When I first read the title Alpha, Omega, I just kept scrolling because it sounded like a typical "be either an alpha or a sissy" kind of game to me. But nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, Alpha, Omega has some elements that don't exist in other AVN, or only very rarely. First, this AVN is extremely body positive. There are women here with extremely defined body proportions, some are a bit more on the chubby side, one is missing an eye and many have some other blemish. But they don't mind this supposed flaw and own it instead. That's real charming and I wish more developers would do that, both for their male and female protagonists.
Secondly, as in another very popular game, elements of eroticism and competitive sport are combined here. I think this creates a dynamic of its own that prevents the plot from drifting into pure pornography.
Some of the characters have the potential to become iconic because they are physically and characteristically unique. For me, it is inspiring to see people or fantasy figures who develop freely in their own individuality and become absorbed in it. Alpha, Omega has a lot of that to offer.
The drama comes across convincingly. For a good VN experience, I always need believable and lasting conflict and drama, preferably with characters who undergo a transformation in the process. So far, it looks like Alpha, Omega is delivering on that as well.
edit as of 2025: Some of the twists in this game are extremely well done. So this is a must-play for those who play games for the story but also enjoy the adult bits on the side. It has plenty of them but it's certainly not the game with the best erotic animations or longest sexual intercourses. The focus is clearly to tell a convincing story with lots of melodrama and unexpected surprises that you would expect from well-executed telenovelas.
