A child, his friends, and colorful lands where horror seeps up beneath the softness.

When the community picks on gut feeling, Omori edges past six games out of ten, fine without dazzle. But the internal contrast tells another story. Attachment puts it ahead of 90% of titles, the art style ahead of nearly 90%, and the soundtrack ahead of 85%, the trio of emotion, image and sound striking right at the top. On the other side, fun, the game you start for a session quickly swallowed, falls back toward the bottom, and so does what you'd take to a desert island. There's the tension: you grow deeply attached, you keep its image and its music, but it isn't a game you casually restart. It all rests on few votes, so take it as something to confirm, but the profile is striking.

Against narrative indie RPGs, it tracks: Omori bets on emotional weight and visual daring more than on immediate snappiness.

So, for who? For you if you like a game that grips your heart, marks you with its art and its music, and haunts you long after. A lot less if you want a light, fun session to fire up between two other things.
