Omori

This game is a brilliant depiction of mental illness and trauma; but do not ignore the warnings. This game is beautiful and wholesome and fun and nostalgic and creative, but dark nonetheless. If you're a fan of the silent hill series, earthbound, or Yume Nikki; there are tropes it shares across them all and it pulls all these dissonant tones together in a wonderfully paced, harmonious experience.

This game is quite good. It has a very good story with many twists and very engaging gameplay with the battle mechanics and unique emotions system. Do not ignore the warnings however, as they do come into play quite intensely. If you're okay with pixelated gore and depictions of characters dying and killing themselves, then go ahead and give this game a try!

This game damaged my mental state. It's the most emotionally impactful game I've ever played.

The gameplay is great. The battle system is fun. The Humprey section was awful, I just skipped that part with cheats.

BUT the lore and characters geniunely made me feel like I was a part of the friend group. I felt shared emotions with the characters, and the Mari's, Basil's, Hero's and Aubrey's lore (the game literally has 6 main characters and 4 of them just destroyed my heart) impacted the way I look at things. I now keep questioning life a lot, and I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. But it surely was an experience that I believe many others should have. It is definitely, without question a psychological horror game.

DO NOT GIVE UP ON THIS GAME BECAUSE THE BEGINNING SECTION IS BORING. THE GAME QUICKLY BECOMES DARK.

(open your sketchbook and look at the pages, look at stuff on your laptop and close it until a knife drops, it's on the left side of your room. Now you can open the stupid beginning door.)

I recently bought Omori for the switch and God am I happy I did. I'll start with the easier stuff. The graphics are very pretty and downright fantastic in some sections, however it's not going to blow you away or anything. The main use of the graphics is to enhance the storytelling of the game, which they do masterfully. On the other hand, the music not only enhances the storytelling of the game to an insane degree, but is also just amazing in its own right, likely the best (indie) ost since Cuphead three years before it. Just like the graphics, the gameplay is not going to blow you away with its completely unique and different battle system, but that doesn't mean it's not incredible(even more so than the graphics I think). It's classic turn based combat for the most part, but with fantastic rpg elements and a wonderful little "emotion gimmick" that gives the game its own spin on turn based rpg combat. When not in combat, you get to enjoy an amazingly rich world of cities, hotels, planets, whales, and more. Two of my favorite parts about exploring are how there are items to pick up everywhere, making all exploration worth it, as well as how each item has its own little unique description, giving the game so much personality and charm(a lot like undertale). Still, even with all this, I would probably only give the game an 8 or maybe an 8.5. What takes it up to an easy ten is the downright terrifying beauty of its storyline. It has easily one of the best storylines I've ever seen in a game, telling a story of loss, grief, guilt, depression, and memory. I don't want to spoil it but just know it's beautifully(and arguably perfectly) paced, written, directed, and drawn. If you have not given this one a go, I would highly recommend that you do; you will not regret it.

Wow, I've been waiting for this game for so long, and it was worth waiting for more than 5 years

This game has such an elaborate story, it has very good songs, and it also made me cry, and see things differently Characters are super charismatic and mature over time And the battle system is so good and interesting

I Love this game.
