This game is a brilliant depiction of mental illness and trauma; but do not ignore the warnings. This game is beautiful and wholesome and fun and nostalgic and creative, but dark nonetheless. If you're a fan of the silent hill series, earthbound, or Yume Nikki; there are tropes it shares across them all and it pulls all these dissonant tones together in a wonderfully paced, harmonious experience.

Omori
sheakellen19 May 2021
Omori is half turned-based RPG, half Psychological Horror. It has uniquely animated cutscenes, a beautiful 179-track soundtrack, and a story that will make you ball your eyes out. It's terrifying, silly, funny, emotional, and amazing all at the same time. If you haven't played Omori I HIGHLY recommend it.
Excellent game

Wow, I've been waiting for this game for so long, and it was worth waiting for more than 5 years
This game has such an elaborate story, it has very good songs, and it also made me cry, and see things differently Characters are super charismatic and mature over time And the battle system is so good and interesting
I Love this game.

An experience that may change your life

I recently bought Omori for the switch and God am I happy I did. I'll start with the easier stuff. The graphics are very pretty and downright fantastic in some sections, however it's not going to blow you away or anything. The main use of the graphics is to enhance the storytelling of the game, which they do masterfully. On the other hand, the music not only enhances the storytelling of the game to an insane degree, but is also just amazing in its own right, likely the best (indie) ost since Cuphead three years before it. Just like the graphics, the gameplay is not going to blow you away with its completely unique and different battle system, but that doesn't mean it's not incredible(even more so than the graphics I think). It's classic turn based combat for the most part, but with fantastic rpg elements and a wonderful little "emotion gimmick" that gives the game its own spin on turn based rpg combat. When not in combat, you get to enjoy an amazingly rich world of cities, hotels, planets, whales, and more. Two of my favorite parts about exploring are how there are items to pick up everywhere, making all exploration worth it, as well as how each item has its own little unique description, giving the game so much personality and charm(a lot like undertale). Still, even with all this, I would probably only give the game an 8 or maybe an 8.5. What takes it up to an easy ten is the downright terrifying beauty of its storyline. It has easily one of the best storylines I've ever seen in a game, telling a story of loss, grief, guilt, depression, and memory. I don't want to spoil it but just know it's beautifully(and arguably perfectly) paced, written, directed, and drawn. If you have not given this one a go, I would highly recommend that you do; you will not regret it.
good game me like 10/10

This game is quite good. It has a very good story with many twists and very engaging gameplay with the battle mechanics and unique emotions system. Do not ignore the warnings however, as they do come into play quite intensely. If you're okay with pixelated gore and depictions of characters dying and killing themselves, then go ahead and give this game a try!
Amazing game
bmoneyhawk31 July 2021
This game is absolutely amazing. I've played through it all, and there is so much to do. The story is very elaborate and captivating, and the fights (the game is half turn-based RPG, half psychological horror), characters, and quests, are amazing as well.
10/10

I have played many video games in the past, but there has never been one that could close the gap to my heart as effortlessly as OMORI has. The first hour or so of this game is misleading, probably intentionally so. I thought this was going to be a cute lo-fi aesthetic RPG with some, quite frankly, sluggish combat, or something along these lines. But as I progressed through the game and the first major plot point, I realized: I wasn't playing OMORI for the gameplay, no, there are clearly better RPGs than this. But the story, the world, the characters... now this is something worth exploring. And believe me when I tell you that in the end of it all, I regret even thinking of doubting this game at the beginning.
I can't say much without getting into spoiler territory, but I can tell you this: OMORI has so, so many powerful ways of gripping your heart, tightly so. One moment you'll find yourself with a glowing grin and watery eyes, then moments later you'll be feeling the painful chills down on you as you slowly explore the horrible truth. You CARE about what is happening, without the game making you do so. It is the most meaningful game I've ever played in terms of presentation... the world building is meaningful, the horror aspects of this game are meaningful. Everything matters, and this game will make you realize this thoroughly.
What is even more astounding, is that such a brilliant game was made in RPG Maker. It just shows that a bold vision can shine adamantly even on restricted environments. Five years of rough development that paid off tremendously. A tiny group of individuals that wanted to create something beautiful. Even on RPG Maker, this game looks amazing. The little details in every level, the gorgeous pencil-drawn animations, the expressive character portraits, complementing each other to deliver a bizarre, colorful world... and let's not get started on the soundtrack of this game.
OMORI is sad, it is happy, it is terrifying, it is a macabre ode for young people, it is a message of love and forgiveness. OMORI is a warm smile in the cold fog, in the endless void. It is a reminder. A reminder to look ahead, past the overwhelming darkness. There, somewhere, you'll find the smiles and love of the ones waiting for you. So don't keep them waiting :)

