Why you should play Omori (spoiler free)

[@TheLuNaMaStEr]

I feel like I've deleted a million comments in regards to people either wanting to find free copies of the game or looking to torrent it. The making of this game and everything brilliant within it, is the result of hard honest work. Hard honest work that requires payment as compensation, because that's the way the world works. This game is not the work of a huge studio. There is not investors who take the hit rather than the developer. If you play this game for free, then you are actively stealing from the person who worked so hard to bring you a beautiful piece of art. I personally think you have no right to play and enjoy it if that is your attitude.

[@Pillowfo]

Honest words. i think that when sombody gets something like a game or a Book for „free” that is a beautifull your stealing it You did not pay for it but the guy/guys put all the work into something like that only to get absolutly nothing

Why pirate it when the price is fair and the content is rewarding? Steam has achievements too. Get your copy during the summer sale now. $11.99 is a steal in itself.

I wish the game would blow up like Undertale 😭. It's so so good. I want an influencer to stream it so Omori can become mainstream. Awesome video, I think I can convince my friends with this. It made me feel so many emotions, I laughed, I cried, music made me feel in my feels. The themes the game stand for really resonate with me. Spoiler comment: So, my sister is actually named Mari.

@@TheLuNaMaStEr The story in this game is just great, theres so much extra content to find aswell as dark secrets about the charecters you can uncover, the game also does a fantastic job of using symbolism and then repeating themes to give them meaning in context of content prior. The story really makes you care about the cast and what they are going through and the games depiction of mental health is actually incredibly accurate. This game also send me into a downward spiral that im still stuck in, as i have been dealing with alot of the games themes in my own life. Ive made the mistake before of playing a game that has a mental health warning at the start wich created trouble aswell. Maybe i should learn to stay away from games with such warnings.

[SPOILER FREE THOUGHTS/REVIEW ON OMORI] bro i swear to god people be sleeping on omori, it really isnt getting the attention it deserves. I get that its a semi-popular game but *damn* its still underrated considering how good the art-style, ost and story of the game is, and thats still not mentioning all the little details that make the game feel so much more alive, and all the ways omori immerses you in its world and story, genuinely making you sympathize with every character, which makes the ending(s) of the game so much more powerful, emotional and satisfying than any other video game i’ve played so far. I really cannot recommend it enough to people that haven’t experienced this masterpiece, avoid spoilers at all costs, and enjoy it at its fullest.

Oh, Omori is just something else, even after a year I feel like OMORI is the best game I've ever played and I still feel emotions similar to what I felt a year ago, when I listen to music from OMORI or watch videos related to it. I'd really like to play it and a few other games in 5 years in order to experience it all again and see the difference between my perceptions of it then and before. There are games, movies, books, stories in general that hold a special place in our hearts, make us experience many different emotions and give us the opportunity to experience something we would never have experienced. And I'm thankful to OMORI for being one of those stories.

[@TheLuNaMaStEr]

It truly is! I also like to wait about 5 years between playthroughs of classics so they feel fresh when I play through them again. It's the best way to not wear ourselves out on them.

[@wingman4668]

This is, what I wanted undertale to become one day, and to be honest with you all?, this game, it’s flawless. It was an absolute joy to play, but also a burden on the soul 🥲 how something so innocent seeming, could twist and churn you like a merciless nightmare, it’s everything an rpg should be. Dramatic, peaceful, chaos. 👏

[@SuperMalachiDude]

This game has the most impactful story that I have ever come across. A story about fear, loneliness, grief, depression, and the world of escape. Something that I and many other people can relate to in some ways. Just for completing the story and discovering all endings, it was the catalyst that gave me a sort of artificial grieving and healing process. 6 months later I can say that it eventually left me a wiser, better person. I would say more but that would be crossing a personal boundary that I only would share with close friends and family. Do I recommend this game? It depends on the person. It's definitely not for kids, and if you don't want to experience what I mentioned, I don't suggest it. But if you feel some kind of aching in your soul, whether that's a lack of emotion or personal trauma (etc.), it might help you on a fundamental level. I also recommend playing Hyper Light Drifter for feeling at peace with the unavoidable concept of death, And Celeste (and/or Dark Souls) for dealing with confidence issues.

In 2020, during the pandemic, I had an idea for an rpg game that I've been planning since (i still have to learn to code). Then, I was inspired by undertale, now, by other games such as Oneshot, deltarune, and fnaf. And I'm ready to give Omori a try and expand my videogame culture. Upon seeing the crayon drawings for the first time I knew that this game was special, I think i wasn't wrong.

[@purplpasta]

@@Fireryyo The psychological aspect doesnt bother me, tbh it was my number 1 reason to look into the game. But from what I saw, the battles are inherently boring. Take undertale, which also heavily relies on turn based battle systems. The big difference is that its not JUST selecting an option, you additionally determine how much damage you take with a dodging minigame every turn, that tarely gets repetitive. Omori doesnt have this from what I know. Would love to play it for the story but from what I saw I'll quit the game after an hour or two due to a lack of motivation to continue...
