The influences that Earthbound had on Undertale and Omori are crystal clear. This is an odd RPG with funny writing and a unique setting. I stopped halfway through, because it was too cryptic and difficult to play without a guide, which made the experience bothersome to me. It got to the point where I felt like I had to force myself to continue playing, which for me is a clear indicator that I should stop. But I understand the appeal. If I had grown up with Earthbound, it likely would have been an influential game to me.