Omori

Warning: Spoilers
My favorite story of all time. I honestly believe it is impossible to create a story that impacts me as much as this does. The characters are so perfect and realistic that I feel real attachment to them in a way I've never felt for fictional characters. It's a long game, but all of the content is so good. The giant amount of secrets and things hidden around the world that further expose the mind and trauma of Sunny make it feel so real. It's bizarre how good this game is at repeatedly elaborating on and making it crystal clear that Sunny is so completely disconnected from the real world, as well as showing the intense, terrifying trauma that forces him to do that. All the black space areas make you truly realize the severity of the depression and blackness of his mind. This game will give you a fun light-hearted story for hours and hours and then repeatedly punch you in the gut every time it reminds you that every second Sunny is spending living these fake happy experiences, it's killing him more and more in the real world. Nothing could ever make me feel more than this amazing game.
Really loved the game
khalidsaleh-8852119 August 2022
Easily the saddest game I ever played after finishing the game I really just couldn't get rid of this emptiness inside of me and always find myself thinking about playing it again even though I played about a month ago.
Not good
lucianlack26 March 2023
I bought Omori thinking it would be good. I thought it would be great, in fact! Literally the only reviews of the game were extremely positive. And after playing through it twice, all I have to say is that I have no idea how they like it.
I would tell people that this is just my opinion and they shouldn't harass me or say I have bad taste, but unfortunately, considering this is the internet, that's not going to happen. So say I'm a horrible person all you want for disliking a game, I really don't care.
So anyways, let's get into this crap. I'm going to explain why Omori is not a great game, so grab a snack or something if you're hungry I guess and don't if you're not and read this if you want to. Which I imagine you do, as you clicked on this. Unless you just did to say it sucks, in which case you probably aren't reading this part. Anyways enjoy the review I guess.
I'm going to start off this review with the three things I liked about the game, so as to not be completely negative. First, I really like the music. Some of it is better than the rest, but all of it is at least fine, and there's quite a few great songs in it. I actually recommend the soundtrack, it's pretty good.
Second is the artwork. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the overworld sprites, I feel like they're a bit overly simple for the game's aesthetic, but the battle sprites look fantastic. I absolutely love the way they animate and change dependent on their emotions (which are pretty much status effects). The artwork in the photo albums and stuff isn't bad either.
Thirdly, uh... I actually forgot what the third thing was in the process of writing this. Well, that's enough of being positive! Let's get into the negatives, the (unfortunately) main part of this review.
The first time I played Omori was like a year and a half ago, and I initially loved it. That was because I used to have terrible taste. But I think I got up to the Sweetheart's Castle section and stopped because of how dreadfully boring it was.
I picked it back up a few months later and played up to the Humphrey section, when I stopped because of how dreadfully boring it was. Then I picked it back up a few months later and beat it. I only got the bad ending though, because I had already seen the good ending and didn't feel like putting in the effort to get it because of how dreadfully boring it was. Recently, I decided to play through it again and do the Hikikomori route. I have no idea why. I got to almost the end and stopped, because of how dreadfully boring it was.
I think the fact I had to take multi-month breaks in between sessions of this game speaks for itself, but unfortunately, facts can't speak, so I have to speak for it I'm afraid. Every review and analysis I've watched or read of this game has started with the gameplay, so I'll follow suit. The gameplay in Omori sucks.
Now I've played other RPG Maker games with bad combat, such as Off and Space Funeral. But the difference is, those games are great in every other regard, and don't make you spend much time on the combat. I think you could say Off is a little too combat-reliant, but I don't feel like it's too annoying. Meanwhile, Omori makes you spend most of your natural life fighting enemies. And it's not like the combat is fun, either. Hylics 2, another actually good game, has encounters that last quite a while, but it makes up for that with none of them respawning and just generally having a deeper and more complex combat system. Meanwhile Omori's combat is incredibly easy and takes like 5 hours per encounter.
