I got this game a while back on Steam, but I have yet to play it. I definitely need to set some time aside to give it a go.
"I squirm, I struggle, ergo I am. Faced with death, I am finally, truly alive."![]()

I was thoughly chsrmed by the dreamscape, but the darker bits also filled with a good amount of dread as well. Its a slowbake type of horror, but they also tuck thr most interesting parts behind it, so even if it makes you wince up you dive in anyway because its worth it.
EDIT:Do you guys think the dark mature themes prevent it from reaching as wide an audience as it could? It really is a magnificent game but still seems to be under the radar about 3 months into its lifespan. Like, Undertale had its dark moments for sure but they werent anywhere as In Your Face as this game is.

There was a tumblr blog Omoriboy, and some sketch art for Omori's story both feature a character very similar to Omori, and Omori's story has art with character and scenery very similar to the ones that appeared in the game. Omori's story never, as far as I know, got past the concept art stage, I think it was supposed to be a graphic novel before Omocat scrapped it in favor of making Omori.

Is it ok if I add individual enemy folders on the Headspace character page?
"Unite GUN/BAZOOKA/LAUNCHER/TANK!"Since I know I'm not getting a response anytime soon, I'll just take y'all's silence as a "yes"
"Unite GUN/BAZOOKA/LAUNCHER/TANK!"Ya know, I've been kinda wondering on meta level why the Basil is necessary to story. Like game doesn't adress why would 12 year old think first idea to protect their friend to be faking a suicide rather than just hiding body or something because its more important to story what happened and consenquences of it than trying to make everything to be perfectly "clean".
I think I figured out narrative for it Game's twist needs you to think Mari's death was suicide before it is revealed to be tragic accident. But if it turned out Sunny pushed her and hanged her body on his own, it would make him "too" guilty in the end. Like ending of game work's because of ambigiouty, you don't know how the friends reacted to truth, but there needs to be plausible possiblity of "maybe it will eventually work out and everyone moves on." or it wouldn't be ambigious. Even with trauma and amnesia if Sunny was responsible for both of it, it'd be hard to believe his life isn't basically over after this.
So my analysis is that Basil exists to literally share burden of guilt with Sunny. Sunny caused the death, Basil faked the death, by there being two people to share the guilt together, its not impossibly hard to believe they could eventually move on after the truth comes out.
The console version has released and has some new content! There is a playable basil in the hikkiomori route, as well as new bosses and music in the Boss Rush mode. The bosses are Bossman Hero if you return to Last Resort, Aubrey, Kel, and Hero as a team in the boss rush, and also Mari waiting at the end

While the winner (Nier Replicant) deserves praise and awards for it's stunning music, the fact that it's a remake of a 2010 game does feel like cheating.
Although I blame a Christmas 2020 release date. Kind of like the Oscars, it's hard to remember the ones come the next awards show when they release immediately after. That and AAA game bias (okay I get it, God of War is good but can any soundtrack really be better than something that has the Moebius theme!?)

Since the character folder for Omori (the character) is so spoilerific that they’re unmarked (I unmarked them and put a warning since most of the the folder was whited out) should we split the sheet for Omori into a folder for how he is for most of the game and a different one for endgame tropes in the Headspace page with the title “The Ruler of Headspace” or something to the same effect?

Once Upon A Time.

Honestly really surprised that this game hasnt had a thread after all this time. Time to give it some justice! After 6 years since its kickstarter, OMO CAT is proud to present: Omori
Omori is a sprite based, turn based RPG that also doubles as a psychological and surreal horror game, switching between quirky and whimsical dreamscape to nightmarish visuals throughout the story. You play as Omori, a depressed young boy who hangs out with his dear friends: Kel, Aubrey, Hero, Basil, and his sister Mari. Soon after your adventure starts however, Basil disappeard, and you emb a rk on a journey to find him and also unravel the mysteries of White Space.
The game has been out for a few months so there are spoilers all over the place, so while it may be hard to do, its highly reccomended to play blind. FAIR WARNING THOUGH: This game has some very dark themes, such as suicide, anxiety, depression, and also contains flashing lights in later sections.
