My experience with this game, both came at a time when I probably shouldn't have played it, and also very much should have. The message at the end flying far above my head as per usual so I wasn't really left with much other then a smile as the credits rolled. My playthrough followed opening the door, with no real desire to finish a second one.

This game is, beautiful, visually it has two distinct art styles, one for the dream world and one for the real world, the dream world having more children's drawing-esque, magical mind-scape type feel with both the environment and characters. The real world on the other had has a still anime-cartoon like feel but a more grounded vibe, I don't know how better to explain, it looks more, solid?

Sound wise this game really doesn't miss, soundtracks for each boss, which some choice ones are absolute bangers that I occasionally will just listen to on their own, with the initial battle music feeling incredibly fitting for the location you're in, and of course, changing over the course of the game.

And finally, easily the stand out best part of Omori, is the story. I don't even want to explain my feelings in depth because I want anyone that actually took their time to read this far, to go and give the game a try. I just hope that come the end of the game, you can experience the same, happy crying I had when that one particular scene played.
