Omnicron: Shadar Logath?! (Something Else/Essay)
About a year ago, I somehow ended up finding a freeware (which simply means it's free) game on the internet by complete accident: Omnicron. It's a Role Playing Game (RPG), very simple in concept, yet it begins to show some very deep and meaningful (if extraneous to the very basic plot) undertones as it goes on. The game is also extremely long and a bit disjointed, but it's still interesting to play just to see the considerable depth and enchantment the creator has put into developing the parallel world which it takes place in - at one point there is a colossal insight into a variety of the paranormal phenomena present in the game, and frequently you stumble upon philosophers who offer equally detailed and impressive spiritual observations and postulations. None of this is apparent until you play further into it.
The reason why I mention this here is because after I played the game, I scoured the internet looking for mention of it and its creator, curious to see how popular it was. However, all I found was the poor soul who made it posting on random message boards, trying to get people to notice his game, and to no effect.
So out of respect for the creator, and in the hope that more people might enjoy the fruits of all his efforts in making it, I thought I'd mention it here. Here's the link to his site again, and I'll put it in my links section later as well. Please at least look at his site - it's just one page - and if you want, download the game.
It's just that he's obviously put so much effort into it, it really isn't fair for him to receive no credit.
