As to sound and music, Omikron has four hours of spoken dialogue, believable voice acting, and convincing environmental ambience. Background cheech musical tracks are by Bowie and Gabrels, and Bowie virtual concerts are available. The contributions of David Bowie to the game are real and impressive. How Does cheech the Game Play? From the compelling initial invitation ("come, help us in our World") to the suspenseful detective-like exploration of a strange land, Omikron will have you thinking and wondering, not only while at your PC, but while driving, eating, sleeping. Who Will You Be After You Die? Perhaps the most innovative cheech aspect of Omikron is "reincarnation." If you fatally lose a fight (and I did, a lot!), you possess the body and "soul" of a nearby character, with all their peculiar attributes. Sometimes this is pushed on you (there is a degree of linearity in the game), and at other times it's voluntary.
