Responding to the desperate pleas of a mysterious character from another dimension, your soul must enter the dark and futuristic city of Omikron. This is but the beginning of an epic adventure through an increasingly strange and dazzling parallel world. You must solve the ultimate mystery: why are you in Omikron and how can you get out? Think, fight, and interact with awe-inspiring environments to defeat the menacing demons that are trying to stop you. Experience the life in an alternate reality with everything it has to offer--including the secret musical performances by The Dreamers, a band of rebels led by the Omikronian incarnation of David Bowie.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
saving is only possible at certain places and using rings you have to collect first (I used a save editor to give myself a ton, come on). beat'em up sections are terrible, 1st-person shooter sections are even worse.
and yet the 3rd-person exploration, possessing civilians to make progress (you might need a certain profession or skill to do or access something), attending david bowie concerts and the whole atmosphere is great.
I first played this game when it was first released and loved it despite some control difficulties. However on a newer computer it is virtually impossible to play enjoyably. I lose every shooting scene as it is impossible to aim. I am now at the bridge scene and have given up after 50 attempts to shoot my way through. My cursor will not go anywhere near the enemy and it is a joke.
Surely there is some way to fix this.
"Omikron the nomad soul" is one of my favorite games. When I was a kid back in 1999, this game impressed me so much that I dreamed I was in the city of "Omikron" I love the city and its vibe. Beautiful game!
This game holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I played it extensively when it first released in 1999 and into the early 2000s. At the time it was groundbreaking: a vast open world with complex, interwoven narratives, genre-blending gameplay, and an atmosphere unlike anything else. Released before GTA III, its 3D open-world experience was unmatched for its era.
Of course, time hasn’t been kind. The graphics, once jaw-dropping, now feel dated, and the gameplay suffers from trying to be a jack of all trades: part adventure game, part fighter, part shooter. Still, its ambition and unique style make it worth experiencing if you’re interested in gaming history.
On the technical side, I did encounter a game-breaking bug in the GOG version (during the factory mission). Thankfully, I found a workaround on the Steam Community forums: hug the wall and jump across the crates to avoid the insta-kill bug. Keep that in mind if you get stuck.
What still stands out today is the storyline: a mix of dystopian rebellion and 4th-wall-breaking concepts that was way ahead of its time. The body-switching mechanic also adds a dynamic (and slightly unsettling) twist, something it shared with Messiah around the same era.
Overall, The Nomad Soul is a flawed classic: dated, yet still fascinating. It really deserves a proper modern remake or remaster. If I had the time, I’d attempt one myself
