This game may seem flawless in every way but there are a few things that just aren't meant to happen, were missed or maybe put there for entertainment. I'm on a quest to find every last one and if you would like to help, please do. Anyways, let's begin:
SPELLING/GRAMMA MISTAKES There aren't too many of these but I have noticed a few of them in the books. The ones that I have found are "Taar Fight Techniquees". Obviously they upsized a word in there. Another one is the Omikron Laws books. One of them is called "Omikronian Laws Volume - 88" and another "Omikron Laws - Vol 91". I'm not sure about you but I'd think they'd keep the format the same.
GAME FREEZE (PC) Apparently if you got to Hamastag'n and aim straight down at the dogs at the start, the game will freeze. I admit that this happened to me once but I got an e-mail from someone telling me that it happened to them too. Otherwise, I'm not too sure.
STUFF UPS In the game, it is possible to get in situations where you cannot progress anymore. One is at the very start. If you got to the temple in Qalisar and get the Reincarnation spell and use it on someone. You won't be able to get into many placed in security HQ like Captain Lea's Office. If you do this before you go to your apartment, you can see the scene with Telis when you are someone completely different (even another female).
The second situation is easier to get in and is a real bugger if it does happen. In Xendar's temple (Jaunpur awakend base) you will find the Vyagrimukha jewel there. If you don't get it before you get into Lahoreh, the Jaunpur awakend base will lock up with the jewel still inside. Just pray you have an extra save file before Lahoreh.
STUPID LITTLE THINGS For example, when you have to blow up the bridge in Jaunpur. If you dive into the water where the bridge collapses, you still survive. It seems that in Omikron, you are only effected by explosion, firearms and hand to hand combat. It seems that getting crushed by a 10 ton bridge while you're underwater is as painful as a slight breeze tickling your nose.
You may also notice that in numerous parts throughout the game, things happen that aren't meant to like the first Azkeel you see that is supposedly leaning on the wall is, in fact, a foot away from the wall and is leaning on absolutely nothing. One thing that has happened to me a few times is that people start spinning and doing backflips while they're talking to me. It's probably just because my CDs scratched but it's very rude to be doing a handstand and facing the other way while your talking to someone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
############################################
Q - Where's the sorcery shop? A - There are 2 in the entire game, one in Anekbah and the other in Lahoreh. The one in Anekbah is the easiest to find. Go to the police HQ and you'll see that you're on a T intersection (the HQ being at the top of the T). To the left of the T is a supermarket. Next to the that is an alley (not the road) that goes down to a tall tower-looking structure. That is the sorcery (take note that you can only enter it once you have reached a certain point in the game. The Lohoreh one can be found by locating a catwalk around the center of the district. The catwalk seems unstable and the man at the counter should be familiar.
Q - Why is it that when I go to see Fuan with Den's sneak, I can't offer to give it to him? A - Go into your inventory and use the item when you are in front of him. This should work.
Q - Is there an easier way to travel other than the sliders? A - What more do you want? The sliders take you straight to the place. If you're still having trouble finding your way to a specific location, there is a map in your sneak that works ONLY outside in the districs Anekbah, Qalisar, Jaunpar and Lahoreh. It should be a lot easier to navigate that way if you're on foot.
Q - There's a door to another district in Lahoreh. How do I open it? A - You can't. Simple. It's there to simply show you that there is much more to Omikron than what you have seen (...sequal?) or it might be there to make you play longer and try to find a way open. But I strongly doubt it's possible. By the way, the district is called "Nagataneh" if anyone's interested.
Q - There are many spells in books you haven't mentioned. A - Not a question but... those spells are impossible to make as you can't find those ingredients and even if you did, what would you use them on? Honestly, if you used the love spell on someone, 9 times out of 10 says they'll be a demon or worse... a relative!
Q - What are transcans? A - Transcans are the equivalent to our television and dvd/vcr. Use the action button on it to watch a few channels. At one point of the game, you get a "Transcan Cassette". All you have to do is use the cassette on the transcan.
Q - Can I get other cassettes? A - Yes, but they are not video footage but instead, some more great David Bowie. Here is a list of them: New Angels of... 90 Dreamers 90 Seven 90 Survive 100 We All Go Through 100 Something 110 Thursday's Child 110 Pretty Things 120 The numbers next to them are the prices they are from numerous bookstores.
Q - Where can I get a copy of this game? A - Don't expect to find this at a shop. Ebay would be your best bet and you wouldn't regret it.
Q - There's a rumor going around that there's a sequel. Is this true? A - Indeed there is! It is going to be called something like Omikron 2: Karma apparently. I don't know too much but it's going to released for the PS3 and currently has next to no information about it given out. Just don't go crying if it is never released. Go to the GameFAQs message board if you want some more information (if there is any).
Q - How long should it take to beat this game? A - It's not a super lengthy game but it is at least 20 hours.
Q - I have ran out of magic ring, is there a place I can buy them? A - No, but honestly, why would you? Throughout the game there are countless amounts of them. My tip: only use them when you are leaving the computer but do this before you finish Den's apartment. Why? Because its impossible to die. I honestly don't see how you can run out as I finish the game with way over 50+.
Q - Where can I get easy money from? A - Selling items from your terminal is always the best place to start or reincarnate into someone and raid their apartment/items. But the best one is to do the tournament in Qalisar. See the side quests section for details.
Q - Is it possible to stay as Kay'l for the entire game? A - I highly doubt it. The furthest I believe it is possible to get is right before entering Jaunpar. Besides, there are numerous people you NEED to be throughout the game to bypass the objectives.
Q - What's all those numbers at the bottom of the sneak? A - That's the Omikronian time! It looks a little like this: 41 Andar 7216. The 41 is the day, Andar is the name of the month and 7216 is the year (or "cycles" as the call it on the game). There are a lot of different months like Nadim and Xenep. You may also notice that these times are found on newspapers to establish when they were released.
Q - How do you play Smoke on the Water? A - And to think I actually got an e-mail asking this! Well... you asked for it: E G A E G A# A E G A G E Some people really make me wonder what our future generations are going to be like.
