The game is one of, if not, the most emotional playthroughs of any JRPG games that I've played throughout my whole gaming life. Honestly at first I wasn't interested and actually skeptical at first (I even thought to refund it, but thank God I didn't) just because I'm the type that gets bored fast when the first hour of any game didn't impress me. However the game hooks you at just the right moment, it makes you intrigued to see the end of this whole journey and boy oh boy did this game nails to give me a huge amount episodes of depression after finishing it.

Let's start with the gameplay since omori is a turn-based jrpg kind of like old school final fantasy or persona or earthbound/mother series which the game is directly inspired by,
while it has some unique features, overall, it's pretty basic or most of the time it doesn't need that deep strategical thinking to beat bosses or certain enemies, actually almost any enemies can be defeated without even effectively using what the game pushes us to do. But the interesting part form it is how each individual enemies are animated and every region or places have different battle music, all the bosses have their own battle music which all of them are complete bangers. From the screenshots one the store page alone, you can already see how vibrant and lively the art style is, how it mixes certain elements of sketch art and doodle art with really nice coloring texture that exudes the game's charming points. (edit: I wanna take back what I said about the 'no strategical thinking' thing, the game actually gave me a hard time post endgame content)

By far the most interesting and noteworthy aspect that this game has to offer is the storytelling specifically how well written the main casts are ( and how shockingly realistic all of these events they are in). I won't go into further details on the whats and whys, I seriously want people to play this game blind or without prior knowledge on what the game is about. But let's just say the hurdle that the casts are facing is way bigger than you might think at first.

However if you don't like turn-based jprgs, I know I don't have the right to say this but you should watch a playthrough because I really don't want people to miss out on how emotionally impactful this game is.

This is truly one of those games that I wish I could erase my memories just to play it again, not that I'm saying it lost it's charm once you finished it but it certainly gave you a lot of unforgettable moments that makes you want to replay it to see it again. I hope my point came across to you whoever is reading this. Thank you and please play the game.
