My games recently arrived, and I am of course excited, specially since they came with extra goodies. OMORI (I'm aware that some usually spelt Omori, but I like spelling it in all caps) actually did come with some as well, despite the website not saying anything about them (at least not that I could find). Came with a manual and a polaroid photo of Basil tagging Omori, which, especially after playing the game, I found cool as all hell.
Now to talk about how much I love OMORI...
Before playing OMORI, I knew a tiny bit as to what it was really about. I knew it was about depression and anxiety, and I knew about Basil and Omori, there was also some character that wore a basketball uniform and was really liked by the fandom, but other than that, not much. I did watch a video about its development and it was actually super interesting, big props to OMOCAT and the rest of the OMORI team, they did a great job! Fucked up what they had to go through though, I'm fine with no sequel to OMORI coming considering allat.
I first played a tiny bit of OMORI (about an hour) to get a taste of what it was like, I liked it. However, the next session was when everything broke inside of me, I had become someone different, the demons came out from hiding and took over. (/j) I played OMORI for 7 hours, I was so hooked!!! The storytelling was so good and I can't name any other game (apart from maybe Night in The Woods) that managed to get me this hooked. I had to stop playing because it was getting late and I needed to get sleep, the next day however, I was completely free the entire day. I spent about 9-10 hours and got to the ending, it didn't help that when I stopped playing a major thing in the story happened and I wanted to find out what happened next, it was like a self-made cliffhanger.
I highly recommend OMORI to anyone that can manage the themes of the game, it is a pretty hard-hitting game, so if you're not comfortable with self-harm and depressive themes then you're completely valid in not wanting to play this game. To anyone else though, I recommend going into OMORI completely blind, I played without a sliver of any idea of where the story would go, and that highly impacted my interest and love for the game.
Thanks for reading!
