TL;DR The story is amazing. If you like story based indie RPGs you need to play this game. The combat is fine, it's serviceable. Not bad at all, sometimes challenging.

(Spoilers for the general premise of the game IG, if you know nothing I would suggest going in blind and at least playing the first 2 hours)

Apparently people don't like the headspace in this game. I was consistently entertained by the whole game for the 20 hours I played the main route, and it all builds up with perfect little hints of mystery and intrigue wrapped up in a mind fuck package to create one of my favorite climaxes in video games.

Easily a 9/10. Verging on 10/10. Only thing preventing me from saying 10/10 is a general feeling of “I guess it could’ve been EVEN BETTER if the headspace in general had some more deeper connections to real life stuff.” Additionally, I still like Undertale and Deltarune more than Omori, probably a combination of nostalgia and Undertale and Deltarune being more consistently funny.

I enjoyed the turned base combat system, though the main route doesn't engage with the mechanics enough for it to be too challenging. It's no SMT game that's for sure.

I've only done the main route and ending. Will eventually do the other route and endings after I am no longer tired of the combat, and am ready to replay the same first 10 hours of content again.
