Didn't like it

Gave my heart a toasty oatmeal raisin cookie, warm glass of milk, tucked it in to bed...and then proceeded to stab it thirty-two consecutive times.

I am writing this review out of emotion, on the one hand, the game is very similar to a standard role-playing turn-based game about a seemingly standard adventure of children in a fantasy world, but after a certain time, you are trampled into the dirt along with the reality of what is happening inside and outside the world of the main character. The game honestly made me cry for 20 minutes at the very end, I don’t want to experience this anymore, but I’m very glad that I came out with a good ending, I probably didn’t survive another one.

Пишу эту рецензию на эмоциях, с одной стороны игра очень быть похожа на стандартную ролевую пошаговую игру о вроде стандартном приключении детей в мире фантазии, но после определенного времени, тебя втаптывают в грязь вместе с реальностью происходящего внутри и вне мира главного героя. Игра честно заставила меня рыдать 20 минут в самом конце, не хочу больше такого переживать, но очень рад что вышел на хорошую концову, другую я наверно не пережил.

I first heard discourse around this game around people who are generally terminally online, who praised this as the second coming of Undertale. so much so that there were people in my college classes who were inspired by this! and as a terminally online zoomer, i was instantly captivated! I actively avoided anything regarding this game as to not get spoiled, and put off playing it for a while until i had a good enough excuse to try, and i finally did!

Needless to say, it didn't quite live up to the expectations i originally had. If i had to describe this game, i would call it "Girl-Core", as the only people i know who like this game are all women.

I clearly didn't get the appeal, i don't think this game is for me. Maybe i'll come back to this at a later date and finish it to see what it's all about, but for now i'll leave it on the shelf.

OMORI is a narrative given story that's mostly told from inside the creative mind of the main character fighting through a countless cast of characters with a charming cast of friends that you'll easily learn to love and a tragedy hidden just out of sight you're sure to be pleased.