I've heard some people say that Omori is really tough and I have to wonder how many RPGs they've played. And I suck at RPGs. I play pretty much every one on easy mode, and Omori's still pathetic. And it wouldn't be a big deal if the combat wasn't long-winded like in the aforementioned Off and Space Funeral. But unfortunately, it's winded about as long as the Nyabarongo river. Probably longer.
Seriously, the combat takes so. Long. Just the animations take forever and there's approximately 9000 enemies in every area. For god's sake, there's two separate achievements for killing 100 enemies of a certain kind. I don't know why you'd ever do that, but it's your choice I guess. My point is that the combat sucks and it takes up the majority of the game.
The walking gameplay isn't much better than the combat. Most of it consists of solving boring and easy puzzles that take way too long, or trying to solve a puzzle and getting dragged into an extremely long, boring, and pointlessly slow cutscene that accomplishes nothing and isn't entertaining, funny, or plot-relevant.
At this point I think I should probably summarize the structure of this game. Basically, you go through 5 or so hours of stuff within the main character's mind, called the Headspace sections, and then spend like 2 hours in the real world doing side quests and furthering the real plot.
The real world sections are honestly not that bad, other than the crappy annoying side quests, but the creator at least had the fortunate idea to make those optional. The writing is honestly pretty good in the real world and the pacing is alright, but unfortunately, most of the game takes place in Headspace, which is like a mirror version of the real world. By that I mean the writing is terrible and the pacing is abhorrent. Or, in other words, it's dreadfully boring.
The plot isn't much better. Well, sorta. The Headspace story is awful. Just awful. The plot surrounds Omori, along with his friends Kel, Hero, and Aubrey, along with his sister Mari who supplies save points as they go on an epic quest to save their friend Basil. But most of it doesn't surround that and instead surrounds some random boring shenanigans happening. Then after approximately 5 hours of some random crap you fight an easy boss and then you do a real world section. And as I said, the real world sections aren't that bad, it's just that you barely get to be in them. And even then, they're still flawed in many regards. I'm not planning to spoil anything in this review, but there's a twist near the end no one shuts up about and to be honest, it's really not that great, so don't get too hyped if for some godforsaken reason your conclusion after reading this is to buy it.
But anyways, the plot in the real world is decent. Some of it's overly slowly-paced for what it is, but overall, it's written fairly well. It's just the fact two hours of well-written enjoyable gameplay is balanced out with 5 hours of mind-numbingly boring stupid Headspace crap that really bugs me. If this game was just the real-world sections, I think it would honestly be a decent little indie game. But unfortunately, the creator felt the need to add in 20 more hours of gameplay to make it worth people's while to play. I could probably rant and nitpick for another fifteen hours about random crap like the extremely unfunny dialogue that's legitimately cringey and extremely hard to sit through for a game apparently made for adults, but I won't, because I don't feel like it would add anything else to the conversation. But I will mention the incredibly annoying fandom that deflects every bit of criticism like they've just used PSI Shield.
If you mention pretty much any of the countless negatives I've just went over, a bunch of fans will immediately defend it by just saying it was intentional. If this review is sufficiently popular, I'm sure you'll even see it in the comments despite me acknowledging it. This especially comes up when you mention the tedious Headspace sections, as canonically they're meant to be an escape from something (hah get it) traumatic in the main character's past. If you say something about those segments being bad, people will immediately say "Oh they're so tedious and boring and easy and not fun because they're an escape! You just don't understand the point of the game." But something being intentionally bad doesn't make it not bad. Especially when it's as frustrating as the Headspace garbage in this game. And that's true for most other points of contention in Omori, they're just treated as okay because they're intentional. If I punch you in the face, but then say it was intentional to show how it feels to be punched in the face, you wouldn't be happy with me, would you? I hope not.
Basically, in conclusion, I'm not a big fan of Omori. I think it's objectively an awful game and it utterly confuses me why so many people love it so much. I strongly do not recommend it, but if you enjoy it, that is fine. If that's your favorite game of all time, I genuinely don't give a crap. Like what you like, I just wanted to unload some very strong opinions I had brewing in my cranium for about a year now. I hope you enjoyed this, and if you just commented how wrong I was before reading anything, maybe don't. Hopefully this review wasn't too dreadfully boring. Bye.

