Few of them can capture the despair that this game so quickly depicts.
Updated on April 4, 2023, by Christopher Argentino: There aren't many RPGs with the same impact as Omori. If you've just beaten the game and you're jonesing for other games that hit the same spot, here are a few options you might consider. This process has culminated in the game's console release for Nintendo Switch and Xbox Game Pass, allowing a new audience to experience Omori's gorgeous soundtrack and intense story. RELATED: Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting Omori Since then, the game has slowly accumulated world-of-mouth success and a cult following - seriously, there is so much fan art of this game. I would bet all the money in my pocket* on it being a cult smash people are raving about before the end of the year, and hopefully we'll have a review on the site soon.Omocat's weird RPG Omori overcame years of development hell and was finally launched on PCs at the tail end of 2020.
Omori is out now (it was released in December 25th - bold) and costs £15.49/$20/€16.79 via Steam. That's a creation story I've never heard before. Omocat was originally just one person, and they said in a statement on Twitter that once the Kickstarter funds ran out, it was clothing sales that funded the rest of the game. I'm more interested in it being the first game by Omocat, a company that otherwise produces fashion and merchandise featuring illustrations similar to those in the game. Development took longer than expected, as these things are prone to do. Omori was initially Kickstarted back in 2014 with a projected release date of 2015. It's the kind of game that seems easy to spoil though, so I'll spill no more. What's intriguing to me is the particular details of its world, and the lovely characters within it. It's serious about its serious themes, and lighthearted in abundance to balance it out. The combat pits you and your pals against a menagerie of nightmare creatures, but while the Steam page is covered in content warnings, I've not seen anything gruesome or indulgently dark.

I, an idiot who has not played those games, have simply been looking at its 'overwhelmingly positive' Steam reviews and watching Twitch streams while slowly realising that this is something we should all be paying attention to. You, a learned reader, might look at it and reference EarthBound or Undertale or Yume Nikki. It's a topdown RPG about a group of friends, living in a small town and tumbling into a strange fantasy world that alternates between colourful and creepy. Omori seems like it's riffing a bunch of games I've never played.
