Omori

Omori (2020) is a role-play narrative game about a troubled teenage boy and his dream world alter-ego Omori. You play as a group of friends explore both the real and surreal world to help both Sunny and Omori deal with (or suppress) fears and secrets. It creates an eclectic and unsettling adventure where your choices not only impact the characters but how the story ends.

Omori is a game based on the comic of the same name. You explore a strange world full of colourful friends and foes in order to uncover Omori's forgotten past. By the end, the path you've chosen determines the fate of you and your friends.

Play involves investigating both the real surreal worlds to slowly uncover the hidden narrative and level up your four characters. This is a combination of looking into every corner of the game along with Pokemon-style turn-based battle encounters. Here though, the combat system includes unconventional emotion-based that prominently portrays the impact of anxiety, depression, psychological trauma, and even suicide.

How Sunny and Omori interact depends on choices made by the player, resulting in one of several endings. As things progress they move from light-hearted adventures into a darker narrative that leans into strong psychological horror elements.