Man this game is awesome. I love how it has such a dark story with a cute lining. My favorite part was the rpg battles. I love how the battle scheme is easy and simple for people to easily put down and pick up and yet still easily play the game. My favorite ending is probably the best one! Basil and sunny smiling and losing their "somethings" was a great addition even tho it takes hours to water plants. Anyways thats all! You should buy this game and if you love it, then you should play the cool mods! And maybe if you want more to the game, try getting all the achivements, battle perfectheart!
really good

Best Videogame Story and Best Videogame Plot Twist
ChronoDux22 May 2023
Beautiful masterclass piece of art. It could appear like nothing special, especially in the first hour but TRUST ME, don't think it isn't worth playing after just some minutes of gameplay. It could seems childish and nonsense, but after a while you realize it is more than a happy and funny rpg game, we are talking about a PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR game. The ending will surely break your heart and you'll feel completely empity. Themes are very deep and hidden in metaphors and complex concepts. It will teach you a lot.
I'm now going to list Cons and Pros
PROS:
-Immersive detailed atmosphere
-3dimensional characters, they are majestically written
-Amazing Music that help to improve the atmosphere, it gets even better at the end of the game
-Innovative combat system (characters got emotions that can affect their stats during the battle)
-INSANE storytelling, we are talking about one of the best endings of all time in videogames history in my opinion. It is builded up perfectly with no plot holes and it will keep you hooked till the end
-World Building is beautiful, amazingly structured, i can remember every part of the map perfectly
-Character interactions are so funny and intriguing that you will empathize with everyone, especially with the main cast.
-Character Design is super cool, just like the cutscenes.
CONS:
-Fights are a bit repetitive, and they can bother you sometimes even if the combat system (as i said before) is very innovative.
To conclude im gonna say that omori is a hidden gem, very famous in its community but unfortunately not that popular in general. PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU I SWEAR.
RATINGS

