THE OMEGA REACH
Reach for the stars
Gather their instruments and curate the best collection in the universe!
As the curator for The Omega Conservatory, you are entrusted with its eponymous reach: a telescopic hand that extends into the past. With it, you examine distant galaxies, stars, planets, and moons in search for instruments to add to your collection. Once recovered and fully appraised, you may play them freely in your gallery, or trade them for whatever the shopkeeper is offering.
THE OMEGA REACH is best experienced with a gamepad and headphones—but a keyboard (or mouse) works great too! Please reference the online manual for system requirements, controls, and gameplay tips.

I took a second quick look in this weekend's 5 games episode :)
the game is very confusing but its an alright game.
Gameplay and the slightest hint of critique ;)
One of the most incredible experiences I’ve had on Itch! This is what synths are all about. :)
