Player reviews
« Having played through OMORI, I’m confident say that it’s an experience I won’t forget. This is a game I wholeheartedly recommend for those that appreciate a good story. With a strong emphasis on catharsis, it has a lot up its sleeves. The cutesy and colorful presentation hides a grim reality and it hits hard. Highly recommended, OMORI is a gem of a game that definitely deserves recognition. »
– DarkStation on Metacritic
« OMORI is definitely one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life. Everything is amazing, from the characters to the story. The game genuinely changed the way I was seeing life and made me realize that everything don’t last forever, as well as we should rely on others more to solve problems we can’t overcome by ourselves. »
