Welcome to Omens of Ruin, a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Fate tale. Here to fill the void fans of this spin-off franchise have been feeling since the last mainline entry over a decade ago, Omens is committed to telling a fresh narrative that has aged with its audience.

A new adventure begins in the world of Pokemon. A young girl finds herself in an unfamiliar land and an unfamiliar body. Tale as old as time, I guess.