Midway review for omori
It starts out as a very quite and depressing game
They got hurt with it so they're headed there tissue into this
And then like a sudden boom from the old cartoon
A brust of wholesomeness came into the room
Suddenly we started the old gang just like the old manner
And kids they be Play hide and seek But then one of them just flee And a black hole they all see
What doki doki it might be Cause years passed by a blink of a second And nobody see it happen And the protag changed never And as always as ever Flirting with death it seams that Someone take the knife before someone he hurts And now i might just finished the song Cause this is just until where I'm gone Well i just got a little bit inspired from nowhere I might had to finish the review with the song but whatever.
The game is kinda boring i understand the all depression thing And the all childhood world building And then they came to the staff teens And started to compare characters
But the game is very dragged out And they both even trying to hidden it Just a simple 'mixtape got lost' Become an hour of searching the trash Cause"it might be useful" And then they even pull a bigger prank at you and you have recycle each piece of trash manually by yourself
And they didn't used this time for . Idk Building characters Or atleast enhancing characters
Or something
The game also have the classic formula of touch every thing at the screen cause it might be connected to the progression
Also bumbust you with an uncountable amount of quests witch doesn't say a thing
And it sad cause the game really having an insain potential"style-isticlly" Some of the most unique I've seen with its imagery and visuals But it sad to see what it really showed so far
To be continued (most likely)
Omori review part two although what I've wrote in part one I've came to appreciate the game much more especially the combat system Combat systemticlly speaking is completely unique With the emotion system which have a great statistical depth and it's just overall very rewarding to really learn the system and to figure out a very specific way to defeat the mobs and especially the bosses which took you a long time And there's the skills which coming into this which make it more deep with hero which healing the gang with his magical cookies or omori just basically denote who the enemy will attack with his grooseum hands And on top of that the "spacial attach system" (I really don't know how to call it) Now you have to also think where you gonna invest your points and with ten of them you will be able (If none of your gang friends became toast that is) To unleash a super duper attack that uses the power of friendship to do buzzilion damage But the grind might not be worth it
But sadly after all of that greatness i awarded the game's combat with I still think the story ain't really good The only way i could describe it by it was a favorite child and a very talented one But he was abandoned young and because he got a little messed up and messy
I know there's a great thing about emotion here but didn't really got any indeed in it
All i can hope is i will when finished the game that I'll connect to the characters better Like... I like the characters but can't really relate to them and ain't freaking too much of a depths in them Just likes them cause all of the wholesome staff happening
Ohh BDW in wholesomeness the game's top tier.
Omori part three The final breakdown to not drag it too much i will sum the review up by taking the overall quality of the game up untill the other two parts of the reviews i wrote
At the begining i thought the dark parts were quite IDK throwable maybe they fealt like the creator watched im sorry played too much undertale realy weird were everything has personality even the trees and staff and they took a little bit of the overall style of the game for example theres one scene i couldnt think of somthing other then undertale a scene like the one with flowey in the hallway It sure was undertale and the overall way they telling the story with the shocking changes of darkness happening now through the game
but still.. was draged out the extreme at undertale every moment is there to explore some charecters either being a main one like flowey or sans or being an extremely little like the shop keepers
this has lots of charecters. Most arent intresting
theres some intresting like sweatheart which is an extremely tragic charecter By her backstory she was a little girl who had nothing so in a very natural way when she had an aprotonaty to get her life wish to being extremly rich and famous... IDK being but although she got everything she wanted She couldnt escape the reality she being put now all shes doing is searching eagerly to anything might give her intress she makes entire shows to only find her a true love but not getting anywhere great caatle but what great castle good without someone to share it with at the end she just understand she couldnt find anyone. So she did the only natural thing married herself and her tragic story comes to end by dieing while making her shes living a life of luxary just she could presuit enternaly for happieness
Still sadly most of the charecters dont get even the slight depth she gets At least to the end of the game Which lemme remind you super dragged
Well i guess its not realy fair to talk to them like that even though most of them devoid of depths they still very fun and quarky.
Sooo.... yeah. Atleast they're fun
but if im not slander the game ill say the bosses of the game are extremlly fun every one of them has its unique attacks and its unique personallity youd see while battling and some of the bosses will actully make you think of how to beat them which will be extremly fun when you actully beat but(you probably knew itll come) The amount of suffering youd have to go through to actully fight those bosses is no short of enourmous Well suffer maybe an overstatement so maybe boredsome actully the second best thing bout the game is the one hardley had
Then it only getting me to the last thing How ill put it The emoutionallity and The Messege of the game Not to spoiler a lot the game sums up by an unitment of the main gang and also fealt very natural and wholesome and it allways fealt good to see wholesome stuff espaissialy from this game which the gang which are a bunch of little kids who always did there kids stuff
and without spoilering the end ill just say it was an extremlly powerfull ending which took lots of motives from the game and concluded them to give them an entire new meanings.
And kids they be Play hide and seek But then one of them just flee And a black hole they all see
What doki doki it might be Cause years passed by a blink of a second And nobody see it happen And the protag changed never And as always as ever Flirting with death it seams that Someone take the knife before someone he hurts And now i might just finished the song Cause this is just until where I'm gone Well i just got a little bit inspired from nowhere I might had to finish the review with the song but whatever.
The game is kinda boring i understand the all depression thing And the all childhood world building And then they came to the staff teens And started to compare characters
But the game is very dragged out And they both even trying to hidden it Just a simple 'mixtape got lost' Become an hour of searching the trash Cause"it might be useful" And then they even pull a bigger prank at you and you have recycle each piece of trash manually by yourself
And they didn't used this time for . Idk Building characters Or atleast enhancing characters
Or something
The game also have the classic formula of touch every thing at the screen cause it might be connected to the progression
Also bumbust you with an uncountable amount of quests witch doesn't say a thing
And it sad cause the game really having an insain potential"style-isticlly" Some of the most unique I've seen with its imagery and visuals But it sad to see what it really showed so far
To be continued (most likely)
Omori review part two although what I've wrote in part one I've came to appreciate the game much more especially the combat system Combat systemticlly speaking is completely unique With the emotion system which have a great statistical depth and it's just overall very rewarding to really learn the system and to figure out a very specific way to defeat the mobs and especially the bosses which took you a long time And there's the skills which coming into this which make it more deep with hero which healing the gang with his magical cookies or omori just basically denote who the enemy will attack with his grooseum hands And on top of that the "spacial attach system" (I really don't know how to call it) Now you have to also think where you gonna invest your points and with ten of them you will be able (If none of your gang friends became toast that is) To unleash a super duper attack that uses the power of friendship to do buzzilion damage But the grind might not be worth it
But sadly after all of that greatness i awarded the game's combat with I still think the story ain't really good The only way i could describe it by it was a favorite child and a very talented one But he was abandoned young and because he got a little messed up and messy

