This review contains spoilers
I was on board for 90% of the game then the "true" path "twist" kinda killed it for me.
So much of the game seemed to be about avoiding dealing with grief and had some very touching moments that resulted from this.
*big spoilers below****
The reveal of Omori/Sunny having accidentally killed his sister and staging it to be taken as a suicide felt like it came out of left field and lessened a lot of the impact of previous moments. He went from a sympathetic character struggling to deal with the loss of a loved one to quite the opposite. The final resolution was very good, but how they got there just didn't land for me.
Overall I still really liked the game, combat is fun, the emotion system is neat to play with, the art and music are great, and the bulk of the experience is very enjoyable.
May come back at a later date and go for a different route and see if I like that better.
