Okay, so, this game is kind of weird.

On one hand: You have this game, with INSANELY good art, music, etc. There is a REASON all of these kids on Discord and Twitter have OMORI PFPs despite not playing it: the art direction of this game is just absolutely amazing.

On the other hand: oh my GOD, have I not had a worse time playing the actual game than I had playing OMORI. Playing the Headspace sections of OMORI is like walking through fucking molasses, and it doesn't help at all the combat itself isn't really that fun outside of the bossfights, where even then you don't really have to think TOO hard.

This is the same problem OneShot has, where everything BUT the gameplay is really good, except OMORI is 25 hours long instead of 4-6. However, if you can manage to get past the Headspace sections, the rest of the game is actually really good. Even after knowing the ENTIRE game's story before playing it for the first time, the ending still kinda got me.

Fuck Humphrey.
