Omori is a masterpiece, it’s so good that I can barely even put my thoughts together on what to write for this review.
I bought Omori after hearing several good things all over the internet, and after looking into it for a while on Steam, I had decided to purchase it.
I was immediately in love with the game. The art style immediately drew me in, I loved the brilliant use of color, and the characters all seemed so unique from one another (Kel is the best character). From the very moment the story began, I could see just how much passion and love was put into this game from Omocat.
However the bright colors and cheery music began to fade after a while, and the true colors and nature of Omori began to show itself.
While the bright side of Omori is still amazing on its own, where Omori truly shines is in its dark side. Throughout my playthrough I went from thinking this was the happiest game I had ever played, to constantly wondering what would happen next, I truly began to become concerned about what could happen to the characters, or even the protagonist.
Another area where Omori truly shines is in the real world: Faraway Town.
Omori is now referred to as Sunny (or whatever you choose to name him). And we learn that Sunny had been a shut-in for years now. We also learn that Sunny will be moving out of his house in a few days to a new town.
I truly believe that one of the most horrifying things in Omori is its use of Something, As it stalks both Sunny and Omori through both of the in-game worlds. It can be seen almost anywhere in game, in mirrors, in hidden rooms, even in books or pictures. But eventually Something begins to help the player, teaching him to overcome his fears so he can access other areas in the game, such as Otherworld or Deep Well.
But I believe that the MOST HORRIFYING thing in Omori is Black Space. Black Space can be accessed by acquiring the necessary keyboard keys to complete the hangman minigame. Once the phrase is completed, the horror truly begins.
From the very moment I set foot in Black Space, chills went down my spine. The music is unsettling, and you are presented with a room similar to White Space. However, there are several rooms filled with horrors, including a room that is filled with copies of your friends, however they wander around mindlessly, and they have no faces.
This is all I will write about the game for now as I do not want to spoil anything huge.
If you have the opportunity, please play Omori. I promise you will not regret it.
