world (little to no loading screens between areas) (!), exploration, tasks with multiple solutions, dark sci-fi setting, great lore. For it`s time it was a truly groundbreaking game. My favourite game on DC, probably after Shenmue II. The intro with Kay'l's apartment, seeing the city, and the Security HQ was so compelling.Īnyways this wasn't supposed to be a stream of consciousness so much as open the door to the topic of this game. I watched where David Bowie sings at a club early on in a walk through video, and didnt get there myself and seem to have progressed way past that since im half way through - how do I get the game to show me that? Part of me doesnt want to continue out of fatigue, part of me wants to see what happens for the second half but 'first hand' without watching videos of it. If they actually re-did this game and made the FPS and fighting mechanics somewhat decent, and the game more intuitive, they might have a cult hit on their hands that doesnt have glaring flaws. The FPS and brawler aspects are not well done, like at all, but there's something very atmospheric and esoteric about this one and it's an interesting concept to throw so many different genres together. Not really a fan of being forced to change protagonist, despite having the same 'soul' even it being the concept of the game.

Also, was nice to hold onto Kay'l as long as possible before being forced to switch to another character. I have to emulate this one: the controls are absolutely horrid, but re-mapping buttons like Dpad to Joystick for movement alleviates it partially and save states for emu. Text walkthrough much better and even then some confusion haha. I was following a Youtube walkthrough until it became apparent the guy didnt know what he was doing for large sections of it. I youtube'd just for David Bowie's speech since all the hub-bub about Omikron and the new variant name Omicron.Īnd now Im about half way through - heavily reliant on tutorials since a lot of the conditional things you have to do to progress have not been intuitive to me. I'd be terrified playing this as a kid from how sinister it is.

Full of blood, demonic stuff, sex, depravity, etc. Saying that this transcends playing the video game and the player is transferred into the protagonist and all that. From the first minute and even the title screen. Man all kinds of occult and demonic crap in this one.
