Summary of my thoughts the mystery behind Mari's death is corny as fuck because it just feels like it's supposed to make you feel bad in some edgy way, like yeah almost the whole game you get these crazy ass visions and then you find out it was somehow death by stairs except the actual death might've been through hanging which makes more sense but is also fucking stupid in all honesty this game would've been better if it was just a bizarre game with bizarre stuff and kids facing the most bizarre shit you've seen, Mari's twist could've been shortened and changed significantly and it probably would've had a big impact anyway, something that is more "she died and sunny's failed to move on properly" or something like that" really feels to me like they tried to capture the melancholy of Mother 3 but even if you know that game's twists it doesn't feel like it's a stark contrast to the rest of the game, and I get that's what Omori is going for but whiplash and jumpscares every 5 minutes isn't how to do that
I will say that I do like the idea of Headspace and the whole thing with you opening the door to the real world, and I do like Mari as well. Music's rockin. I don't know what to rate it, I didn't even beat it I just read into the twists like an idiot, got spoiled but realized it was probably better that I did
