The story of omori

is a cute rpg maker game made by

omoket

and was released in late 2020 on steam a

project that ive been in development

for the past six years with a

kickstarter page that reached over 10

times the backing goal

i got this game recommended to me by a

friend telling me about this cute rpg

maker game where you

go on a fun adventure and save your

friend but man was i

not ready for this because despite what

all the screenshots

music videos make it seem like omori

is not a kids game the story has

elements about depression anxiety

death self-harm so if any of these

topics are not for you i suggest

clicking off right now

omaree follows the story of a young boy

called omori

he awakens in a white room it's an empty

room

the only thing in this small space are a

sketchbook

cat laptop tissue blockswait a second anda dark

light bulb hanging from the ceiling you

can explore and walk around this white

space but you will be followed by these

red

grabby heads that will transport you

back to the center of the room

a white door is also present and by

exiting this

you will enter the dream world

the dreamworld is a colorful place

filled with wacky quirky gamer girl

characters

that are not like the other girls here

you will find your three

friends kel aubry and hero

your main party members for the long

part of the game

a bit further on you will find your

other two friends basil

and mari oh damn she kinda cute though

and the adventure begins

the gameplay of amari is much like any

other rpg maker game

but the most similarities will strike

between mother

your basic rpg turn-based combat

systemwhere every party member has different

role

but instead of your normal tank healer

warrior mage roles

omari has a different system the emotion

system oh my god look at this graph

every party member has a different set

of emotions happy

sad and angry where this is pretty much

a rock paper scissor liner where

heavy beats anger anger beats sadness

and sadness beats happy

don't know how that works don't ask me

game game logic

this affects the combat in a way where

enemies are not

static in motion all the time but you

and the enemy as well

can inflict emotions on each other so to

each gain a

upper hand in combat this creates a

dynamic combat system

which can be used in various enemies

and

bosses which

there are a lot of like

big blend space simp

princess [_]you shark man flexomori's exploration system has you a lot

of running around exploring the

dreamworlds and its inhabitants

which also feature drumroll

fetch quest

[Music]

these weren't really that tedious to be

honest though because most of them

had

some funny story around that where this

the characters are interacting with each

other

and it has you exploring various areas

like

generic forest space

pink's landing the bottom of the ocean

and the inside of a whale you know

your generic rpg areas locations

after you meet up back with mari and

basil at the playground you look at some

pictures of the group together

here it becomes quite obvious that omori

is the odd one out of the group

he lacks any color in contrast to his

friends where almost like they aredrawn with markers and on every picture

he lacks

any type of facial expression so you

talk to some people at the playground

play hide and seek

beat up a [_][LJbecause you

tried to touch your boy basil like that

no one

touches my boy like that stay the [_]

and you guide basil back to his house

with murray denying space and time loss

and teleporting between picnic places

what the [L] is happening you beat up

big

plans and enter basil's

shoe or something here basil thanks you

for saving his life

fighting off the big angry big man

as he drops something to the floor

that's nothing special

just the picture white am is red omori

gets sent back to the white space

with the white door being gone and the

only way out

is to stab him self

i have several questions you wake upin your room it's dark you're hungry

your mom left a message that there is

Some

leftover steak in the fridge you go

downstairs

or not because [_] stairs

and [_] holy [_1

SO you end up going back to bed but man

do you

really have that 3am steak grave so you

must rub the courage

and go downstairs

but there is something following you

and now there is a hand following you

and oh my god yoshigaki kira go away

you try to fight the hand but it does

nothing

So you try to calm down and something

slowly disappears

you heat up the stake because fighting

at paranormal demons really takes a toll

on that appetite but before you are able

to go to sleep again

someone knocks on your door

[LJit's 3am you better have a good

[Jreason to be oh it's murraytelling you she forgot her keys you open

the door

slowly

[Music]

[L]nope nope open ah what

this was the moment i was pretty much

sold on the game you go back

into the dreamworld and find out basil

is missing finding him

is now your main goal of the game

spoiler marker before i continue if you

have not played this game and you think

this is something for you

i really want to encourage you to

experience the thing

blindly although i did spoil the start a

bit maybe

this game had my jaw dropped at the end

of it and

i might have cried but you tell no one

So what we know at the moment is that

amari use
