It’s been a little over two weeks since i’ve beaten omori. My brain has been permanently altered. The journey throughout omori is something that can barely be described, only experienced. (but I’m going to try my best.)
starting out I didn’t know anything. After getting into the game and seeing the whitespace for the first time i was pretty much instantly captivated. However, where the game REALLY hooks you is with the characters. the dialogue is so natural and I feel like i’ve known Kel, Hero, Aubrey, Basil, Sunny and Mari for years. You quickly grow to love and adore these characters. That is where omori got me. Every sentence and every piece of dialogue just made me feel a connection to my childhood. Omori does an excellent job at showcasing regression and coping by looking back at a time in one’s life when things were simpler.
Learning about each character felt very natural, and you grow mixed feelings for them, there is no perfect character (except hero he is perfect). They all have realistic flaws, and they all feel like genuine people. Even the most horrific actions committed throughout the game can be justified and you can understand the perspective.
Since playing omori i’ve thought about my relationships, past experiences, and present differently. I had always looked at my distant memories fondly, but my experience with omori has made me look at them with a new lens. You experience the most amazing things, laughter with friends, unforgettable moments, times spent that in the moment, you wish would never end. Then, they’re gone and over. But… that’s OK. Be glad they happened, and be glad you made those memories. You can always keep those forever.
anyways enough with the sap
