    The best narrative experience in a video-game. Get **** 'The last of us' this has much more depth is a much more rewarding character study. Genuinely quite morbid and actually vvvv sad. It has an incredible more dilema at it's core that is quite soul-shattering.

    This game is a true masterpiece, everything on it is beautiful... the art, the music, the history, the characters, an so on; I've never been so emotionally devastated in my life than at the end of this game. Clearly, not everyone would like it so much, but if you can play, just do it, probably will be a great experience, maybe even the best in a videogame.

    An awesome, surreal experience with a unique art-style and an incredible OST. OMORI is an underrated game which undeniably deserves more attention. It captures the themes of anxiety and depression well with a gripping storyline and painful truth that delivers a powerful adventure.

    Wonderful music, environments, exploration, characters, fun combat and a well paced story that has horror elements tied perfectly into the otherwise whimsical tone of the game. Not to mention the sheer volume of stuff this game has in it. Even after my 35 hour playthrough there was a lot that I did not see. Absolutely worth the low price tag.

    One of the greatest games for me. I'll never forget this "dreamland" bright art-style and the story. Gameplay is just fine, not the best one though. This game is not about the combat - it is about the feelings and atmosphere. What a shame that this game is not that popular, it absolutely deserves more attention.

    Extremely powerful story rich game that almost made me tear up. You'll have to play it yourself in order to see the story. I played it blind, best experience of my life, other than the severe depression I got.
    Also Aubrey is the best character.

The twist at the end and the slowburn of discovering new pieces of information was phenomenal. The gameplay is a bit easy at the start but you’ll (maybe) find yourself struggling with the final bosses or if you go for the Omori or “Another” route, you really need to grind for that. For me playing this game was a very unique and heartbreaking experience, please give this game a chance.… Expand

    Everything about this game, from the impeccable OST to the heart-breaking story, is perfect. Even though the game has themes of grief and guilt, the game still manages to have some light-hearted moments between all the seriousness. Plus, there are literally pancake bunnies, a racist donut, a wise rock, and Humphrey the Whale. What more could you ask for?

    If you like games like Earthbound and Undertale, this game is very similar to them, but has a bit more psychological horror. The art is really pleasant to look at and the combat is fun. Highly recommend you play this.

    20 hour psychological horror RPG with not only an amazing and unique story that DOESN'T feel like an undertale or DDLC clone but feels completely like it's own thing and also has satisfying turn based combat?! Please buy this game.

    OMORI is like Earthbound if it went through mental trauma and became a reclusive shut-in.

    This game's main gimmick is using emotional states to counter attacks in a RPS-style system. Sad beats Happy, Happy beats Angry and Angry beats Sad. There are also combo attacks in the game too.

    Where OMORI shines the most is in its story. Like with Undertale, I would strongly advise that you avoid any spoilers or Let's Plays of the game until you played it completely. It's a game that has to be experienced.    … Expand

    Not only is OMORI a masterclass in storytelling, with the themes of depression and loneliness being interwoven perfectly into the story and characters, but the spin on typical RPG combat with the emotion system changes OMORI from an amazing indie to quite possibly one of the deepest, complex, and best games of all time.

There was so much content put in here for an RPG Maker game. You can tell it was a passion project. The only thing I found negative was the lack of NG+ replayability, like text skipping not being a thing, or cutscene skipping, or no option for low-level enemies being skippable like they are in Earthbound. These are fairly minor though and don't really apply to the first playthrough.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an amazing experience to anyone playing this game because of its beautiful soundtrack, insane content and old but still being attractive enough gameplay and combat system (the skills, toys, emotions, ...)

    The graphics is also an addition to this game, firstly it tricks us with White Space, a beautiful imagination world with OMORI's friend and cute mobs and peaceful layout. The story gets darker when we get back to Faraway (The world where Sunny lives) and sees nightmare thourgh Sunny's eyes, then goes back to White Space once again so we know White Space is just an imagination world, we start travelling bc most of the time we get in White Space and then goes back the the Faraway, with some detail so we know Sunny's going to move away and many things happen with real Kel, Aubrey, Hero, Basil and most importantly: Mari is dead.
    We keep adventuring until we get to Black Space, a corrupted place with many creepy monster and then the ending, brutal but perfect.
    So the upsides of OMORI is:
    + Good layout, soundtrack
    + Intense storyline, reflects many people nowadays who scroll them inside just because of a lifetime mistake so they can actually know that mistakes will never be forgotten, but we have to face up to it and head to the future
    + The fact that it has many hidden secrets and achievements so its the motivation to play this game again
    + How they arrange the "OMORI" with the sentence: OMORI did not succumb, helping us with a second chance to fight the monster while against us at the end.
    Downsides:
    + Shortage of save slots, which makes the game intensively annoying to play again if you are a secret/achievement hunter.
    +This game is too long and the storyline is low speed so its boring for the people aged 11-14 (the age group usually has the habit to like something fast but still fun and attractive) and the map is too big that makes finding KEY hard and pitful.
    Anyway, this game is still amazing so that you will think about it for a week after finishing the game. A masterpiece at some point tho.    … Expand

    While I have been lucky enough to not lose a loved one to tragedy, Omori still managed to make me feel the despair of losing someone cherished, and the powerless feeling of being able to do nothing to bring them back was replicated perfectly. The game tackles the idea of acceptance and escapism beautifully, and when the credits rolled, I did not move for a while. It is one of those persistent games that follows players even after putting the controller down. I think about it more than I expected to; it creeps in at night before I sleep, and whenever I come across a screenshot or hear the name, something in me just recalls the weight of it immediately. People process loss in completely different ways and at completely different speeds, and Omori never pretends otherwise. What makes it so remarkable is that it does not ask players to have lived through something specific to feel it. It just asks for attention. And with attention, Omori will find something in players to pull on regardless of what their lives look like.

    Omori is certainly not for everyone. Someone who values gameplay much higher than storytelling will come away feeling bored and frustrated with the overall experience. However, those who value a game's plot and the emotions that games can elicit will never be able to shake Omori from their headspace. It is a flawed game in many aspects, but I can't help thinking about it throughout my daily life (especially while opening up the spice cabinet), even having finished the game over a month ago. While the entire middle of the game can be frustrating due to its poor design, the third act is well worth everything that comes before it. In the end, everything else faded away, and it all felt worth it.

    Having played through OMORI, I’m confident say that it’s an experience I won’t forget. This is a game I wholeheartedly recommend for those that appreciate a good story. With a strong emphasis on catharsis, it has a lot up its sleeves. The cutesy and colorful presentation hides a grim reality and it hits hard. Highly recommended, OMORI is a gem of a game that definitely deserves recognition.
