this is a sentiment that has been echoed by many other people on this website, but omori and its fanbase are exactly what people thought undertale and its fanbase were like in 2015.

i think ultimately, omori's commodification and desire for marketability with a subject as touchy as childhood trauma and mental illness for the sake of making a shoddy attempt at replicating early rpg maker titles turns omori from a 5/10 mediocre horror rpg to one of my least favorite pieces of media.
you spend a good chunk in the game in a frustratingly obnoxious trauma induced headspace with a woobified cast that ultimately has no depth, and the other half in the real world which is barely much better, all of which to set up badly done, laughable horror while still making these sensitive subjects digestible to people who would otherwise be put off by them. the whole game feels like it was designed to sell merchandise of these uwu so sad teenagers and i wouldn't be surprised if that was 100% the intention with making this game, as the entire experience is deeply shallow.
if you want an actually nuanced depiction of childhood trauma and mental illness that doesn't try to make a dark and troubling topic marketable for teenagers, read oyasumi punpun.

i already made a review of omori that i will be keeping up since they were my thoughts when i had initially played the game, i just wanted to give my thoughts about the game now that i've sat on my experience with it for a few months.
