It's a fun game. Do you people understand what fun even is? This game gets a horrible reputation for no reason, none at all. It's a dreaded joke gift people get on Steam for laughs. I genuinely don't get it. It's fun.

There's heart and soul put into this game. The game does a genuine effort to explain the levels and give you tips on solving them. The rats have fun sounds and animations, and they even do a little dance when you do clear the level. There was a genuine effort to make something fun here.

Is it well made? No. Sometimes the ball will roll into the foreground making it impossible to clear the level unless you try again. Sometimes the same exact setup leads to different results making it a game of RNG. Sometimes the timing is so inconsistent you sit there trying multiple times to recreate that one result that made it work.

But despite these issues, it's fun. It's hilarious seeing the little rats do their jobs. It's hilarious seeing the Baseball Rat say "Baseball" every time he swings that shit. It's hilarious seeing the Fat Rat fall down. It's hilarious seeing everything explode. It's not a well made game, but I had fun. That's what matters at the end of the day.

I sit here and wonder if all the people who give this a negative review ever had fun a day in their lives. Most RPGs wish they could be close to as fun as this broken mess. I would play this game 5 times over before I ever gave Omori a minute of my time. Sometimes all you need to do is sit down, grab a snack, and play some Bad Rats.
