I could see potential here and there, but the fact that nothing has really kicked off after 5 hours completely lost me.
The art style is very rich and cements Omori in a world that begs to be explored. It feels like there's symbolism everywhere that pushes you forward to find out more about this colorful world. And then, nothing really happens for 4 hours...
Not only does the pacing here completely kill any interest I had, the combat is also not fun. It's so repetitive and necessitates zero effort on the part of the player. You simply attack enemies, heal and basically always win.
I was waiting for something similar to Undertale here and for Omori to really wow me, but it feels like pretty empty calories that doesn't come close to the mechanical and world building ingenuity of its contemporaries.
