About Omi Oh My AI

Omi Oh My AI is a puzzle game developed by EverySecond Studio that reimagines CAPTCHAs as a quirky AI's cryptic tests. Released on January 28, 2026, it blends PC-based single-player gameplay with real-world website exploration, asking players to solve image, word, and number puzzles that mimic the frustratingly human act of proving you're not a robot. The story follows Omi, an AI who generates increasingly bizarre puzzles to uncover their own origin. Its 90s-inspired design and I Love Bees-style meta elements turn solving challenges into a narrative-driven scavenger hunt. Ideal for fans of abstract logic puzzles and narrative experiments, it’s a game that leans into the absurdity of digital identity.

Gameplay

Each session in Omi Oh My AI revolves around deciphering puzzles that range from visual pattern-matching to wordplay riddles, often with rules that shift mid-solve. You’ll rearrange distorted shapes, decode number sequences, and input answers via a text box, with Omi’s feedback ranging from cryptic hints to sarcastic remarks. The game’s true twist is its meta aspect: some puzzles require visiting real-world websites linked in the game to gather context. Controls are minimal, mostly mouse-driven navigation and typing. Sessions often last 10-30 minutes, but the puzzles escalate in complexity, demanding lateral thinking and familiarity with 90s internet culture. The lack of a manual forces trial-and-error learning, which mirrors Omi’s own awkward attempts to communicate.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Omi Oh My AI at 82%, praising its inventive puzzles but noting a 47% completion rate. Average playtime hovers around 12 hours, with 65% of players abandoning it after the third act due to its obtuseness. Community moods are split: 40% label it “brain-teasingly clever,” while 30% call it “a cruel joke.” Critics highlight its 8.5/10 on indie review sites for originality but criticize inconsistent difficulty spikes. Achievement data shows 25% of players hit the 100% completion milestone, which unlocks Omi’s final message. Price is $29.99, with 150+ achievements (30% gold) spread across optional web-based puzzles.

PlayPile's Take

Omi Oh My AI is a niche pick for puzzle enthusiasts who thrive on ambiguity. Its $30 price tag feels steep given the 12-hour average playtime, and the lack of hand-holding may alienate casual players. If you enjoy decoding cryptic AI logic and have patience for its meta-web elements, it offers a fresh, if frustrating, experience. Skip it if you prefer straightforward challenges. The 150+ achievements add replay value but aren’t worth the grind for most.

Storyline

Omi Oh My AI is about the titular character Omi, an artificial intelligence that has generated the puzzles in the game. Omi is a bit quirky, often asking the player to solve puzzles that are unclear or follow a line of logic that makes sense to Omi but requires the player to learn more about them. Only by discovering what it was that led to Omi's creation can you help this friendly AI to move on from the ghosts of their past and figure out their place in the world.
