if you're thinking about whether or not to play this game and are kind of on the fence about it - do it. play the game. i have never bawled harder to the ending portion of a game in my life. it is terrifying and funny and gorgeous and emotional and genuinely will change your life. the gameplay is easy to latch onto, the characters are relatable and lovable, the game design is extremely pleasing on the eyes and the soundtrack is beautiful and catchy. god please please play omori if you ever get the chance.

My favorite game ever. Nothing I've played has ever made me feel the same way as OMORI did.

Story of a suicidal depressed boy, chasing the shadow of his loved one. Unfolding the memories once buries deeply in order to protect himself. Facing his true fear, facing his past, in hope of finding real redemption. Fear of the past, for what had happened. Fear of the present, for what will others see him only if they knew. Fear of the future, for which he can no longer feel happiness.

This game deal with many personal issue. Depression, loneliness, isolation, acceptance, past trauma, anxiety, memories, suicidal thought, friendship, fear, grieve for the loved and lost one. Forgiveness from others and forgiveness from yourself. Magnificent and impressive artworks, accurately depict the psychological space and the mental thought of a depressed person, speaking of experience.

The pacing is comparably much slower than Undertale, so many side-quests and fillers unrelated to the main story. But if you get the patient and time to endure that, the main story and the plot twist got juicy later on. Everyone have forgiven you already, you can forgive yourself. 10/10, get ready to be depressed for a few weeks.
