info.

Omori is a an indie roleplaying video game. It was released in 2020 by Omocat. It was originally a webcomic called Omoriboy and later became a community funded project.

The game itself follows Sunny and his alter ego Omori. You get to explore a fantastical world with many cute and scary foes as well as learning more about Omori existing in the first place.

Omori is available on steam, ps4, xbox, and nintendo switch. BUt if you don't have money, the story is worth watching a no commentary game play, (which is how i first experienced it :0 ).

The game has over 60 hours worth of content and plenty of engaging story and characters aside from the main plot.

LAstly, the game has themes of depression and suicide.

my opinion.

I didn't get to play this game until recently. But as mentioned, I watched the full thing through a no commentary gameplay on youtube. Since I grew up in a strict religious household, I had a lot of restrictions on what I was allowed to watch and play. Actually I wasn't allowed to play games at all. So my experience with games and movies was mainly through youtubers. That being said, I don't fully remember when I first watched it, but I still got the experience out of it.

I think I watched it around 2020-21. It was that time when we were all still quarentineing and everything started going to shit. Or it felt that way or whatever. For me, part of the reason the story hit me so hard was because I resonated with feeling stuck alone and escaping to imaginary worlds. I'm not going to say I was depressed or suicidal or anything like that, but I know I was really distracted in my own mind. I was able to completely leave my physical location and enter a pretty vivid world in my mind. I think I would do that as a response to shit happening in my family but I don't really know. I just know ignoring reality has given me a lot of problems.

Well I still love this game. I can't really relate anymore, but I am glad there is a piece of media that handles a gritty topic like this one. I'm glad there is a story that shows a character breaking out of their own mind through the simple action of opening one door and letting the rest happen. It's pretty realistic when it comes to that. Finding love in life again best comes if you simply start going out again. Haha those jokes about touching grass have a little point to them. It's all a bit hard.

When it comes to the artstyle and gameplay. I love it so much. I love all the little doodley characters all around headspace. I liked the music and boss battles and especially the horror. All the visuals are so striking and I'm so glad the game exists. Games like these don't happen often because they could never come out of the industry. We just have to hope that someone, me, or you, care enough about a story to pull it into existance despite all challenges.

That last section will always get me to tears. What really hits me aswell is seeing the official art. Imagining this story past pixels is so tragic.
