The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the mechanics lackluster and unbalanced, leading to a generally uninspiring experience. While some appreciated the user-friendly interface and potential for engaging interactions, others felt it fell short compared to similar games like Uplink, resulting in a limited gameplay loop and minimal replay value. Overall, the game offers a few enjoyable moments but struggles to maintain player interest over time.
- “I quite enjoyed playing Omnipresent; I had the chance to play it for two hours and definitely plan to play more now that I got used to its mechanics.”
- “What I really liked about the game was that although it was representing the world from an AI's perspective, it has a user interface that one can easily adjust to, so one does not get lost in all the code you would assume to be in AI mechanics.”
- “I only got 5 hours of gameplay out of this game, and I could maybe squeeze another 2-3 hours out of it to make some changes in my decisions, which I guess changes the story and the outcome.”
- “The gameplay loop is pretty meh and the UI is clunky.”
- “The map moving mechanic is a little irritating.”
- “Not all of the game's problems are the result of bugs; many of the mechanics for the game are lackluster, make little sense, or are unbalanced.”

The game's story is described as linear yet engaging, with a well-developed plot that allows for some player freedom in completing tasks. However, players may find themselves "lost" in the quest line due to unclear mechanics and scripted missions, which can detract from the overall experience. While the narrative is interesting, the execution can feel clunky, particularly with frustrating email interactions.
- “The plot itself is pretty linear but you have a decent amount of freedom to accomplish many of the individual tasks, even if the game doesn't always make some of the concepts involved very clear.”
- “Storyline is outstanding, well developed and catchy; while playing, you get lost while trying to own the world!”
- “At first, it seemed like another game called Endgame: Singularity (not on Steam), but it's more like its opposite - there's a lot less numbers and leveling and an actual plot in this one.”
- “The problem with it is that it is possible to 'get lost' in the quest line if you delete the wrong email or destroy the wrong government or crime syndicate.”
- “The plot itself is pretty linear, but you have a decent amount of freedom to accomplish many of the individual tasks, even if the game doesn't always make some of the concepts involved very clear.”
