Umbral Omen

Umbral Omen is a puzzle game about using clues, strategy and luck to work out which symbol belongs in each space of a grid. Your goal is to solve each puzzle in as few moves as possible, choosing whether to guess one symbol at a time for clear feedback or try several at once. You can focus on one symbol, such as Sun, or work on several, with advanced strategies to discover as you tackle different puzzles.

Puzzles and modes

Puzzles are randomly generated, with a different list of clues each time, and the game also includes hand-crafted puzzles and daily puzzles to compete in against friends. Optional speed puzzles add a time limit. In campaign mode, you unlock new modes and modifiers as you progress.

Modifiers and strategy

Modifiers change the rules and call for new or refined strategies. In Stacking, you can initially make guesses only on the bottom row, so you need to gather information through small, localized guesses. One-by-one restricts guesses to a single symbol until you have found all its locations in the grid, requiring you to gather information across a wider area while being unable to investigate several symbols at once.

Customisation

The game has a relaxing, cerebral atmosphere with themes of nature and the occult. You can unlock colour schemes to customise its appearance.
