OMORI

OMORI talks about two realities, of which only one is real. This is a psychological story with surrealism, elements of thriller and horror. During the day, the hero walks through a bright world full of friendly characters, and at night reality changes. The difference between the worlds is manifested both in colors and in the behavior of others. The protagonist travels between two dimensions that are similar and opposite at the same time. Each world has its own secrets, and familiar characters in another reality behave completely differently. Companions and acquaintances have their own personalities, and relationships with them affect access to scenes. Oddities that at first seem cute gradually become alarming. The exploration leads to memories and things the hero would rather forget. Acquaintances, meetings and observations gradually form a picture that explains what is happening. The rhythm of the story is deliberately slow: walking and talking first, and the most important thing is revealed towards the end. It is due to this that the immersion becomes deep. The combat system is based on turn-based combat, and states and effects are based on real human emotions. This makes the fights unusual: fear, anger and sadness affect the course of the battle. The music and visual style enhance the mood, and the soundtrack has long lived outside the game and attracted concerts and covers, which rarely happens with small projects. For those ready for a story with slow immersion and heavy themes, this game remains an essential experience.