This game BROKE me.
alptuna-1914110 February 2024
This game damaged my mental state. It's the most emotionally impactful game I've ever played.
The gameplay is great. The battle system is fun. The Humprey section was awful, I just skipped that part with cheats.
BUT the lore and characters geniunely made me feel like I was a part of the friend group. I felt shared emotions with the characters, and the Mari's, Basil's, Hero's and Aubrey's lore (the game literally has 6 main characters and 4 of them just destroyed my heart) impacted the way I look at things. I now keep questioning life a lot, and I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. But it surely was an experience that I believe many others should have. It is definitely, without question a psychological horror game.
DO NOT GIVE UP ON THIS GAME BECAUSE THE BEGINNING SECTION IS BORING. THE GAME QUICKLY BECOMES DARK.
(open your sketchbook and look at the pages, look at stuff on your laptop and close it until a knife drops, it's on the left side of your room. Now you can open the stupid beginning door.)

A really mature but not innapropriate game
carlitollanoslevesque8 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is probably the only Rated M game I actually like. The rating is based off the topic manner adressed, but there's nothing innapropriate like explicit sexual scenes or etc. Since it's mainly a game about mental health.
The story is extremely dark, but what makes it interesting to me is that it's realistic. Anything that happened in Omori could happen in real life, and that's what makes it so good. It's about a child's coping mechanism after he accidentally pushed his sister down the stairs and she died. It's a tragedy, but the way the story is told makes you realize that the main character still isn't a criminal. He absolutely didn't mean to do that, but yet he still sees himself as a killer, and it's really sad. I felt a lot of emotions for the characters especially since it was set on a realistic settings. Some endings have a lot of TW, but it's to be expected.
Overall an awesome game.

Warning: Spoilers
HONESTLY, I THINK OMORI IS KINDA A GOOD GAME BECAUSE I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE REVIEWING GOOD STUFF BUT ANYWAYS, HERE ARE SOME THINGS I REALLY HATE ABOUT:
1. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! SO BASICALLY THIS IS ABOUT A BOY NAMED SUNNY WHO HAD LOST HIS SISTER IN HIS PAST... AND I REALLY FIND IT DEPRESSING BECAUSE AFTER HE PUSHED HIS OLDER SISTER DOWNSTAIRS... HIS FRIEND BASIL HANGED HIS SISTER ON A TREE......
2. ALSO NOT ONLY THE STORY IS VERY DEPRESSING BUT SOMEHOW THE BOY'S CHILDHOOD FRIEND AUBREY BULLIED SUNNY AND KEL IN A CHURCH!? THIS SETTING IS ACTUALLY KINDA WEIRD SINCE CHURCH IS ACTUALLY A GOOD PLACE TO WORSHIP GOD AND PRAY. BUT IMAGINE IF SOME GANGSTERS BREAK INTO THAT CHURCH AND THEY JUST BULLY OTHERS.
3. THE GAME IS ALSO BORING. OMOCAT KEPT ON ADDING MORE DIALOGUES AND EVEN MORE ENEMY BATTLES.... THIS KEEPS GETTING WORSE WHEN THEY ADDED MORE FRIGHTENING JUMPSCARES. THEY EVEN ADDED THE PART WHERE OMORI JUST STABS HIMSELF IN THE WHITE SPACE......
OVERALL, I THINK OMORI IS QUITE A GOOD GAME BUT IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN....

Most Overrated Game Ever
New-Maker8 February 2024
I actually like type of this game but Omori make lots of thing wrong,
First of all Omori was to long to be a RPG story game,
Second the game's fighting mechanic was awful and some fight later you just repeat all fight same thing,
Third and last one is story Omori's main story was a real subjactive of lazy work, it would be better if developer would be more complicated but it just add just one little story, thats; Omori kill her sister and be mister for year of this just the story noting more,
Thats why Omori was Overrated game but you still want to play 20 hour to finish this game i wont stop you thanks for reading my review.
