I did not read how people felt about this game, it is an EXTREMELY sad experience, however it was very very very enjoyable and I had a lot of fun with the characters, gameplay, and beautiful hand drawn art/world.

Omori is a shorter JRPG in the same vein of quirkiness and heavy themes as Undertale and Mother, which were clear influences. Runtime is a hair over twenty hours, which felt just right. You will laugh at the jokes that your party members and best friends crack but also want to cry at the sorrow that all these youths experience. I don't want to spoil any of the sorrow or psychological horror that is involved in this game because I think its best going in mostly blind but tissues and emotional support are in order for the latter half of Omori.

It is a powerful tale that encompassies bullying, depressing, anxiety, hopelesness, and friendship, something all too real.
