Okay, so, this game is kind of weird.
On one hand: You have this game, with INSANELY good art, music, etc. There is a REASON all of these kids on Discord and Twitter have OMORI PFPs despite not playing it: the art direction of this game is just absolutely amazing.
On the other hand: oh my GOD, have I not had a worse time playing the actual game than I had playing OMORI. Playing the Headspace sections of OMORI is like walking through fucking molasses, and it doesn't help at all the combat itself isn't really that fun outside of the bossfights, where even then you don't really have to think TOO hard.
This is the same problem OneShot has, where everything BUT the gameplay is really good, except OMORI is 25 hours long instead of 4-6. However, if you can manage to get past the Headspace sections, the rest of the game is actually really good. Even after knowing the ENTIRE game's story before playing it for the first time, the ending still kinda got me.
Fuck Humphrey.

This is art
It is a rather unique game.
The story is very deep and deals with very serious psychological issues in a way that hooks you and makes you want to find out what exactly is going on and why all the quirky things you experience throughout the game happen.
The gameplay could be more elaborate. The emotions in the fights are interesting since they fit very well with the theme of the game, although in the end it's a simple rock paper scissors.
There are also areas in the Headspace that become a little heavy and unnecessarily long.

Me lo he pasado tras un tiempo que lo aparqué por cosas personales que me impedían jugar a un juego centrado en una temática algo deprimente.
Igualmente, me ha costado jugarlo, no necesariamente porque su trama trata aspectos serios, sino porque creo que no hace un buen trabajo sopesando su parte RPG y su parte más narrativa.
Narrativamente, el juego tiene bastante potencial. Habla sobre las relaciones entre niños, trauma y el pasado. Consigue establecer muy bien un setting de pueblo o lugar donde nada parece avanzar. Reconozco estos puntos y creo que establece muy bien un espíritu semi-aventurero adolescente mezclado con tintes de horror.
Peeeeero... Su estructura RPG es mediocre. El sistema de combate no me consigue encandilar en absoluto. Tiene aspectos interesantes en su forma de tratar los estados de ánimo pero sigue sintiéndose lento y muy simplista. Y el diseño de escenarios, sin ser necesariamente malo (sobre todo a nivel estético), me parece algo obtuso.
Aparte, narrativamente, las partes RPG, es decir, las partes de ensueño, suelen ser siempre las menos interesantes. Es una estructura demasiado repetitiva el: "Momento más siniestro -> Aventura cuqui -> Momento muy siniestro -> Mundo real"
Entiendo bien sus temas y lo respeto por ello y creo que no hace mal trabajo, pero la forma en lo que los presenta no ha conseguido llegarme porque se ven embarradas en tropos RPG que hacen que todo vaya peor.

NUNCA MAIS SUBO ESCADA NA VIDA
Vi apenas a review de um youtuber, mas a história me cativou tanto e os personagens são incríveis
Gosto de como mostra as situações sérias, de como tem momentos engraçados, é tudo muito fofo

Gostei bastante do jogo! No entanto, não achei o plot twist do final muito bem inteligente; na minha opinião, só estava ali para shock value mesmo. Enfim, em geral, amei muito a narrativa, que é bem detalhada e riquíssima em detalhes: é possível observar isso pelo fato de eu ter mais de quarenta horas de jogo e ter alcançado apenas 51% das conquistas, sendo que exploro bastante em todos os jogos hehehe Parabéns aos desenvolvedores! Fico no aguardo do próximo jogo.
very sad but relatable in a lot of ways
music is so underrated
