#even though ur playing as omori in the dream world

[zincbot]

i gotta say, 13 hours into omori, i don't get why people call it a horror game

#omori #like there's been occasional creepy scenes but they're usually quite short especially compared to the broader tone of the game #it does have a serious story. about like. trauma and failing friendships? that i'm really intrigued by as it slowly uncovers #like maybe it leans further into horror elements as the game goes on but i gotta say the elements that do exist aren't enough for me #to explicitly call it 'horror' #don't get me wrong i love this game and i love the spooky moments they're really fun! #i just went thru the train ride bit which was pretty fun i liked how the shadow at the end says the name of ur real-world character #even though ur playing as omori in the dream world #also no spoilers but it's unclear to me as of now if omori is just haunted by the memory of his sister's death #or if her spirit is Actually haunting him #also i had flowers and i thought maybe i cld put them on her grave but it didn't give me the option #also i loved the moment where kel talks about hero's depression and the way he himself was overlooked by h #their parents #man. i love all these characters so much #god the scene where aubrey fights you in the church and the whole time all the churchgoers are whispering about how terrible she is #i felt so bad for her man #also her design in the real world is cool as hell #also i actually lost to aubrey during the church scene but i didn't get a game over she just let me be and left #omori spoilers #i know the game is old-ish but my wording may have implied i wasn't going to spoil and i totally did #what i meant was don't tell me abt the future story of the game i'm only on 'three days left'

the last post was getting kinda long so im continuing it here but. omori

played another two hours...once omori wakes up it’s only gonna be two days left until he moves. very ominous! im excited to see hero though and whatever turns up with that one neighbor’s housewarming party. also very funny that this young couple invited this stony-faced teen to their housewarming party idk i just think that’s hilarious i love it

with that out of the way though hi. i cried like a little fucking bitch during the church fight/looking through basil’s photo album. like oh my fuckign god oh my GOD.....AUBREY ):

also i called that mari was dead but god i didnt want it to be true. also when we visited her grave and kel started telling the story about hero’s depression and then that big argument they had oh my fucking GOD I CANT. EMOTIONALLY HANDLE IT!!! I WAS GOING FUCKING NUTS!!!!! INSANE EVEN!!! IM WAILING

also when i was looking at the photo album i noticed that OMORI AND BASIL USED TO HAVE THE SHINES IN THEIR EYES...THEY USED TO HAVE THE WHITE PUPILS RATHER THAN THE BLACK...THEY USED TO BE HAPPY THEY EUSENKDJKDN I LITERALLY FCUKIING SCREAMED THIS WHOLE PART OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDD

i deadass sobbed like a bitch i dont think im even halfway through this game

oh mgod. and speaking of basil and omori what the FUCK was that bathroom scene. what the FUCK was that. HELLO? HELLO? HELLO? “YOU CAN SEE IT TOO CAN’T YOU? SOMETHING BEHIND YOU?” AND THEN U LOOK INT HE MIRROR AND THE FUCKING EYE MOTHERFUCKER IS THERE!!!!!!!!! ALSO THE TENDRILS SURROUNDING BASIL LIKE WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING WHEN BASIL FIRST DISAPPEARED IN THE DREAM WORLD...

ALSO I DONT KNOW IF U HAD ANOTHER CHOICE BUT I FEEL LIKE I FUCKED UP BIG TIME BUT I JUS. I JUST LEFT BASIL IN THE BATHROOM CAUSE I COULDNT FIGURE OUT HOW TO TRIGGER ANYTHING ELSE SO THAT WAS THE ONLY THING I COULD THINK OF. BUT BASIL LITERALLY SOBBING FOR OMORI TO STYA AND OMORI LEAVING ANYWAY IM LTIERALLY GONNA BE SICK I CANT DO IT OH MY GOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PELAJKSNKEJNLE PLEASE > PELA I CANT DO IT

AH. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OH GOD

this latest bit of my playthrough just really got my fucking feelings god fucking damn

on a lighter note tho recognizing the side characters from faraway town and their dreamscape counterparts is a lot of fun (what wasnt so fun was recognizing that one kid’s puzzles pieces on a grave in the graveyard but whatever)

also the white egrets are definitely . important. what with their meaning and the fact that one was next to mari’s grave. so the fact that basil’s grandma also has a white egret next to her makes me wonder,,,if maybe she has something to do with basil’s disappearance in the dreamscape? idk,,,but i am thinking is all

oh also one little thing i like abt the real world segments is that if ur running low on money there’s a bunch of lil jobs u can take up which i enjoy a lot cause it’s interesting, it’s worldbuilding, the minigames r fun, it’s accurate 2 real life, and idk it’s fun (:

anyway this is such a fantastic game i cant wait to keep playing

#god my eyes are all red as fuck from me wiping them tho #idk why just the grief is so palpable i completely sympathize with these characters #ohh god #cass cries #omori #omori spoilers
