Omori Review - Noisy Pixel

[@joshuabradley6110]

No other game has made me feel such deep, existential dread like this game did. It's a masterpiece, but it's absolutely NOT for everyone. You need to take those trigger warnings very seriously and know that you are stepping into something darker than you can imagine.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Agreed

[@victori4butter]

bro, just watch bojack horseman lol

[@captainnemo607]

Imagine children play and thought this game is for kid

[@Sunny-ji4hk]

Fr. I ignored the trigger warnings and I had to take so many fucking breaks, I started playing this game the day it was released and finished it only today. Although, the experience was really worth it. 10/10 would have a mental breakdown again.

[@davinsaputraartandgamedev9453]

@@victori4butter the dread I felt during this game is similar to what I felt during Free Churros episode imo. But on a much more personal level. I could easily relate to a 16 year old, but I guess I can't really relate that much to alcoholism, shitty work, and more mature topic covered in Bojack.

I've had my eye on this for years now! So glad it lived up to the hype

Yes! If you get it let us know what you think

[@hiroparadise8152]

not to be a dick or anything, but the constant delays killed pretty much all of the hype,and this is coming from someone who loved this game, I thought it would never come out and now that it's here i really wish it was way more popular

Wow the art style is so flipping good. I just can't get over how good it looks !

Every stroke was just so stylish and lovely colourwork on the pixels... I think the artist was 14 during the KS campaign, if so they have a great future in games ahead of them if they want it.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Same

[@wuskevo]

My heart cried seeing the good ending duet part and all those moments when a character cries and everyone else cheers them up always makes me cry inside... The only thing I less like is the sometimes too slow paced parts like when your in the dreamworld. The fights in the dreamworld get very tedious to watch while the real world feels more faster and more progressive. If it took a bit less time and a bit more fast paced i would give it a 10/10

[@starshrooomz]

many of my friends are praising this game and i really want to look into it, but i’m personally not good at handling heavy themes such as these due to personal issues. i feel like it might impact me negatively, but i also want to see how these themes are depicted in the game.

[@Arb71703]

Theres definitely some very heavy hitting themes, if you think it may be too much for you to handle thats alright. I think the way that the game handles these themes is quite tastefully done and it never really feels forced. Life changing game for me, i think you should give it a shot.

[@epic-gamer57]

it sucks lol

[@GatoEpico]

i already 100% the game and even kinda speedrunned it to get the final 2 archivements lefts some time ago. Waite 6 years for it but due to the hype i expected to be dissapointed with the game as "it not gonna be what i wanted" , boy was i wrong , the game is a blast , never i had a experience like that before. things to get into account: -go into the game blind -learn about the emotion system fast to win fights without having to wait 10 turns for "release energy" . -the game last for 20hr but since there are different routes it can go into 40hr , i had to go 90hr because of the archivements since i made mistakes a few times. -there are a few softlocks but most of them are in the "post game" eske part of the game.

[@letsdaze1168]

I cried so hard at the ending

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Me too

[@patdehaan2959]

Heyo!I just want to know if this game is kind of a horror game, It seems like something I would love but I can easily get stuck at points in games because of fear, so if there's any disturbing imagery or jumpscares, please let me know

[@NoisyPixelNews]

It’s more like psychological scary but no jump scares

[@catcactus1234]

Yes, it’s listed as a psychological horror RPG. And yes, there’s also jump scares (albeit a small amount and some of them require specific action to trigger them). It’s not immediately terrifying, but the game becomes more fear-inducing the longer you play it. It doesn’t rely on jump scares or gore, but it does an excellent job of slowly building an uncomfortable atmosphere to the point where you become incredibly paranoid and terrified of your surroundings. And the content itself is incredibly dark and depressing, so you should take that into consideration. After I finished the game, I was left with an incredibly uncomfortable and empty feeling due to the twists and revelations (but it was still an amazing journey none the less.) If you can’t stomach things like suicide, murder, depression, severe anxiety, or disturbing imagery in a game (there is a specific plot point that relies on imagery of a hanged girl), then you probably shouldn’t play it. But if you can deal with it, I highly recommend checking it out.

[@augstuffie8609]

I haven't really finished the game but I've played a good 9 hours of it and, yea, it's got plenty of horror elements even if horror isn't what omori focuses on (more rpg if anything) And sure, it doesn't have any REAL jumpscares (just quick flashes of a certain monster that pops up every now and again), the more you play omori, the scarier it will get.

[@joshuabradley6110]

Yes, this is a horror game. It's not all blood and gore, but it is quite possibly the most effective psychological horror game ever made. It excels more than any other game at putting you in the shoes of the protagonist. You will bond with them, you will BE them. But that also means you will feel what the main character is feeling, especially near the end. You will know what the main character knows. That in itself is horrifying.

[@amebellon945]

Honestly I'm not sure, I think it would be better to watch a let's play so you can skip certain parts and come back to them later? Certain scenes are pretty choking and raw, definitely triggering in some aspects! I deeply hope things will get better for you and that, one day, you'll be able to play that game since you've been looking for it for a long time! Best wishes, good luck and a lovely day to you my friend! ✨ Hope my comment helped a bit! (Sorry if my english is a bit broken I'm not fluent :0!! )

​@@RinRan1 Dark games can also be healing. Just make sure you have someone you can talk to if a game would put you in a bad space. And don't play this one, Omori, if you have suicidal thoughts. But anything else, it can also give you great comfort working through a gave that also has a bit 'life' in it.

[@fireempire7342]

Huh, so it has an emotion mechannic sort of like the JoJo SNES game.

[@tenthirtyseven-v1]

It's a pity the characters and world are so visually boring, not to mention it's uninteresting story topics (depression again? really?) because it "seems" like an interesting game, but I'd rather just replay it's inspirations.

[@known_questionmark]

its, not really about depression though. while that part is there, its more of about guilt and how it affects a person, and what i see to be a really real one too. Thats why i love the story so much

[@catcactus1234]

I get if you might not be into the kinda repetitive dialogue in the first portion of the game, but how on earth are the characters and world visually unappealing? The hand-drawn animation and pastel colored world absolutely creates some stunning visuals. And no, the game does not just rely on “depression” as it’s only theme. In fact, it mainly focuses on the severe impact of trauma and the guilt associated with it. Omori is not necessarily depressed, he’s severely traumatized and mentally unstable throughout the game. Perhaps you just played the first hour of the game and put it down? I highly recommend at least completing it once to get the full experience.

[@tenthirtyseven-v1]

@@catcactus1234 It's just not my style I guess, pastel colours have never really done it for me and to my eyes the characters look like "my first anime character" drawn with a scratchy pen tool and nothing else. The battles look nice, I'll give it that, but I just see Off with a coat of paint for the most part.
