October 31, 2024 — London, UK — Embark on a sinister journey into the murky depths of the Red Lake with OMUT, a devilish game by developer Madame Cyclone and publisher Megabit. Inspired by Slavic folklore and absurdist literature, OMUT delivers a uniquely harrowing adventure that skillfully blends art house aesthetics with a bone-chilling narrative.

More than just a game, OMUT is an experience—an obsession, a dream, an ephemeral hope, a hallucination, a whirlpool, and a nightmare. Players embark on an unsettling quest to find a red-haired woman from their dreams, guided by a sarcastic skeletal companion, as they face meticulously designed, nightmarish bosses. Each encounter requires unique strategies, ensuring that every battle feels fresh and distinct.

OMUT is a challenging journey, demanding skill,cunning, and an iron will. Offering an immersive, hardcore experience that lingers long after the screen fades.
