Omori broke me once again (minor spoilers and content warning, btw)

I've discovered a channel about a dad who lost his daughter to suicide, and then started his channel about grief. The last video is this one where he plays Omori and says his point of view. It is heart-breaking. 

Not only I have to remember, in detail, everything about the game, but I also have to watch this man so emotionally destroyed talking about his experience. 

When I first watched a gameplay of it in the Johneawesome channel, I immediately knew it was one of my favourite games.  I have a personal connection when it comes down to suicide and depression, and the moment Omori changed it tune to this side of the story, it broke me. 

While watching the video, it reminded me of every possible and miserable feeling of despair and overwhelm that I felt the first time, specially because I have imagined having a daughter and it consumed me that she only was 13. Folks, she was thirteen when she decide that life wasn't worth living.

I've heard my grandpa's story about how he had to bury his first son, a baby. Then, he said "no parent should have to bury their child". Now, do you understand what this guy must have felt when he had to bury a child that he lost to suicide?? That's on another level. 

Omori touched me, because I've felt it was the closest any media had got to grief and guilt and depression and how suicide affects the lives of everyone. This guy moved me because he is on the other side of the spectrum: the parent side. 

Usually this is not portrait. Still, it is as dense as the victim's. He played Omori and understood Aubrey's anger. He played Omori and loved Kel's positivity. He played Omori and respected Hero. He played Omori, a game that his daughter had played, and understood how Sunny and Basil were consumed by their guilty, and how he had an Omori too.

I love Omori because of how it relates to my darker times. He hates Omori because of it relates to his daughter darker times. It reminds me of those feelings. It reminds him of his grief. Still, we both have to take deep breaths when we talk about it, because of how it relates to darker times.
